3 WATCH: Arashi in concert
The J-pop boy band Arashi, which will be going on indefinite hiatus at the end of this year, had their plans for the year disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic.
They have cancelled a Beijing concert and postponed shows at the newly built Japan National Stadium.
In a bid to provide some entertainment for those staying home, the five-man group have put up two of their concerts - Untitled and Arafes 2012 - on their official YouTube channel for free. They have also uploaded videos of themselves reading children's books, which come with English subtitles.
