1999–2001: Debut and departure from Pony Canyon Johnny & Associates announced the group's debut on September 15, 1999 through a press conference aboard a cruise ship off the coast of Honolulu, Hawaii.
Then-president Johnny Kitagawa chose five trainees from the Johnny's Jr. division of the agency to become the members of Arashi, the Japanese word for Storm, and to represent the agency's thrust of "creating a storm throughout the world".
On November 3, 1999, they made their CD debut by releasing the single "Arashi ", which became the theme song for the Volleyball World Cup hosted by Japan in 1999. It went on to become a major hit, selling 557,430 copies in
its first week and almost a million copies by the end of its chart run.
Sakurai Sho .... is the man who thinks before making a determination in life. He is the man whose ideals which exceed their morale. He's an studious man, he's upright, intelligent, respectful, friendly, cordial and unique.
With Sho dosen't exist middle ground, he is faithful follower of the rules and is strict in his work. He loves his friends especially Aiba Masaki ... his raps are the best in the world. For all this things I will always be grateful with you for be part of such magnificent music group like Arashi.
Sakurai-kun ... Thanks
