I read this shocking news on the Arashi LiveJournal community just moments ago. It appears that Sho-chan had fell off the stage during rehearsal. His right arm thumb was fractured along with minor leg injury. Apparently, he would have dove head first if his arm didn’t break the fall. (Thank god!!!) He was taken to the hospital immediately and the injured areas placed in a cast. The healing process would take approx. 2 weeks. Nino was by his side during the ride to the hospital.
Poor Sho-kun, this is just terrible, but sooo relieved that he is alright. The rest of the members must have been extremely worried. Brave thing is still going on with the concerts, he should really rest.
Edited: The injury might have only been his thumb rather than arm. Okay, I’m a bit less worried now. Unfortunately, there’s still no confirmation, I just have to wait until an article is released.
Update: Finally obtained official information regarding Sho-kun’s injuries from a newspaper posting via LiveJournal and a fan who had attended an Arashi concert yesterday. Apparently, it was only has right thumb that was fractured. I’m sooo glad that it was nothing severed, but an injury is an injury, no matter how minor it is. I cannot imagine how much pain he must have experienced and still might be. I’m glad Sho-kun is in high spirits, but I really, really hope that he does not stress himself out. Stay strong and speedy recovery to you, Sho-kun!
