It seems very introspective and you get to see the members reflecting very seriously. So serious, in fact, that it can come off as pretty sombre. Though I have to say, I feel like the editing in the first episode feels very choppy and rushed. Perhaps they wanted to squeeze a lot of different contents into the first episode to give the viewers a context as to how much of a whirlwind it has been right before and right after the hiatus announcement. However, that choppiness carried on to their individual interviews which can be a lil bit annoying. That said, I really enjoy seeing this personal side of the ARASHI members and I'm excited to see the rest.

Yeah, I was not a fan of the production style. The editing felt amateurish. And I know this documentary is primarily being aimed at Netflix Japan users who are already familiar with the group, but with such a worldwide platform, I would have expected them to put more effort into making it accessible to people who have no idea who this band is. It really just drops you right into it with very little explanation of anything and just assumes you are familiar with the band.
