From headline of newspaper in Japan today - Ohno Otoko Tears

Rough Trans of Riida’s Words of Thanks during the Hawaii Concert

“I truly want to thank everyone, I was really emotional after we got on the helicopter and it soared into the skies, now I don’t know how to react any more.  When we arrived in Hawaii the previous night, I stood on the balcony alone & reminisce about what happened 15 years ago.  I have mostly forgotten about what happened that day, but I can still recall feeling confused and worried about the whole situation.  But ….. (Ohno’s voice cracks & he eventually breaks down crying, the audience calls out his name and he puts his hands together in prayer position & gestures an apology while silently crying) ……..after 15 years, the confusion & worrisome feelings are all gone……thanks to my members, the staff, the managers and most importantly you the fans who have supported us these past 15 years.  Moving on to year number 16, please continue to travel this journey with us.  Once again thank you all so much for today.”
