Mayonaka no Arashi (真夜中の嵐, Midnight Arashi) was a Japanese variety show that ran from October 3, 2001 to June 26, 2002 on NTV. Aired from 24:45 to 25:15 (JST), it was Japanese boy band Arashi's first independent variety show, in which they were the primary hosts.

Concept[edit]

If there's a mountain, climb; if there's an ocean, dive; if there's a cliff, fly.[fn 1]

— Shinichi Hatori, Mayonaka no Arashi, Episode 1

Described as an adventure show, at least one member would solitarily explore different parts of Japan by bicycle until sunrise without any money or a map.[1] He would board the last train of the night and exit the train at any station he pleases.[1] The starting point of the journey across Japan began at Makurazaki Station in the Kagoshima Prefecture (south of Japan) and ended at Cape Sōya in Hokkaidō (north of Japan), where Arashi and their co-host Shinichi Hatori (Zoom in! Super newscaster) buried a time capsule containing items the members received during their adventures and letters to their future selves.[2] Hatori and Arashi opened the time capsule during the group's live tenth anniversary special Odoroki no Arashi! The Century's Biggest Experiments! Impossible Feats Special & Miracle Experiments Live Broadcast! on November 1, 2009.[2]
