Translation notes: General: 20 is the age of adulthood in Japan - not only legally (for drinking, smoking, and driving), but culturally, that's when you're considered to have grown up.
1 - Staff members that are part of A-FRIENDS.
2 - A-FRIENDS is a "group" formed by Nino consisting of Arashi and the two staff members in the song (the name is likely a pun on the Johnny's supergroup J-FRIENDS). Each time a member of Arashi turned 20, A-FRIENDS would compose a song for him. Since Jun was the last member to turn 20, A-FRIENDS ended with this song.
