Top Japanese idol group Arashi has returned with the fourth installment of Arashi Picturebook Storytime, where they read aloud stories to entertain both kids and adults.

This time, they have chosen to do a read-aloud of popular Brothers Grimm story "Little Red Riding Hood."

"We've been doing these picturebook storytimes for all the people stuck at home to have a little bit of fun. Today is part 4!" member Sho Sakurai says in the beginning of the video.

Since it is the fourth installment of the series, all members promised to level up their acting.

Sho Sakurai will be the narrator. Satoshi Ohno will play Little Red Riding Hood, while Masaki Aiba will play the Wolf. Jun Matsumoto will play the grandmother and Kazunari Ninomiya will be the mother.

The group has previously read "The Three Little Pigs," "The Adventures of Son Goku" and "Jack and the Beanstalk" for the series.
