Arashi’s Ninomiya Kazunari comments about his relationship with Sasaki Nozomi

[goren-solves.livejournal.com]

On June 26th, Arashi held a charity event, “Arashi no Waku Waku Gakkou”, in the Tokyo Dome, and at this event, Ninomiya Kazunari (28) was asked about the rumors regarding him and Sasaki Nozomi (23). He commented, “We are just normal friends.”

This rumor began back in May when the public started questioning the relationship between them.

One of the reporters asked Ninomiya, “So does this mean that your relationship with her is going well?” He responded with a smile, “It’s normal.” Then he stressed the point of “friends” by following his response with, “Friends? Yes.”

After the interview that occurred on the day of the final performance of “Arashi no Waku Waku Gakkou”, Ninomiya was called out by reporters as he was leaving. At first, it seemed as he was surprised at their appearance based on his expression, but he stopped his tracks and calmly dealt with the reporters with their questions.

According to the reports published last month, the two got to know each other last spring and from thereafter have repeatedly visited each other’s houses for dates. After such reports, the agencies stated about their relationship, “We have heard that they are just friends.”

During the event in May, Sasaki commented, “Since I can get lonely at times, I often always want to be with ‘friends’.” When the reporters boldly questioned Ninomiya about their relationship, he would only display his smile and not comment on it.

Don't know much about the girl except from seeing her on HnA. She's cute, I'd be happy for nino lol.

[pinkandroid.livejournal.com]

She is beautiful! Good for him. :)

[alexalena.livejournal.com]

Just friends... yeah ._.

I don't care who's his girlfriend, really. Before Nozomi, I wanted him to be with yuriko, and before that I wanted him to be with Shoko-tan.

They are humans too, like all of us.

So, why we can have boyfriends and they can't? Why we can have sex and they can't? Why we can live a perfectly and normal love life and they can't?

Sometimes we, as fans, forget that they aren't ours. Of course, we can play and simulate and write fics but that's all. Their personal life isn't for the public to mess with. I mean, -and that's hard to admit- we don't know them and probably we will never have an opportunity to do it.

...

tl;dr

I hope he (and the rest of the boys) can have a happy and fulfilling love live, because:

Arashi + happiness = Fans + happiness

aaand that's a fact =D

So, get it boy! <3

[goren-solves.livejournal.com]

Yup, that's why it's called their "personal life", bcoz it not for the public. Thay do enough to entertain us:)


(going astray from the Nino subject...I'm still rooting for the MaotsuJun pair to happen though! hehe;)

[kurata-kasuki.livejournal.com]

thanks for this

[goren-solves.livejournal.com]

Ur welcome.

[allodole.livejournal.com]

If they're just friends, good for them. A guy and a girl can be just friends. Yeah, I know. Shocking.
If they're dating, good for them. Their love life is none of my business. :| Obvs I want him to be happy, no matter what he does.

[crishi.livejournal.com]

I agree. They can be just friends. I think Nino and also the other 4 have also girls as friends and not only boys. It's perfectly normal.
However if they have girlfriends and they 're happy, I'd be happy too for them. And I would not be interested in magazines or tabloids to say me who is she and what they do in private 'cause their love life is none of my business. So I think magazines should stop to talk about and ask them of their private life (private = not for public)...

[ninomusic.livejournal.com]

I'm so sick of the rumors, just let the boys fall in love with who they want and let them live their life.
Thanks for sharing btw :)

[goren-solves.livejournal.com]

Haha...well this is the first tym I posted somthing like this, I was just curious about what eveyone's reaction will be (apparently, a lot of people hav strong opinions about this..)

Nways, thanks for reading:)

[kanu-x.livejournal.com]

I agree with so many. I'm so sick of the rumors now. Leave him the F*CK alone. Leave her the eff alone.
I'm love with the boys loving each other, but the membersXgirls is nobody's business.

[kokorika.livejournal.com]

Great Answer!!!
Happy :D

[leiyah-chan.livejournal.com]

I read this at Tokyo Hive yesterday.

Personally, I think Nino's DEFINITELY at the right age to think and do what he think is right/wrong with his life :P

I really don't mind if he gets into a relationship with anybody as long as he's happy :)

[karmade.livejournal.com]

The only thing i like about this article is this
At first, it seemed as he was surprised at their appearance based on his expression, but he stopped his tracks and calmly dealt with the reporters with their questions.
Such an extremely polite and professional way to deal with annyoning reporters, as expected from Nino <3 All those rumors piss me off so bad, because leave him alone already, god damnit, yet Nino himself is capable to be this calm about it and dont run away. But I hope they'll leave him alone now, it's sikening to wake up to news about how reporters stalked nino from door to door =_=

as for sasaki and if they are or not in relationship, I dont even gonna comment. Nino may have sex, date and marry with whoever he wants, and that's it. *rolls eyes*

[elven-myth.livejournal.com]

I can't agree more!! :) Despite the rumours (whether they're rumours or not, who knows) Nino is still polite and professional towards the media.

Whatever the situation is, whether they are in a relationship or not, I hope that Nino is happy :)

[familytables.livejournal.com]

Nicely said everyone. I swear the only reason this stupid thing wont go away is he's still in the spot light thanks to Gantz. It'll be nice when they switch their sights to another members (Feels bad for throwing the others under the bus).

[goren-solves.livejournal.com]

That's true... But then, this kind of thing wont be going away for any of them anytime soon, after all, that's the life of an idol/talent,
along with the fame are all those annoying invasions to your privacy...

Ganbatte Arashi minna-san:)

[animecook.livejournal.com]

I'll be happy for him as long as he's happy, but honestly I see Nino hooking up with an older woman being more probable.

[bakacy.livejournal.com]

Hey, have you ever thought about the deal of 'friends' being referred to as 'sex friends'?
I mean, we all know what a powerhouse Nino is. And, there have been so many gossiping about him cheating Nagasawa Masami. What about that other girl (forgot her name!) who was Nino's ex yet when they met again he asked her to meet her again no matter what even if she has a boyfriend.

So, I am telling you, they are probably sex friends

[mikandrops.livejournal.com]

again with all this... sometimes the public forgets that though they are idols and are technically "paid" to "entertain" people, we do not own their private/personal lives...

besides theyre all at the age thats right for a long term relationship..

also i think the reason why japan media is so hyped up about this is because in japan, a guy and a girl can't definitely be "friends" and not have something goin on...some may but culturally AND traditionally - theyre just like that

deal.with.it

[mikandrops.livejournal.com]

just a follow through though...

i thought johnnys werent allowed to be asked about dating rumors and such...??

[goren-solves.livejournal.com]

Yea, i know huh...I also thought they considered it super rude, almost unethical, to ask an "idol" about their love life for the sake of their fans...But I guess, maybe its bcoz Nino's attracting so much attention, that the reporters can't help themselves....

[muharami79.livejournal.com]

hmm..just don't see what's all the fuss about..the main thing is we all want our beloved brat to be happy..whoever that person is..as long as Nino is happy, for me that's the best news yet..whether it's Sasaki..or Ohno *rolls eyes*, I think Nino is making the right choice by not commenting about it..and the saying "as idols, they are public property and fans have right to know who they r dating n what not" be damned:)

[lemonylime89.livejournal.com]

I for one am glad that we get rumors like this. It reminds me that Arashi is now at that age when marriage is very likely soon. I'd rather be reminded that Nino could have someone kept in private--- that way it won't be so bad if suddenly he announces a wedding announcement or smth big!

[kazenomukoe.livejournal.com]

thank you so much for sharing ^^

it's our brat boy ...
"hope you will find happiness ,it's not important whit who :X"

[sakurai-stigma.livejournal.com]

In my country when superstar answer like this it's means they are in a relationship , may be can get married! Congratulation for nino to meet his soulmate. I think if arashi have the rumour with the girl is better than have a rumour with boy. so, I be happy with him too much. And I happy with nino can get fat by enjoy eating. I think when he has home date they will have a lot thing to do the best is making a food together so, that's why nino be fat xD

thanks for sharing this information

[tararingo.livejournal.com]

omg i kinda pity them now, dealing with media like that....(except i still dream for the nino-yuriko couple mihihii)
but what happens between nino and sasaki is really cute! well, bittersweet might describe it better, though ;)
