Okay, I know this is old news, but what the hell.
I heard this rumor that Nakajima Yuto of HSJ has a girlfriend. There was even a picture posted of the two kissing. I honestly don't know if that really is Yuto, but let's just assume it is for entry's sake.
I heard that the girl in the picture was Yurina Kumai from Berryz Kobou. I didn't really care for her at first, since I didn't who she was. But when I did some idle searching, I found out she's that tall girl from Berryz' Tomodachi wa Tomodachi Nanda PV. Before I even knew who the members were, she was already my favorite (Sorry Miyabi!). She seems really nice and I kind of like her voice. Plus I can relate to her being the tallest all the time XD So I was happy with myself because I didn't end up hating her just because she kissed Yuto. Honestly, people shouldn't mind who their idol/bias dates (except if it's a person who smokes or does drugs or something like that...DUH.) It's none of our business.
And besides, I read somewhere that that picture was taken before Yuto debuted (either in HS7 or HSJ, idk), so it's really old news. People shouldn't bash on Yurina Kumai!
AAAAAND Yamada released a statement about a resurfaced rumor about Yuto's girlfriend. You can find it here:

Well, that's about it for my rant. Haha, I just don't see the big deal about it. I love Yuto and HSJ, but they're still people. They could date other people. Perhaps they even prefer those in the same industry as they are so they could understand each other's situation when it comes to things like this. I know I would. Add the fact that they're famous and most probably not in the same country as you. They probably won't meet you your entire life, much more date you. Be content with admiring them from afar. :)
But I do think Yuto was a bit reckless, because they have rules like that for a reason. It's so neither of the individuals involved would get bashed or hated. It's similar to a scandal. It'd be a big problem for the company if it results in the idol being pulled from CMs or dramas *ehem ehem T-ara ehem*. Just don't break the rules so recklessly next time Yuto! >_
