So... I came across something that caught my eye today. I'm sure it caught many of your eyes as well. This isn't new news, but I have my own two cents to put in. So, for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, if there are any of you like that, this is what happened. A magazine was released and inside were... dun dun dunnnn... scandalous photos of our beloved Ohno. Trust me, the photos are scandalous. According the the article, Ohno took pictures of himself and two other girls, thereby hinting at a threesome. All three have a look of typical drunken happiness and they seem to be having lots of.. er.. fun with each other. Here are the photos.
Ohno looks especially high in the second photo. Apparently, one of the girls have said that Ohno was smoking marijuana or weed or some other illegal grass. By the way, these pictures are about three years old. So, here are the two cents I promised.
First of all, I want to say that I am disappointed in Ohno. No, I don't love him any less, but for the moment, this does make me a little sad. Now, don't come to attack me and say that I should just laugh this off, because this isn't a laughing matter. If it's just the question of messing around with the girls, that already makes me kind of sick because I personally disapprove of this stuff. Oh and I don't believe all that junk about 'oh he's an idol, he shouldn't have been doing this stuff in the first place.' It's not because he's an idol. If it was anyone, I would still disapprove of messing around like that. I believe in dignity and pride, and these photos seem to obliterate that. And yes, I do believe that Ohno should have known better. I look down on such... pastimes and pleasures.
Now, if the marijuana stuff is true, I'm even more disappointed in him. I've read other posts about this scandal. There are many who say that it's "just grass." Sure, grass that is toxic and jumbles up the order of your mind. I don't care whether it's legal or illegal. I don't think anyone should do something like that to their bodies. It is irresponsible. I understand that Ohno needs a bit of fun now and then, seeing as how busy all of our boys are these days, but this is something else. I must say that such fun is not to my liking.
I love Arashi. I love Ohno. I want the best for him, just like all of us do. This is not what's best for him. These photos can get him in trouble with the police and with the jimusho. Right now, I just hope that he isn't punished too harshly. Please don't misunderstand me. I'm not trying to sound pompous or righteous, but I will assert my beliefs. If I ever found out one of my close friends did something like this, they would hear the same things from me. So, because I consider Ohno a .. well, friend, I would want to tell him what I think.
And all those people who say they laughed when they heard it, I don't think they should be laughing. Ohno could get into serious trouble. Of course, I'm hoping that this thing will blow over like all the previous scandals, but you just can't tell...
