Ohno, you pimp.

[aide]

I am oddly jealous of these girls who he got down with.  Although, I wouldn't want to share with any other girl.  Or boy, if that were the case.  Ahhh... Ohno, you pimp.  This is the first "scandal" of his that I have heard of (though there are more, I'm sure) but seriously?  The pictures are from the summer of 2005, according to the note in the magazine.  That was three years ago!  I would be remiss to think that a healthy, studly 24 year old guy was not getting laid on a regular basis.  As I said to iaoiua, good for him.  Go big, or go home.  Nice job, Ohno. 

I just had a thought -- who the fuck was taking the pictures? :O

He admitted to the sex but not the drugs, but even if it were true about the drugs, he would be an idiot admit it.  I personally don't think its a huge deal -- I don't smoke myself and never have, but I'm from Canada, Vancouver, no less, where if you don't smoke, you're the odd one out.  But it is illegal in Japan and the laws are very strict on drug ab/use.  Of course, that doesn't stop people who want it -- my Nova friends (I shouldn't name names) are able to get their hands on it and they are in more of a precarious position than he is.  If they get caught, they will lose their jobs, spend time in prison and most likely be deported.  He's a Japanese national so he'd probably just get fined and get put on probation or something -- do they make you do jail time for pot here?  Must google it.  According to the Japanese Cannabis Control Law (大麻取締法), if you are caught growing, importing or exporting, you'll be jailed for 7-10 years and fined 3 million yen ($30,000).  For possession, its about 5 years jail and a 2 milion yen ($20,000) fine.  Bear in mind, I just plugged the Japanese legalese into Excite translator and extrapolated.  I don't think Ohno will come under any legal fire (from the government at least) because it was three years ago and unless he is in possession now, I don't think they can do anything. 

Johnny would be a fool to fire him for that, even if it were true.  In the grand scheme of things and the big bad world of drugs, it's the best one he could have picked.  And just because he used once -- three years ago, keep in mind -- doesn't mean he does now or has recently.  Should it matter?  No.  Does it?  Apparently, yes, because AU is editing his parts in the CMs out for the time being.  As for Maou or 24hr TV -- I think it's too late for them to take any action, even if they wanted to.  Don't quote me on that -- that's just my opinion.

Who gives a shit about who he was fucking back then?  Or even now, for that matter.  It really makes me wonder what would happen if Johnny didn't have an embargo on their sex lives and just let them do whatever.  Of course, if they were normal -- and Arashi is, in my opinion -- they aren't going to parade their girlfriends (or boyfriends) around just for shits and giggles.  Just like stars in the West -- some are very private about their relationships and don't talk about it and don't have their pictures taken or whatever, but because there isn't any "rules" about it, it isn't such a huge deal when it does happen.  Chances are, if the partners aren't in the industry, they wouldn't want them to be subjected to media harassment and stuff.  The reasoning I've heard is that fangirls will go psycho and rage on the boys if they are in a relationship and doing healthy, normal things but I think that's crap.  Bad press is still press and I bet this makes JE more money that it actually costs them to hush things up.

I don't run in other fandoms like NEWS, KAT-TUN or K8 but I don't think Arashi's squeaky-clean-boy-next-door image does them any favours when something like this happens.  If something like this surfaced about Jin or Ryo, would people freak out so much?  Or would they just say, "Oh yea, just like I thought".  Haha.  But I love how everyone (in fandom at least) is enjoying this.  It's complete schadenfreude but I hope he is laughing this off, or trying to.  Although, if he had a more serious look on his face and didn't look completely blitzed out of his head -- if he wasn't high, he was definitely drunk as hell -- people might be reacting differently.  Japanese guys tend to (sadly) take cheating lightly and think being drunk negates all responsibility, especially if they can't remember what they did, but I don't think threesomes with your girlfriend are accepted so freely.


ILU OHNO, YOU PIMP ♥

Edit: I just read a fic about Ohno doing drugs at iwanaide.  Ironic?  It made me hurt, go read it.

Because this is the best I've seen about this. Half of the flist are whining and crying and outraged and make no sense.

The big question should be...Who'd want to share Ohno with another girl?! Another arashi boy, yes! lol.

You're welcome. I'm glad it was informative. Though I wont' be posting it to a_ra_shi to avoid the wank. I did my share of whining about his weight but this is just hilarious and fucking retarded. I know! No sharing of that monster cock.

There was some hullabaloo about the possibility of Photoshopping, etc. I know that the gut reaction of fangirls is to believe that rumors are never true - but you know, what if they are? Are you going to stop supporting them? Are you "disappointed" in someone who isn't even an acquaintance? Ohno Satoshi the artist, the singer, the dancer, the 天才 - the fisherman, even - can very much be Ohno Satoshi the healthy male.

For the "record" though, it seems that Oh-chan's words suggest admission of "fooling around" rather than "YES THREESOME YESSS." It also seems that there is dissent amongst the community as to whether Ohno made the statement himself or not. As for me - it's not about if I believe in Ohno on an assumption of innocence, but rather that even if he had a threesome, and even if that was some ungodly sin, I wouldn't toss him aside for this. Accepting that this is true or may be true is in no way OMG! I AM NO LONGER A FAN OF OHNO SATOSHI

Besides, love and sex yield good results :D

Hrm... I don't see how those could be photoshoped. It was one stupid drunken night, pot or no pot.

Yea... I don't get fandom sometimes. We all make stupid mistakes, does that change us as people? I'd like to think not. I took a look at this infamous 2chan and, not that I could read much of it, but I gathered a bunch of the Johnny's posters are like 12. Of course they'd be scandalized.

I'll stick by him. Ohno's the man.

Someone posted about those pictures being photoshopped.

All I can think of is, WOOH! OHNO! &hearts YOU DOG! I am worried about how this is going to affect Arashi and their image and up coming shows/singles/and so on.

As for that threesome, until I see a naked Ohno and those 2 girls naked, there was no threesome. He's fully clothed! And like you said, who is taking those pictures?! JOHNNY! THE ORIGINAL ODB I could see Aiba with a scandal like this, but Ohno SRS.... And again it's been proven true, it's always the quiet ones.

Well said. ♥ The panic is getting a bit scarier than the whole scndal itself. I find it hard to see why anyone is surprised that Ohno was actually getting some, and while the pot rumors are probably bunk, they can't prove it and he'd be an idiot to admit it. Fandom needs to calm down a little. Johnny is clearly sticking up for Ohno/Arashi by canceling that contract with Kodansha, so I'm hoping that things will be fine.

I didn't want to give so much further thought to this, but after reading from you that they started editing Ohno's AU parts and stuff, seriously how far can this get? I hate Japan media right now. He's only a human for God's sake. And it's his life. So what if he went wild one night? He still looked like he was happy and having fun. The pot may be a little over the top for me though. But what if he did? I agree with most of what's been commented on your post. I won't stop supporting the pimp because of this. even with the threesome idea makes me love him even more @_@ XDD

~__~ Really I kinda just wish the media would leave stars alone for once to make mistakes and have a LIFE....x_X
