Satoshi Ohno is reported to have been in love for “over 10 years”… “Legendary scandal” left behind by “Arashi” near the end of their career.

The group announced “farewell” immediately after the scandal.
Arashi” is in the midst of their last tour and will end their activities as a group after their Tokyo Dome concert on May 31. Although they are known for their clean image, behind the scenes of their more than 25 years of activities, there have been numerous scandals and reports of love affairs that have shaken the public.
They are still causing a stir today.
Ono Satoshi (45), the leader of the group, was reported in the April 30 issue of “Shukan Bunshun” (weekly magazine) to have reunited with a former actress, Ako, with whom he had once been reportedly dating for the first time in about 10 years, and to have been seeing her repeatedly. The report of their love affair during their last tour was met with a lot of criticism from their fans.
Ohno-kun is also a good age. ……
He is of marriageable age.
while others were more positive, saying, “I honestly didn’t want to hear about it during his last tour.
But there were also harsh comments like, “I honestly didn’t want to hear about it during the last tour.
Some were harsh, saying, “I honestly didn’t want to hear that during his last tour. There is no doubt that many people, not just fans, took notice.
The other woman “hinted” on her blog
The source of this “10-year-long” love affair was an article in “FRIDAY” that reported his live-in love with Ako in ‛15. At the time, Arashi was at the height of its popularity, and the ending was unthinkable today.
What was unusual was that Mr. Ono held a press conference at the concert venue immediately after the report. He said, ‘We will never see each other again,’ in effect declaring his ‘farewell. The expression on Mr. Ohno’s face was impressive, as if he was “out of his mind. The harsh criticism from fans and the response of the office to this incident were said to be one of the reasons for the 20-year hiatus.
(Sports newspaper reporter) Later in ‛20, Ohno was also reported to be in a relationship with a single mother, Biko. It was said that his preparation for life on a remote island was also in anticipation of his marriage to this woman. One entertainment industry insider said,
It was said that at the time of his hiatus in ‛20, not only his relationship with Ms. A, but also his relationship with Ms. B was one of the main reasons for his hiatus. At the time of his hiatus, as for Mr. Ohno, he had no regrets about the entertainment industry and was thinking of retiring. It is said that Mr. Ono was reluctant to participate in this last tour until the very end. That is how closely his personal struggles must have been related to the group’s progress or failure.
Mr. Ono is also a bit more blunt than Mr. Ono.
In a sense, the person who shocked fans more than Ono was Kazuya Ninomiya (42), whose love affair with a former freelance announcer was revealed in 2004.
When the love affair was reported, fans were upset because there were a series of posts on the other woman’s blog and other social networking sites that hinted at a relationship.
The rejection of her by fans was tremendous. Nevertheless, Ninomiya himself was smitten, and in ‛19 he became the first in the group to get married. There were rumors that there was some trouble within the group as well as the fans regarding this marriage. Especially for Mr. Ono, who even declared his “farewell” in 2003, Ninomiya’s marriage must have been complicated. ……
In the past, Ninomiya has been reported to have been romantically involved with big-name actresses such as Masami Nagasawa (38) in 2007 and Nozomi Sasaki (38) in 2011. He is “the most popular guy in Arashi,” and his willpower seems to have been the strongest of all, as he finally announced his marriage without waiting for a hiatus.
Arashi has always been at the forefront as a national group. Their scandals have sometimes been a headwind for them, but many fans feel the weight of their current appearance as a person who overcame those scandals.
Their every move will be closely watched until their last day.
On YouTube, FRIDAY Digital’s “Entertainment Reporter Channel,” current entertainment reporters look back on the scandals and love affairs of Arashi as the group nears the end of its career, under the title “Arashi: 26 Years of Scandal History. In addition to Ono and Ninomiya, they also delve into the “true relationship” between Matsumoto Jun (42) and Inoue Mao (39), and the other side of the “same day marriage” between Sakurai Sho (44) and Aiba Masaki (43).
