Kanna x Hasshi Scandal?

NEWS: Bubka's latest edition is promoting itself as revealing C-ute's first scandal which is the alleged relationship of Arihara Kanna and Johnny Jr. member Hashimoto Ryosuke.

The pair are seen walking around, sitting next to each other, with one incriminating photo of Kanna resting her head on Hasshi's shoulder as she watches him fiddle with something in his hands.

Some points from the article: (cred Ayabie)

- Kanna was spotted outside a station in Yokohama
- While the witness was wondering if she was waiting for another H!P member, Hashimoto shows up. Before coming to any conclusions thinking there might be more people on the way, the two of them start walking away instead.
- The two of them headed for a nearby cinema and got tickets for Hana Yori Dango: Final.
- Since there was still time before the movie started the two of them sat down on a bench in the lobby. The witness describes that there seemed to be a distance between the two, probably because people were walking past them all the time. Kanna had a cap to cover her face just in case, but Hashimoto didn't really have anything and had to occasionally cover his face with his hands.
- After a while they held hands and started cuddling, but the witness could tell they were holding back, or they just started going out recently. (The rest is basically about what's going in the pictures)
- There have been rumors from before about C-ute having contact with Johnny's Jr. Could they have met back then?
- After the movie the two of them left the cinema while holding hands. Surprisingly they didn't head anywhere else after that and the date actually ended right there.
- "A refreshing couple that doesn't emit the smell of a scandal at all"

Kanna is one of my favourite H!P members so this news is disappointing, not because I don't want Kanna to be in a relationship but the fact that she could possibly be removed from H!P from something as ridiculously non-existent as this. Anyone who has ever had a close friend of the opposite gender knows that lots of pairs of friends act like this and even if the pair is an item, it's hardly something to crucify the poor girl over. Oh well, I guess we'll keep our eyes and ears open for more news. Let's hope Kanna stays safe. I have a feeling nothing will come from this (or hoping at least).
