I like to know because I'm a busy body.
However if they wish to keep quiet on their personal relationship, I'm fine with them keeping it as a secret. They need some privacy.
Fans do not need to pester them about it. Just leave to the paparazzi and sleazy tabloids writers to dig up the news (which of course I'll read).

Though it would be interesting to hear about it, I'd rather not have them annuonce a relationship-- in fear of what crazy fans might do. Also, it'll be trouble for them with Johnny, and it's just way too hectic and insane and unfair for them. Like most celebrities, I think they cherish their privacy anyway. The only thing I'd ever want, like most of you guys here, is for them to find someone just for them and be happy forever and ever and ever~ Ganbatte Arashi, find your soulmates~

I don't mind reading about them dating that means they are healthy people. They need to think bout their future. However i don't like if there's too detailed story as i would prefer them to keep some things to themselves.
The thing is some fan think that artist belong to them only and that is why they are willing to commit suicide if their idols are having relationship with other people.

For me. it's somewhat complicated because unless I can see them as an attractive couple (and I don't mean looks but personality) then I would rather not know but as long as they were happy that's all that matters. Being part of Johnny's kinda makes it hard so I don't ever think we'll ever truly see any of them in a relationship until their married and it'll probably be a shock.

I would like to know the truth, but I would probably go on an inner rampage about how angry I am, but remind myself that, as long as they're happy, that's all I need. ^^

In some ways, I'd like to know - it sort of makes the boys seem more normal, and knowing that their love lifes are completely concealed sort of makes me suspect everything about their public persona of being fabricated - even though I don't actually think it is. Plus, I think it's nice for them, so I'd like to know. . . but then again, even if we know that they're seeing someone, we can't know how happy and healthy the relationship is (heck, sometimes you can't even tell that with close friends) so I guess I might also worry.

On the other hand, it might be easier for them to conduct the relationship if it's secret, cos if it's public then there's pressure for them always to make it look like they're happy together, and that's not natural!

Also, I'd rather it wasn't announced because every time a rumour circulates, people in the fandom freak out and that really annoys me. Like what was said in the original post, with Japanese fangirls freaking out and sending letters. It's so unpleasant and immature and inappropriate. So I do think it's better for the boys in general if their relationships are kept a secret - it's just that if the truth does come out, it makes it seem like a shameful thing that was supposed to be hidden, which is sad.

i don't mind knowing.. but honestly i don't really care if they're going out with someone as long as they're happyand besides, its their life.. they have the right to do watever they want with it.. although i think i might get a tiny bit jealous if i hear it for the first time but then after that i'll totally support n be happy for them hehehehehe

I want to know. I'll probably go insane if I knew. I chose the truth. LOL♣

i rather not know.
if i knew about it, i would be like "omg, you serious?" that kinda thing.

I'm okay with knowing. I'd be initially shocked at first, but idols can fall in love just as we do. I just wouldn't want to hear any further details besides who the guys are going out with. Otherwise, I'd be in a state of constant heartache. Also, I'd like the guys to be truthful with their fans. It makes me love them more, despite that they may be in romantic relationships with other girls.

Not really. Who they're dating are their own bussiness and as long as they are happy with the people they are with I couldn't care less! Plus let's not forget about that Johnny's policy! If they lived at my country however the whole world would like to know! lol

well... I'd like to know their status... single/taken...

let's face it... they are humans... and they are surely not our belongings...

we may idolize them but we can put them into cages.....

they need their own life.. and lets be happy that THEY are happy and enjoying THEIR live not just ours...

its better to know that they are dating than to one point knowing that they are gonna be married without any clue...

hmmm not really.. i mean it's okay for me to find out, but it's not a necessity or anything like that. however if i do find out that they're dating, i'll be happy for arashi because i think they do deserve normal lives with dating and all.

i want them to date and have relationships because they should. it would help to prove to my friends that they are not gay. at least i hope lol and i think it would be better to find out before all of a sudden they're marrying some girl b/c she's pregnant or something. however i know i'd be a little sad b/c sometimes even when they have a relationship in a show i think "oh heck no she's not good enough" hahah like in kiiroi namida.
