"Arihara Kanna Dating?" and "5 (FIVE)"!

The Japanese tabloud magazine, Bubka, has published an article (see pictures above) about C-ute member Arihara Kanna spotted going to the movies with Johnny's member Ryosuke Hashimoto. According to said article, they were spotted going to see Hana Yori Dango: Final together - a film starring fellow Johnny's member Matsumoto Jun.

For those of you who haven't been following the news very recently, Morning Musume's newest concert tour DVD, which features footage from the concert held in Tokyo on May 18th, 2008, will probably be one of the biggest Morning Musume concerts of the last couple of years. Definately the best since around this time last year when Yoshizawa Hitomi graduated with the 2007 Spring concert Sexy 8 Beat. Why? Well, this concert has performances of every A-side track Morning Musume have ever released. No one can complain about this concert as their favourite...
