Okay, I saw an interesting thing in a hungarian celebrity page.. There was an article about Ayu's new relationship with Maro, but the picture was with Shuya!(Fail!) There were few people who told that they look cute together.. of course, the article mentioned that Maro is her dancer and 6 year younger..

http://starity.hu/magazin/33213-tanc...yumi-hamasaki/

Hm... somehow I've heard that Maro is a massive playboy with Ayu's female fans in Japan but I don't really know how true that is. Apparently that is where some rumors of people "leaving TA" come from because she's getting together with a guy that they do not like due to the fact that he seems so ~loose~ according to the rumors.

:bshakeappears at the beginning of the video

I call bull-s%&t. That's not a woman that's a man who's just jealous LOL

I thought Shuya is the playboy? (that's what I heard or at least think I've heard)

VERY sophisticated choice of music hahah

i wouldnt be surprised if both of them were...
they are both very very popular with ayu fans.

this, yes. mind your business.

i seriously never thinks shuya or maro is gay, among all her dancers, for me that shows a lot is GOMI. by the "butt" pic he put up on his profile picture, that already shows a lot.

Honestly I've some problems discriminating straights and gays lately, guys could be anything ,there aren't rules or Clichès anymore that could help us discerning

from straight to gay in my mind:
Maro>Shuya>Gomi
pure imagination/speculation..but after having watched You&Me PV i truly hoped Maro was straight

whatever this bs is I don't believe it. It smells like bad gossip again, just like the nagase thing.

TBH I don't think that "oh because you're married, you're straight" anymore. But thats not the point of the topic.

On topic: I'm gonna ask some japanese friends and see if they know about this 'scandal' and how big it is.
*Death* if my sensei here knows about it.

I can't believe I just read this whole thread... It's weird. I've never seen this much gossip around Ayu.

To be honest, from looks and performances, I think Maro looks more like a playboy than Shuya. But who knows *shrug*

am I the only one to think that Ayu's life is such crazy and lonely that the only men she can date are the one that are part of her staff?
this must be sad

I really hope one day she'll get married and settle down.
Hopefully Maro is the one. She's always going on emotional rollercoasters.

inb4obligatoryA-MARRIAGEreference

A Marriage? Do want.

Which is also how I feel about the guy in your avatar.

A MARRIAGE, DVD; Blu-Ray; Blu-Ray+Coffee Mug; Blu-Ray+Roses that Ayu herself picked out from her pocket Garden in her apartment

I can see it.

and omgggg gurl the guy in my avatar. The best looking guy I have ever seen. Do you want a full image? I can PM it to you LOL! And he's mine. Stay away. HISSSSS!

I would buy A Marriage 22,3000CD+6,776,445DVD+napkin Ayu sneezed on for six billion yen and my first born child. Its an event not to be missed.

And please send me pics. You may not want to share, but I need images for the shower.

HAHAHAH! I'm dead! omg!

but you have to buy the DVD only edition. Comes with the making-of.

I can only find one, which is my avatar :/ idk who he is. Damn Asian boys on Tumblr looking all flawless (drink!!) and attractive but I have no idea what their names are...#storyofmylife but anyway, bigger picture looks way better. You can see his beautiful eyes ahhh <3

Don't need to know their names. Just need them to take their pants off.

And to stay on topic: I do want Ayu and Maro to have a Kim Kardashian marriage special, but without the happily never after, 72 days later.

I remember when E! was promoting that wedding so hard...then they didn't even last...it was kind of sad actually. I have a secret soft spot for the Kardashian sisters >> but ayu and maro 4ever x.o.x.o.

I join you, I cried when E!Italy shut down cause I couldn't enjoy Kardashian shows anymore!

Anyway just got my own Epiphany..LOVE-AGAIN..just got it, feel so odd the revelation of their relationship was already in the album title..

^I was thinking that before Ayu broke the Maro news, but I thought, "Nah, I'm just being silly!". Turns out I wasn't...

I remember watching the Kim wedding special on E! already knowing that the marriage had ended.

wait!!! how can theres no thread for this?? :P woaa so there were many press waiting for Ayu when she arrived too!! as always her reaction to the press :P and all her staffs were waiting for her

ps: what a great song they chose! xD

^Looks like a scan from again booklet, possibly?

yes, maybe

great, their married now.

No, they can't be married already........

I wouldn't be surprised if they were. They were wearing the same rings in Paris, but that doesnt mean anything.

It isn't uncommon for a lovey-dovey couple to wear the same piece of jewellery. And that rings are among the popular choices isn't surprising, I guess. ;)

Hasn't Ayu had those rings for like, ever? Not that I wouldn't be over the moon for Ayu if she were married to Maro, but I don't think they are just yet. Didn't he just start to finalize the divorce? Those pictures are probably much older. It could be a signal that they plan to get married ASAP?

promise ring.

Omg. This is so weird. I was in a real serious relationships which lasted around the time ayu and mannie were together. Then we all found out mannie/my ex was a jerk and the break up was really bad. But not long after, we both moved on to another... Both who were very close to us from the beginning.
And if those are actually promise rings...
Ayu could be my twin.

xD

this

what is the reporter asking?

those rings are just couple rings for couples i think~

I can't help but feel like Ayu is having a midlife crisis. I don't mean to reduce their relationship to that but that's how I see it. It isn't even dating Maro that made me think that way but the way Ayu is handling herself.

:laugh

besides with the PV's out we clearly see that Ayumi has broken up with Maro and is now dating random guy that was in the car with her.

Glad this mess is over, guess we can close the thread.
=)

^ They're already done? No...

^ I think he/she meant it sarcastically lol

I love your posts :roflmao

=)
thanks guys.
:shughug

I was like what they broke up already and the I watched the pvs lmao

:laugh

a very sexy MARO dancing :P (with Maki Goto and NAOTO ex ayu-dancer)

^ Maki Goto was just mad because Ayu snatched her weave, lightened it and wore it.

But damn, those two guys are just... I'll need a moment.

Remember Ninja Turtles 2 where they say "I'll get the ugly one. Which one's the ugly one?"

It's a good thing no one asked Michaelangelo to get the straight one. He'd be like "Ahhhhhhhhhh......... You mean the girl right?"

So I just read on FB... someone said Maro quit? I know that one set of pictures in Paris said "former" dancer, but seems like there's confirmation now?

Apparently he wasn't present for the CDL rehearsal which caused major changes in production.

http://www.sanspo.com/geino/news/201...060008-n1.html

^ maro is no longer a dancer for ayu?

^ Sounds like it. Like I said, he didn't show up for the rehearsal and they had to make some changes - and he wasn't sick.

Maro didn't have to get involved with ayu, if he really loved his career as a dancer. You can never mix relationships and business. Sadly, it never seems to work. :shakehead

Yeah in the end Maro will be the one who's going to sufferer ayu will always be ayu but he is just a dancer..

He was a dancer for other singers and productions before joining Ayu's troupe. I wonder if this could hurt his future chances of being a dancer, though.

In most cases it's a terrible idea to date your employer. Unless of course you're willing to find another job and quit the very day you start to consider the possibility of dating. The whole employer and employee dynamic will never bode well for a lasting relationship.

I think this whole thing is rather irresponsible. I don't believe the whole "but it's love" argument works. When neither of them seem ready to remove themselves from a situation where one has higher footing than the other.

oh.. so some fans who wished him to quit from ayu's troupe has been granted? then his last performance was on Hey3x special. poor him. but then now they can freely dating?

I don't think there's a quitting rumor yet, just a report that he was absent from a pretty important rehearsal. Where would they source this information anyway?

i wonder why?
And I wonder how they know?

He was present for the 27th, but not for the 28th, yeah?

^yep. i had hope that ayu and mannie could work out, but dating your back up dancer is not the way to a lasting relationship. :no

you cant really say that till they break up.
they have just as much a chance to die old grey and happy together.

This time he won't appear on the stage!
It seems he has just done some choregraphies...

lol, what celebrity relationships have ever worked out when they dated someone working for them? none that i know of.

in theory, they could last, but we all know they won't and that makes me sad. :(

Agreed, maro and ayu won't last for long, Lets be honest guys!! :yes

oh celebrity relationships.
i have little hopes for those. the ones that work are just flukes.

Ayu is too much of a D-I-V-A, only a gay man can handle her.

Well, Celine Dion and her manger... I think they have been married about 10 years now.
Leona Lewis and her manger... I do believe they are married, but they could be just dating... but that's been going on for years as well.
barbra streisand and her manger as well...

there are more, but my net is being weird and I cant google very well.

My point being was you cant say it wont last because YOU dont know.

Hard for it to end when it never started.

@TeamAyu2004: or you can just be bitter about relationships in general (my life sucks)

@saigodansu: do you think that nagase and ayu were a real couple?

realistically, ayu and maro probably won't last all of next year. its sad but thats reality.

Just say it, we want Timmy back on the spotlight. We all hated on him and now we noticed that he was harmless compared to maro. I think we all need some humble pie! :roflmao:roflmao:roflmao

Okay, it looks like there's more information out now.

Maro isn't going to be on stage, but he is now a 'choreographer' for Ayu instead. It also appears that it was Ayu's decision to remove him from the show.

mine does do! We can suck together! lol (although that could be really really wrong... lol)

I dont think it will last either, but to say its doomed, blah. who cares really.

18 years to be exact. :D

Where is this information coming from?

They posted a few more articles about an hour ago that say Ayu left a message on the fan site explaining what's going on with Maro.

http://www.daily.co.jp/newsflash/gos...05635019.shtml

NO. Reading articles back to 98 points to someone else being in her private life since b4 the 1st album was released. I think every relationship that has been shown to the fans was just for the attention of the fans and the press. No exceptions.

I just checked TA, and the articles are correct. Ayu does say that she "takes all the voices given to her seriously" (Google Translate, heh) and Maro will only be a choreographer from now on.

I really wish people would not jump to conclusions so suddenly about him quitting and so on.

Anyway, he's not leaving the troupe. I think it was probably a better decision to do this since they probably had some portions of the concert together.

does it mean she actually 'promoted' her bf? because choreographer is more than a dancer, right?

smart move. get him out of sight of haters, yet keeping him close to herself and being still involved in production.

^
It certainly seems that way...

Almost all of Ayu's male dancers are credited as choreographers as well as backdancers. This just means he's no longer a backdancer as well.

Awww, I really liked Maro as a dancer (esp the PCDL performance of Green). It's a shame he has to take a step back because of the fan reaction.

mi|kshake~

^ Yeah, unfortunately he is actually the best dancer she has.

isn't maro already a choreographer before the relationship? ever since CDL0809~~

so he's just no longer dancing...
hm, sadness...
MORE SHYUA!!! lol

Remember when he was the biggest problem we had with Ayu? 5-6 years can be a looooooong time hahaha!!

Pity he's had to take a step back. He's a good dancer. Hope that it's gonna keep things calm in Ayu's camp :)

No, he isn't! He is an evil part of an evil plan from evil Avex to make evil Ayu get more evil sales! It's very suspicious that he is just a choreographer now, they may be up to something evil!

Maro is Ayu's Yoko Ono.

Maro was the sexiest dancer in Ayu's team imo. I've never liked Shu-ya like everyone else :D

Wow, that's interesting that she made the decision to remove him from actually being on stage with her. I can understand why she did it though.

he may not want to dance anymore... he is getting kinda old, lol.
it could be a number of things that way this is happening...

although people saying how convenient? I dont get it... lol

well, Shinnosuke Motoyama (Ku's dancer) he's 40.

anyway, Ayu has too much dancers on stage, so more Shu-ya and ZIN!!

Ha ha ha, love it :D

Some of Ayumi's choreography is a bit iffy anyway so hopefully Maro can get some better routines going!

mi|kshake~
