LOL at that choice of photo. She's like, "I don't know wtf I'm doing, either!"

News outlets always choose the weirdest photos.

I'm just going to ignore these news, obviously they don't know what's happening either. And that photo...

she looks so old there

The other photo they used to choose all the time was her D-snap 1 LOVE hair.

Yeah she looks tragic in that photo. Lol.

Actually, I think they just translated a bunch of the original articles and came to this one.

The originals also mention a visa of sorts.

"she announced their split in July 2007, around the time she was releasing a single"
As if there was a single day when she was NOT around the time of a release, tour or any other thing that requires promotion.
Well, if they want to say bad things about you, they will, regardless of how perfect you may be. And Ayumi is certainly not. I just stopped caring, let's hope this will be a happy and lasting relationship. : P

Failed to defame as I'm finding the picture super cute.

I vote that pic for a Trollyumi icon.

OMG, The picture is terrible !
The Vietnamese news also reported her engagement with some beautiful pictures !

The title is "Japanese Diva Ayumi Hamasaki will have the second marriage."

"her mother has advised her not to return home to wed in case she splits again."

Mother knows best.

is this true? wonder where did they get that.

if its true than I know at least she isnt making the whole decision herself and her mother does care about her well being

Well, her mother did go to LA earlier this year.... I guess we know why now.

OMG that picture of her.. =__=''
ah they got the news from apple daily HK newspaper which always writes nothing good about Ayu~

best photo ever lol



And lol about the visa. But how did they know what kind of visa she was issued?

Lol I'm dying

For the first time the Vietnamese reporters are writing something nice... The last article of her and Mannie's divorce, they titled it "Japanese Diva left her husband" in a very disrespectful and pitiful manner.

Well, I did read it and this part was confusing a bit.

Did this really happen, like was there any news saying this in the Japanese press?

^ yea i read about that too.
but i think it's not true at all. it's just a made up or rumor.
the most important thing is that ayu and mannie have remained as good friends already.

I think people have discussed about that here, the tabloid talked about it,its like Ayu's lawyer made manie sign an agreement and they stated Ayu paid him a huge amount to not reveal anything. I dont know how far the truth is about this, but it is not impossible that Ayu did it,who knows Mannie going to talk about their sex live or else on the media


edit: oh yea they seemed like still friends now, Ayu even commented on Mannie's Fb status recently, lol,thats funny

Oh is that so :) Well let's not stir up this issue again since it was already discussed before. I apologize for that.

He should (or maybe she :p) propose during CDL, or if he was unsure they could wait with the annoucement and stage another "unexpected" one for fans :p That would be a shock and no.1 news, engagement instead of New Year's count down :p

that would be mixing work with personal life, again....

I don't like the photo they chose too. Thanks for the news btw. =)

omfg LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

I dont know about their FB. May I get a link? Or is it private?

ayu: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php...677897&fref=ts

Ayu's private but not Mannie,you can add him

Not her most flattering picture though :no

:laugh Agreed.

Once more agree! Mom is mom and she always knows the best to your children.

But I still think it has a little bit of publicity in this game too.

Wahlao! :D
Apple Daily HK always talk rubbish.

(Singlish strikes)

I almost spit out my Sunny D.

new album title: Love is forever xD hell no!!

......chills.
"TRUE LOVE" coming february 2014. no no no.
Ayu let's leave the "love" out of your album titles for a while now, shall we? don't do like kana nishino, purizu.


I think that all this story is pretty real, her love and engagement I mean. Still she used it to gain some popularity again, you can't really blame her, she's a popstar, it's what she's supposed to do.
publicity stunt? nope
used as if it was one? heeeell, yeah
