Ayumi Hamasaki and KAT-TUN / LANDS's Jin Akanishi Share a Rumoured Relationship
 

After ending her relationship with Tomoya Nagase, rumours about Ayumi Hamasaki dating Tomoya Nagase's junior, Jin Akanishi (a member of KAT-TUN, a Japanese boy band formed under Johnny & Associates [Johnny's]) has been on the spread.

It was reported that Jin Akanishi was seen cohabiting with Japanese model, Nishiyama Maki, before the rumour about him and Ayumi Hamasaki broke out. However, the relationship between Ayumi Hamasaki and Jin Akanishi seemed to be a known secret in the Japanese entertainment field.

When interviewed, a friend of Ayumi Hamasaki denied the rumoured relationship and thinks that since Jin Akanishi respects Tomoya Nagase a lot, it is not possible for him to fall in love with his "ex-sister-in-law".

However, an experienced reporter thinks that this rumoured relationship may be Ayumi Hamasaki's intention of using Jin Akanishi as a sensationalizing "tool". This is because, in the past, while dating Tomaya Nagase, whenever Ayumi Hamasaki had got a new released single or album, there would also be relevant rumours about her beau at the same time.

Despite so, the media too thinks that with both parties being a popular figure in the Japanese entertainment field, it is not surprising if both of them develop feelings for one another along the way.

OK this's totally o_O o_O o_O on every single level but I saw this in the Yahoo Singapore page & being a Johnny's fangirl (still) , I think this's really ridiculous & shows just how disrespectful the local media can be when comes to jpop sometimes :o

For the record , Akanishi's 6 years ayumi's junior & to me , I really cannot picture both of them together at all LOL

Oh man, I hope that is crap. This is from Yahoo!? I would have never even thought the two would cross paths.

first tamayama now jin...maybe they randomly pick a guy to gossip with ayu

yeah it's taken from Yahoo S'pore & me too , I never thought the media can link both of them together D:

this's really dumb :

oh sure , if it's a known secret then how come I only know about it now ? :rolleyes

if so I would have known a long time ago in the KAT-TUN fandom zzzz

^I agree!!! The Johnny fangirls would go crazy! Yet, I doubt this has ever been mentioned in any Japanese magazine.

Oh man, if this is true, which it probably isn't, Ayumi is one heck of a badass!!! :laugh

i prefer her with tamayama than with jin

this is ridiculous! use Ayu's name to make more money

the local media sucks big time when reporting about jpop stuff

they only focus on the negative s-it as compared to chinese & korean pop grr :eviltongu

but yeah the KAT-TUN fandom will go crazy especially with the gazillion fangirls of Akanishi xD

Funny if it is true. :) And hey, he is hot and who cares about age? Good for Ayu I say. :) I doubt this is true though. Also from what I know Jin prefers foreign girls or at least halfs.

haha :laugh

he's not my fave in the group but I do like his voice in KAT-TUN & in LANDS

& yeah he's the wannabe american in Johnny's xD & I think he's supposedly going out with BENI ? :P

it will be funny if Akanishi tries to teach ayumi some American jokes & etc , that will be epic xD

Just a rumour, I suppose. Jin and Ayu, I cannot imagine them together. They just don't click in my eyes. Damn, I can see all these crazy Akanishi Fans bashing Ayu. Great, just great.

...
I kind of like the idea that Ayu has a Boy Toy, though. A guy a few years younger than her, that would be really cool. haha....

HAHAHAHAHHAHA.....
i'm a big fans of ayu and jin
but i even can't imagine them together... LOL

but if it's true, WOW... that's called SUPER DUPER STAR COUPLE... :love

Well she's been single for two years? It's strange for someone like Ayu to remain single for so long and that is bound to get the tongues wagging... I am curious though to know if after all she has a boyfriend which she has never let the media know about.

Actually I think it's not strange at all. With a busy schedule like Ayu has, it's a wonder she manages to have any private life at all. I also imagine it must be quite hard to find a nice guy. I mean she is Ayumi Hamasaki - that probably scares most men away, so a celeb guy would be best for her. In that case I think Tomoya had been perfect for her.

What also pisses me off is that this article says Jin wouldn't go out with Ayu out of respect for Tomoya. Who cares about Tomoya? He's not with Ayu anymore, they broke up 2 1/2 years ago and he's been having a new girl straight after the break up....wth are these gossip-writers thinking?

I hope it's just rumor. I want Ayu to be single of all time :)

I don't believe it! I'm sure it's a fake...

Is it April Fool's Day?! Stop making this kind of stupid news on AYU~!!

Word.

In a sense Ayu's a victim of her own success when it comes to dating cos seriously how intimidating wld it be if your gf owned her own fashion company and lived in a 5 story mansion with it's own elevator!

Unlikely that the rumour is true but even if it is, what's the big deal about a 6yr age diff? It's not as if she's old enough to be his auntie.

i saw the xin.sg credits on the article... hence the source of this rumor is unrealiable

guess they ran out of anything to write.

Really? Ayu & Jin?
It's this a joke?

Ayumi Hamasaki dating Tomoya Nagase's junior, Jin Akanishi
What means "Tomoya Nagase's junior".... sounds like, he is his son.. but I don't think, he is... right. I don't know Jin Akanishi.. so I have no idea about it.

However, an experienced reporter thinks that this rumoured relationship may be Ayumi Hamasaki's intention of using Jin Akanishi as a sensationalizing "tool". This is because, in the past, while dating Tomaya Nagase, whenever Ayumi Hamasaki had got a new released single or album, there would also be relevant rumours about her beau at the same time.

What the...! How stupid can you get!! -.-''

And this is very offensive too! I really hate tabloids. They always write such stupid, stupid things! -.-''

^As if Ayu would need to have relationship rumours to sell. When did that ever help her career? :rolleyes

*lol* He's in the same agencyas Nagase and debuted a long time after him, which makes Tomoya his senior. They are big on Senpai-Kouhai relations in Johnny's.

Another fake article. I really do wonder if Ayu has a secret crush on anyone though. :smitten

felt so embarrassed that this piece of news came from yahoo singapore. I am not believing it since its a rumour. But whoever ayu is with, i am happy and thats it.

:roflmao

yeah you don't say & as expected , everyone in the KAT-TUN fandom is going LOLLLL over it xD

I expect Ayu to tell TA, when she found a new love. Didn't she promise to do that? As expected, all the KAT-TUN Fans are like "ew, I hate her. Plastic Surgery...blabla" I wonder why I keep up with it....it hurts me as I love Ayu and like KAT-TUN. *argh* Stupid Rumour!

lol you can't blame Jinnifer's fans for being posessive of their man :laugh

I remembered when he posed for that naughty/raunchy an.an shoot , some of the comments I read were worst than what I have read/seen from this rumour

^being posessive and being not happy with it is one thing. Calling Ayu names, ugly and old is different. It just makes me angry when they bash her.

that's true , she didn't do anything wrong to begin with

such people will get their butt bite back in time to come :o

LOL I don't think it's true, but Ayu deserves a boy younger than her. :lech

This is definitely not true. Jin Akanishi is going out with me! :mhappy

my eyes where like O.O when i saw the tittle of the thread...

man they always suprise me with all of these rumours XD lol

I thought this was funny. :laugh
I wonder who's going to be the next guy she'll be paired with.

:laugh

He's like going out with 1/2 of Japan xD but yeah linking him with ayumi that's just D:

Hah...hah...Whatever happened to him and Crystal Kay? Last time I heard, they were dating too.

And why would Ayu date Jin anyway? Surely by now she's learned her lesson about those Johnny's boys.

I know that Akanishi sang Wonder & Helpless Night with Crystal but them going out ? Nah I don't think so but I heard rumours that he's going out with BENI xD

I wonder who will call the shots if ayumi & Akanishi ever decides to go out together in real life LOLLL

LOL. I'm just kinda laughing now yeah.

I don't even know where to begin lulzing at this :laugh

Oh dear 0_0 that's just weird on many levels....
Jin is hot but he kinda creeps me out so I'm glad it's just a rumour... plus he's a bit young for ayu :P

At the Johnny's CDL, Nagase and Akanishi looked friendly and had their arms around each other. So if there is any truth - at all - to this rumor, obviously there is no animosity between them.

Yeah, Nagase is rumoured to be engaged to Aibu Saki anyway. I doubt he'd stand in the way of Ayu dating any of the Johnny's.

Ayu is probably better off with someone younger than her, so she can wear the pants in the relationship 'cos come on, she's AYU.

^Like I I wrote earlier, I don't think Nagase has any say in who Ayu's dating, it's not his business anymore.

After all these "No way" and "Unh...no" responses, I would find it super funny, if it turns out to be true. That would shock the Akanishi-deserves-better-Camp to the core.

would be nice if they could be together.. LOL

Hahaha, you're right! I keep reading comments like Akanishi only likes hot girls blah blah blah. Well, I'm pretty certain Akanishi has seen those Wacoal ads.

Whoever it is, I hope Ayu finds a new boyfriend. She deserves to be happy.

Its the way these articles are written and translated that make them seem so fake, not the actual content itself sometimes.

Blehh, I would totallybe fine if it was Ayu with Kame or Koki, but not Thwomp head Jin

Wacoal ads??? Hahaha, he must be drooling over ayu in lingerie....

Anyway, the guy is too young for ayu.... it's prolly fake anyway....

^^that made me lol.

But then all those Kame Fans would bash Ayu. Koki doesn't seem to have any Fans, so he would be the safest bet. :( But to be honest, I really don't see any KAT-TUN member as a potential Ayu Partner. I think if Ayu must choose a Johnnys she should take one half of Kinki Kids. (Personally I would prefer Tsuyoshi...haha)

Jin isn't a good boyfriend for Ayu..Akanishi like a hot girls lol
but, true or false.. Ayu need a boyfriend, she should feel very alone ;-;

Ahh.. I understand. I didn't knew it.. because I don't know him. Maybee I should google him. :D

Jin?? She's not really desperate at this point,please XD
best tabloïd ever [+1]

BRB LAUGHING FOREVER.

it's such a weird couple. omg lol

HE IS WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY TOOOOOO YOUUUUNGGGGGGGGG for ayu. this rumor is ridiculous

Um, he's only six years younger, right? That's certainly not waaaaayy too young, I don't think, hah. But yes. This is just too...random to be true. And, I am really glad it can't be. XD

lol if Ayu was with Koki....that would just be the funniest thing ever and I would truly believe that she has actually lost her mind.

:roflmao

JOKER & ayumi pairing = epic xD

What's this? Another possible tabloid story? Ugh... I don't even know if there is even true evidence or not on this possible relationship...

I had to look up a picture of this guy before I laughed... but no, this is totally laugh-worthy. He's almost as pretty as Ayu!

I hope that when one of these rumors is true and she really has a new guy, it'll be a rocker or something, not a fuzz-for-brains boyband member.

^Nagase is a boy band member, too.

Haha, I love your reaction.

Poor Koki, getting no love here. I think he's a cutie. But a no-go for Ayu, that's true.

Koki is like the sweetest guy around despite his 'I want to kill you' kinda image xD

but yeah if ayumi were to go out with anyone in KAT-TUN , that will be o_o but she & Kame might make a good pairing xD

^ Yeah if she could pull Kame away from his drunken drag queen makeouts. :)

:roflmao

they might share concert costumes too you know xD especially since Kame wore a kimono when he did 1582 live onstage last year LOLLL

but I don't know , I really can't see ayumi going out with anyone in KAT-TUN . The senpai's like V6 onwards , maybe since they're probably more her type

KAT-TUN ? nah :P

^ As long as she leaves Arashi alone, I'm fine even with her being with Koki! lol

LOL~~
if ayu with Koki, i will laugh 7 days 7 nights...
huahuahuahaha.....

Oh, don't even start on this, I cannot imagine the hate that would happen then - on the other hand Arashi Fans seem more mature. But generally speaking I have a feeling that most Johnnys Fans prefer their idols without girlfriends. :rolleyes Weren't there people killing themselves when Kimura Takuya got married?

Ok this just totally dominated my dreams last night @_@

Even though I only had a hour of sleep

I dreamt that it was..a-nation and Ayu went backstage and someone just came and grabbed her! It's not Jin but Kame :roflmao......Ah...I need to sleep, so the dream can continue

But I just love rumors like these ♥ The things it does for my imagination~

Yep, "Jyani-Kui", that's what they call girls who like to date JE guys. Kimura's wife is always in the top 10 of the yearly list of most disliked women in entertainment. Unfortunate.

But I doubt Ayu's in a steady relationship with any guy right now.

yeah ayu leave johnny guys alone lol u have a chance to date a hot korean guy called kim jaejoong :laugh

I want to believe it :D

This is what I'd call "TRUE RUMOURS" because right from the very first glance at the tiltle you know that it is nothing but a sensationalizing tabloid rumour.

I'm an Akanishi's fangirl and certainly I know Jin would never date anyone like Ayumi Hamasaki, not because of anything that you have said but simply Jin prefer a normal, mixed girl with hot body and obviously, Lady H is not at all like that.

^ that could just be him marketing himself.

if he says he likes normal looking girls, normal looking girls are more likely to be attracted to him and/or support his music. if he said he only dates rich beautiful older women i doubt it would go over well, haha.

but anyway, i hope this isn't true.
i'm not a fan of jin's personality/the way he presents himself to the public.

haha yes me too & that goes for my younger sister as well xD

I mean I like his voice & all but his image's ugh , it makes you want to punch him straightaway xD

I have the same thought too. Clever Johnny.

Roflmao. :D I can't believe these kind of stuff. Of course it´would be perfect if Ayu had a man in her life again but these kind of rumours are pretty funny. I don't believe this at all. :D

Isn't Ayu into the butch, manlier type anyway?

Nagase, for example. Well, he's as butch as Japanese men go xD
