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?
