Are some of those articles seriously saying Ayu is trying to promote her album and book with a scandal? At least that's what I got from google translate. lol "omg hamasaki ayumi is dating her dancer, must buy her new album NOW!"
It a lot of the news so far is focusing on them two instead of the event itself. This happened before, Ayu. When you made him your escort back in 2008. In HONG KONG as well. Have we learnt nothing?

Oh Ayu. I bet you just love to mess with the paparazzis right.
