It was rumored that the real reason Ayu divorced Mannie was that photobook. Perhaps any form of media that she deems sub-par to her own work as ground for divorce. If that's the case, it was nice not knowing you, Mr. Hamasaki-Bodkin.
Seriously, though. I read somewhere that he also changed his name on Facebook to Whatever-His-First-Name-Is Hamasaki Bodkin. That is pretty cute. I wonder if its legal or just them being cute?
