I'm not fluent in Japanese, but the gist of the news segment from what I can gather is that Ayu was spotted in NYC with another man and they bought a ring together - something along those lines(their animation of the other guy as a gaijin rapper is kind of funny^_^). Anyone that can give a more detailed translation would be appreciated.
I'm not sure about the validity of this or not but it is the first time that I can remember a break up rumor for them being reported on TV.

Whether this ends up just being a rumor or not, it is at least interesting.
