There is this thread about it. I think they had a news program about it too. Hide (who we knew from Ayu's troupe in 2005ish or so) transitioned about 2 or 3 years ago in Thailand and is now known as Lico. It seems like Ayu loooooves her though! Lico also worked with Namie after departing Ayu's troupe after AT06 or AT07. Oh, apparently Lico also choreographed for AKB48 and SMAP!
