[tabloid] Ayumi breaks up with boyfriend...?

[RubbishMui]

I read this in am730 newspaper today (Nov 25). Article is in chinese cause newspaper is from HK.

It said Ayu's new dark hair look was supposed to represent a new beginning for her. It also said that Ayu was spotted partying with friends without Tomoya (is that his name? I can't remember).

I'm not sure which magazine it is because the name written is in chinese and I dunno if it's a chinese name for a japanese mag.

I wonder if it's true...

Ayu had a boyfriend?

[UvegotMail]

yes she did, since forever and a day.

I dunno, I figured they would for some reason. It's really none of my business, I don't really care, but that kinda sucks to hear.

Can i have a translation of the article please? (anyone o_o;; )
And um...that's really sad....maybe that's why she wrote the very new styled, "B&D", and "pride", the saddest song in a long time..

It's from a HK paper, 99.99% chance that it isn't true.

Pretty much. It's like today they broke up and the next day they get married.

Here's a translation:

Ayumi Hamasaki, who always appears with a different hair colour, has went back to natural black hair. (Chinese magazine name) believes Ayumi's new hair colour has something to do with her relationship with Nagase Tomoya. Reporter says, "Ayumi's new hair is said to be related to work, but the truth is that they have broken up again. The new hair colour is a sign of a new beginning." Last year, the two of them were seen together having a happy time. However, for the past time, she was seen with only her co-workers. She was seen last week hanging out at a "gay bar" with her friends. Nagase was no where to be seen. Record company personal says, "Ayumi Hamasaki's recent sales haven't been as good as before. If she doesn't continue competing, her spot will be taken by (don't know her name in english) or Koda Kumi."

So true. And plus the title of the article says "Rumor Ayumi and Nagase broken up"

And after reading that article again, all I can say is that's only a belief. Just because a reporter "sees" a celebrity not hanging out with their gf/bf doesn't mean they've broken. And I also think that because of the newspaper repeatingly say that they two of them have broken up, it's becoming less and less believable. Either way, news article are worthless without proof, especially true when it comes to celebrity news.

I agree, just because they didn't go out together doesn't mean they have split up - lots of couples don't do everything together, some have separate friends. I love the way tabloid writers think: "they're not out together, they must have split!", "she's playing a pregnant woman in a film, but look at the size of her, she must really be pregnant!" [that one was a real thought, it was one actress playing a pregnant woman in a film, but she had padding on, and was never pregnant, but that was the conclusion of one tabloid writer ] Tabloid writers are not very smart

yeah, its called being in a healty relationship! ayu can't be with her b/f ALL the time. tabloids are so funny.

[zeroshin888]

I hope not, because it would be a real sad thing for both Ayu and Tomoya. I mean, they've been together since forever and I hope Tomoya would be Ayu's husband, not some other random guy... lol. I don't know. I really don't find chinese articles trustworthy....

If you want a translation, i read the article and it's basically the same things as RubbishMui said.. so yeah.

[Larisa-chan]

Rumors about them breaking up have been going on for years >.>

[Raleigh]

Pretty much. I agree with the points you've made.

uhhh yes. lol. They have been going out since Ayu was a teenager I believe. They have been engaged for several years now.

As for now, I would say this is rumor and not news. Although her going to the Mr. and Mrs. Smith thing alone makes me wonder. As far as I know, she wasn't there for any work related reason, so it does seem a bit odd to me that she would be alone.

[benslave4u]

Man these news paper people are soo bored with their life and they cannot come up with new stories??? But yeah it's totally not true because they have been saying that they are having serious relationship problem for years!!

It's not like they have to do every little thing together or be tied together 24/7. They can do their different things. Nobody can force them to watch a movie together.

Besides, if this has been going on for years, but they're still saying "Hamasaki and Nagase may have broken up blah blah blah", then it's obvious that they're still together.

If they were right years ago, they'd have stopped posting articles like this. But they're continuing to. Which obviously means they haven't broken up yet.

Oh I agree. I just think that it is a bit odd that they don't seem to go out anywhere together. They've been together for years, yet its rare to actually see them together.

They are smart enough to keep their private life private.

Yeah, what I meant is that in this day and age it is very odd for a celebrity couple to not really be seen together - it is refreshing. Hopefully they really do care about their relationship enough to keep it private and hopefully the reason they haven't gotten married yet and are rarely seen together isn't because they are having problems or something.

[UvegotMail]

..does Ayu live in gay bars or what? lol Every time they "break up" she's in a freakin gay bar- and of course, they "break up" every single week.
