I may be a horrible person for saying this, but I'm not at all surprised. I hope she stays strong, though. Perhaps she will find love in the future?

I don't think so... I think her country is her happiness... thats why she chose it.

I wish to inform you theat i, ayumi hamasaki, instructes my lawyer to file for divorce on my behalf in the united states today.
At the time of our marriage, my husband and I decided to live in the united states. However,approximatetely two months later eastern japan was struck by a huge earthquake. As a result of this tragedy, I felt an overwhelming need to stay in my home county, and was forced to leave my husband alone for a long time.
My husband and I have made every effort to reach a compromise;
However, as time has passed we have grown apart. I no longer feel the same desire to move to the united states. Instead I feel that I must ask myself what I can continue to do for my country, here in japan. This has eclipsed the future I had originally envisaged with my husband, and it is for this reason that I have made this difficult decision.
It was with a grateful, but heavy heart that I read all the messages I received form my fans and the press congratulating me on my 1st wedding anniversary at the beginning of this month. It was then that I realized I had to face up to the inevitable truth that I had been avoiding.
At present, my husband is in los angeles pursuing his career as an actor in Hollywood. I would ask that my fans to respect his privacy and refrain from sending him messages or contacting him to ask for comement.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

I'm quite shocked and surprised at this. But I had a bit of a feeling on what really happened with Ayu and Mannie...

The fact is this: the marriage happened before the big earthquake. But when that big earthquake and tsunami occurred, that really got things concerning. And when there was a lot of backlash over her recent actions, that really kind of made us either speechless or complaining.

I did have a feeling that anything could really happen with the marriage, and in the worst case (something like this) a divorce could happen. Especially with the fact that these two are actually apart by an ocean, and with the aftermath of the earthquake, and the different careers that they are pursuing (Ayu in Japanese pop while Mannie in Hollywood business) that dream marriage might not end up successfully.

Hopefully these two do well, but it's safe to say Ayu's marriage is over. But over my previous records, we've seen that in the entertainment business marriages and divorces are quite common. The actions that we do can affect our marriage. (And for those people who are considering about marrying somebody, especially the youngsters here at AHS, you have to be careful on what couple you want to pick, because interests can be a factor in either a good or bad relationship...)

(It's also safe to say that the Ayaka-Hiro Mizushima marriage has lasted longer than the Ayu-Mannie marriage, yet Ayaka and Hiro actually married in early 2009 [almost three years and still ongoing!] while Ayu-Mannie's marriage only actually happened at the very beginning of last year, only lasting a year and a half a month...)

^^^You're not a horrible person for saying you weren't surprised. I think we all had our doubts, but wanted to support Ayu anyway. That's how I felt, I'm glad she was happy about her decision, and I left it at that. However, it's disgusting to see people saying how happy they are that they're divorced now. Nothing about a divorce is happy.

[kamikaze-girl]

I feel so sad for Ayu! It's a hard time to go through...We have to support her and not bash Mannie!! It's their decision and we have to accept it! Hope Ayu is fine....

[mi|kshake]

Awww, that's so sad - I never though Ayumi would get divorced - feel kinda disappointed for them both. Wish her and Mannie could have made it work.

mi|kshake~

[emi♡]

ugh. Im going back to bed.

...the stuff that goes through her head...

[muzik_luvvx]

Ayu's a strong woman. She will be fine. She took a chance, and unfortunately it didn't work out the way she wanted it to. You live and you learn.

[ayu_ready?]

whenever I commented ayu-mannie case everytime saying they won't be together for long people just poured out their all hatred towards me saying I was hating him for no reason, huh
when I was just feeling that she needed someone else, idk, sound selfish & stupid, but, like, really. I think they both are too different

seeing I was right, i don't know if I should be happy or sad, but as long as she's happy, I hope she can find someone good & hot, huh. honestly, part of me screams ***** yeaaah!* inside because I was never fond of him

but on the other hand...my assumptions are probably it was that passionate love that dies quickly. maybe.

and I DO want her married

[AyumiSEASONS]

Honestly I didn't see it coming but I really hope the best comes out of this for both Ayu and Mannie and they can remain friends.

and as far as everyone is "being happy" and saying it wasn't going to last blah blah blah - you have no idea what it takes out of someone to even put effort into a long distance relationship. Dont judge til you've done it yourself.

[Violently Happy]

I knew it would happen, so I am not surprised at all... It's both of there faults, so people who are saying Mannie is dumb and blaming him. I see no reason for it.

I've been into long-distance relationship and it lasted for 2 years. it must have been the saddest, toughest period of my life, and it ended in failure, but not all distance relationships end badly.
so it takes courage, determination, sincerity, will and trust. and TIME
when one of this fails, it all comes down like in a domino game...

[Coelacanth]

Why are people so shocked? The circumstances from the beginning were terrible! Anyone who has ever been in a failed long distance relationship knows exactly what's up.

Instead, all I got at the time the marriage was announced was: "ITS NUN OF UR BUSINESS!!!!!!!11111 WHY CANT U BE HAPPY FOR HERRRRR!!!!!!11" No fan is obligated to support Ayu's decisions in her personal life, nor do we think we have the power to influence any of her decisions. It's just that people are going to have certain life experiences that allow us to form particular attitudes about things...

that's very true.
I had one for about a year and a half... definitely one of the saddest and toughest periods of my life. Mine ended in failure as well~
But it gets better...
we will all heal

Ayu fighting~~

[Polyrhythm]

Nobody should be surprised. Thank god she didn't have kids with that guy, whatshisface. Hope she finds someone better who will, iunno....live with her?

[PoetGirl]

Thats her personal life so I won't go too deep in it. I trust her decision and we'll be by her side no matter what.

[gogirlanime]

I was never sure what I thought of Mannie, sometimes I liked him and sometimes I didn't. But we all know Ayu is a smart woman and she must have married him because she loved him. I feel so bad for her, this is so sad. Lets support her in her decision she knows what she is doing.

Let's not turn this into a Mannie-bashing fest she married him so that tells you something. I saw this coming with the distance thing when they mentioned it.

She must be so heart-broken

I will pray and support you Ayu!!
