Ayumi's ex: It was an amicable break-up
September 12, 2007

TWO months after breaking up with J-pop queen Ayumi Hamasaki, Japanese actor-singer Tomoya Nagase has finally broken his silence.

'It's a relief,' he said in response to media queries while promoting his new TV drama in Tokyo last week. It was his first public appearance since splitting with Ayumi, and he was reportedly in a good mood, laughing easily. Both are 29.

He insisted it was a peaceful break-up, not the result of a huge fight. They were together for seven years before Ayumi announced the split in mid-July.

In a separate interview published in the latest issue of Non-no magazine, Tomoya said he and Ayumi have great chemistry together because they are such polar opposites. But their vast differences later drove them apart.

'We had many problems that we kept suppressed. We had been together for so long, but there were times when our relationship collapsed,' he said.

'Love can help repair these cracks and keep two people together, but some parts are hard to repair once they collapse.

'This is a mutual decision.'

See, dam ppl who think Ayu/Nagase was stupid to break up. And double dam to pp who spread false rumours
YAY!!

[bondingo]

At least it was mutual, so neither of them were as devastated as they may have been to hear the other no longer loved them. We already knew it was mutual from Ayu though.

im glad to know that everything seems to be okay between the two of them, but reading this it doesnt seem like they'll get back together...
seven years... thats a lot

thank you for the article

[Luv ~Venus~]

Aww....so Ayumi was the who broke it off. I still hard to imagine that those cute couples with a "great chemistry", argued....it seemed like they were always happy with each other! Hmm...

[Qt Mashi]

lol xD
I think she actually does go to gay bars, I mean, they must be 'in' if they're in a fashionable district (which is probably gay as well) xD

And I'm sure they fought over dogs xD

[taskinillusion]

Well that's good to read. Will set aside stupid rumors anyways.

Actually he should be less worried with his girlfriend going to gay bars, but if it was the other way around...

I don't think they would fight over something like going to a gay bar. It's perfectly normal for someone like Ayu to go to gay bars. haha. And I thought she admitted that she went there to celebrate her friends birthday party so it's not a rumor.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

i swear every single article about them mentions them both being 29, lol. thanks tho, but i figured it was mutual

[ll moments ll]

i can't wait for Utahime! XD

His official statement is quite eloquent

'Love can help repair these cracks and keep two people together, but some parts are hard to repair once they collapse.
