And honestly, each time she has a release lately, she has some kind of news item that shocks people. Starting with Love songs, continuing with Party Queen, and now again. And she needs it this time.

I don't want to be a downer or whatever, but Im starting to believe the critics now... it's really sad. But, it's too suspicious.

I find it very suspicious as well.

We really don't know it all. His blog entry is very brief, it doesn't go into any details what-so-ever.

There are things missing/that we don't know.

Well the Yahoo article is very clear that she states she's "Seriously Dating" Maro.

I think it's just a coincidence just like the other times that we've also gotten news. (her ear issues... we knew something was going on and she had the examination at some point around that time she announced it, the marriage... which happened because she was in the process of releasing singles for a brand new album in 2010 after Rock'n'Roll Circus, the divorce which ended up *somehow* being a result of the earthquake in 2011... etc.) It could also be the media choosing to reveal it now after having 'confirmed' the rumor. If we get more 'breaking news stories' in the next 4 months of releases, then it may be VERY suspicious but for now I think people are just reading too much into when things happen.

It's not like again has a chance of getting #1 anyway. Isn't it up against two EXILE bests and two YUI bests?

Life's too depressing if you're always suspicious.

Where can I watch the YOU & ME making of?

you're not alone. I'm also not happy about this kind of news poping out when she has some releases. if she needs promotion, why won't she just go and sing on TV?!! I feel really annoyed about it.

anyways, I hope she'll marry him, get pregnant and shut up about her private life for at least some years. sorry for rudeness, I'm just fed up.

Yeah, but it's still just a Yahoo article. Tabloids are tabloids.

Waiting to see what Ayu herself will say on TA, that's the only reliable source I think.

[Foyuki]

plz retire and have a baby .

[kendelle]

I thought Maro was gay xD But I don't really follow the dancers that much lol

Well, good luck to them, hopefully for Ayu this works out

[elvesword]

wow.

[Mai82Go]

I think he was married? I hope he is at least divorced now. Ayu and Maro can now join the Amazing Race as Dating Divorcees. Ha!

[Coelacanth]

PR.

Are you really blaming this on Ayu? Even if she 'shut up' about her private life, the media would definitely not miss out on the opportunity to bring it up.

I don't think she can really control these kinds of things... they just happen. Since most of the years recently are spent touring, the only times that anything is ever really 'announced' or ends up being 'breaking news' is when she's not touring which also tends to be the periods of time where she releases as of late.

The ear thing, the hand injury, the marriage, the divorce, and now the serious relationship. They all have happened within the same time of the year, the most important sales period of the year. The end of the year represents the busiest shopping season, sales going on, etc.

I dont doubt the ear thing and the hand injury, and the marriage was so surprising I thought it was fake, but I accepted that as real, and the divorce... well everyone saw that coming. But now this, at the same time of the year... something's wrong.

Honestly, Ayu is still kind of popular, but is by no means that one would actually care really if her article was printed in the tabloids. First, the people who read the tabloids don't give a damn about Ayu anymore, they are interested in AKB and Johnny's exploits. Secondly, I dont honestly believe that the tabloids would make that big of a deal over her "seriously dating" her back up dancer because it honestly wouldnt sell as news. Dekichatta Kekkon, okay it will be big news.

If you look at Yahoo website for this news article, all the comments are negative. There is not one good comment about her, and they all are saying "who the eff cares?"

I dont even want to say this way, trust me. I'm not trying to make a fight or whatever, it's just... I'm kind of tired of this happening at the exact same time of year. It's a repeat now, and when I read one of the comments, it's exactly how I felt: "So now every year end we get to look forward to a new relationship from Hamasaki Ayumi. Oh, great -.-"

It quotes the TA entry itself.

Yahoo Japan is not a tabloid site. Most, if not all Japanese, regard all news reported by Yahoo to be real and validated.

Anyways, really guys I dont like conspiracy theories, and if you know my posts, I defend Ayu to the end. But honestly, this is too much to accept as 100% real. It feels too much like a marketing move... And I feel really bad for feeling this way, but yeah... I'm so shocked anyways.

[TeamAyu2004]

oh man, conspiracy theories all around...

anyways, I do not think this is a desperate attempt at trying to get a number 1 since it clearly wont work. Why cant she just announce that is is in LOVE again?

I think everything points to this stuff anyways... You and Me, Song 4 U, albums Love again.

can I call it or what...

Dang, there's over 300 comments already on Yahoo! Though I'm not surprised really if most of them don't really care. It's probably mostly people who are just like "Oh. She still sings?" when they see Ayu's name. Do Ayu fans even comment on those kinds of sites to begin with?

[me0wie]

is there a need to think so deep and negatively into this? it's her life. i'm going to just take her word for it, and be happy for her

This exactly. Let's be happy for her and not think anything into it that's not there.

[Mai82Go]

Even if Japan doesn't care, TA obviously does. I mean, even when she divorced I can't remember not being able to access TA.

I think it is not that wrong of them to announce it, before it is in the tabloid. I wonder how this will affect the PV's and concerts, though. Too much involvment of Maro in romantic situations with Ayu - there might be fans who won't like that.

[TeamAyu2004]

I know I wont like it...

Maro is not part of my faves when it comes to dancers.

you know it just accrued to me, what happens when she announces she is having a baby?
It's just another one of those stupid little stunts? She hasn't had a number 1 anything in 2 years... She's just doing it to gain sales...
sometimes I wonder why people would be fans of such a shallow person.
