[AyumiAi]

whyyyy....... omg why....... ayuuuuu nooo just when u could be cool and youthful you get married again... Y____Y omgaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad i know this sounds bad but he's not attractive.... guh... I guess just an image of some college student my brothers age marrying Ayumi Hamasaki the empress of pop just doesnt sit nicely with me -__- hate on me if you will but WHYYY guh at least Mannie was a model, but at the same time he's not using her to propell himself so thats good but still... i dunno just not guh! gunna pretend never read this and just enjoy the music

[panda♥]

you know
i'm thinking they were engaged far before this announcement.
back on November 23rd Christophe was tagged in multiple pictures with ayu @ the Cartier party.



the bottom middle pic is kind of a give away.

She has so many different rings on... something tells me she was just trying things on there.

mizuki-7, she's only had two new music releases this year. The announcements are always around the new CD releases.

[anna_ayu]

Well, I don´t know what I say or think... One thing is true: I like Ayu and I wish her the better, but I think it´s strange... To me, it seem marketing to promote her new CD.

If it´s serious I hope Ayu to be a racional person to take a good decision and check if this guy is a trustful person.

[anna_ayu]

How people in Japan are receiving the news?

[Zeke.]

10 years really is like nothing. I think a lot of the diva american artists have had larger age gaps, yes?

Anyway, I'm 24 and if Ayu wanted to get it on with me I'd consider that a blessing!

[Bigtop]

When I checked the unread count was 466 (and I last came less than 24 hours ago), I had a thought something was big...

...and then all of a sudden - looking at this, I'm surprised.

I have no comment to say. I mean, engaged to some guy studying at UCLA? Uhh...

yeah, but we've all noticed that big rock on her left ring finger since then, too.

[YuriChan]

Congratulations to ayu!

[waterballoon]

if this guy is rich then Ayu has gotten herself a good catch

in Singapore's context, and assuming she's my close friend I'd call her a SPG (Sarong Party Girl), an Asian (more Singaporean) lady who has a preference to Caucasian men, lol. hoping to see a lavish wedding with all their close friends... not a rushed matter like Mannie's.

most importantly I REALLY TRULY hope she's happy with this and it'd last. I may have my reservations and cynicism but we can't say anything if she's honestly happy

[truehappiness]

I think since she had those mini health scares of sorts in 2007/2008~ she's been a lot more relaxed and on the lookout for love than ever before.

What was her health scares? I know about her ear problem, but are there others?

In her Numero Tokyo interview, she mentioned that she pushed herself too hard back then and fell into some bad habits around 2008 or so.... iirc she ruined her knee around that time because of it too.

[greenteadrinker]

Sigh. I hope, I really hope this turns out well.

[se7entheaven]

I have a feeling this time the guy actually came from a good background, like rich family. If he's introduced by Cristophe who's also a class on his own. Compare to coughmanniecough whom she picked herself.

[Refix]

In this modern time, some people still think that an age gap in a relationship won't get nowhere or fail... how sad.
Its more in the person it self. If both can understand each other, compromise each other, then I guess it doesn't really matter.
And why does some people ALWAYS think that when his or her economy status is not like his or her partner, then there's always a hidden (economy, status, whatever) motive behind their relationship? How can these people be so shallow. I know that everything can be happen in this mud ball, but come on! Give it a chance will ya!
If their partner become well know, its because the paparazi, and mostly because people curiosity. If he get fame by that, then its the consequences he get. Not because he want it.

[emi♡]

People are so rude.


Hoping he comes from money? Just because Ayu has money?

It's not like she comes from *actual* money. She has no status, except what she earned for herself. Her family comes from nothing. She is new money.

[adantatu2]

I hope she can be happy with this guy, but ayu if you keep your musical career, please don't forget your schedule and your agreements.
I'm sure she can have a husband and a musical career at the same time (just look at Kuu)

[No_Doubt]

Fuck my life...I'm actually really jealous right now. You broke my heart Ayu.

[Yuniz_hime]

I'm happy for her. Wish her all the happiness. I want to see her beautiful smile because she is in love.

I know some here think it is bad timing. But with release for every month since when? September? October? Then when is the 'best time' you think she needs to announce? After CDL? Isn't it will affect PRAY? So after PRAY? What if she announce for new album or AT? Then next year? two years later? Or just keep it silence?

The magazine got the news first then Ayu needs to tell in TA, her fans mad - Maro case.
She just announced she married with Mannie - her fans mad.
She announced she engaged to that man - her fans mad.
LOL, Ayu...are you happy to share the good news with your fans?

About the age gap. I don't think it is a big gap. Both are adults. Yes, I can see they might face time problem. One is an artist in Japan. One is a doctor soon to be. From what I see in drama and in reality, doctor is a super busy man especially the first five years so I hope Ayu and that man know how to deal with it. It's their problem. I just hope they can fix it.
