Ayu got engaged today! (12/12/2013)

[anna_ayu]

How people in Japan are receiving the news?

[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...

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

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

Congratulations to ayu!

It's better this way, if she can keep it like a simple announcement to let people a aware she's going to be married and that's it. I just hope she keeps it private after this announcement.

She has been someone who has always been so celebratory of marriage that now she is almost obligated and its expected of her that you know if she did get married she would give more of a build up and not just blindside everyone.

I see this marriage a 100% fail.

excuse me??
who are you to say that she's better with THIS or THAT person?
she's 35 yo! i get it if you're worried about her, but what can we do? she's freaking 35 yo already!!
and huge age gap shouldn't make any problem! age is just number!
whether this relationship works or not, it's none of our business, it's ayu's problem!

like somebody else have said, i think it makes sense that ayu seems rush in every relationship she has had for the past 3 years because she's running out of time, she wants to feel in love.

Agree with this

btw congrats ayu and wish u all the best. Happily ever after..

[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.

[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.

[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!

[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.

Nobody ever knows how a relationship will go. Either the love dies on the way or last till the end of people's lives. There's nothing wrong if this relationship doesn't work out in the end (which I hope not). At this moment, she's happy and the guy is happy, and there's true love between them. That all matters.

my thoughts exactly

[Majutsu]

Ayu has been through so much in the relationship department... I really hope things work out for her this time.

[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.

[kotora]

No offense. The number 25 and 35 gets me attention. That boy looks older and ayu looks younger.

So that balances off.
