Nice. You must have a really high opinion of Ayu.

lol calm down

[sachiko02]

Ayumi & Manuel got married in a small chapel in Las Vegas. Only staff and close friend attended. I hope they have a big ceremony later on.

Well, I am just surprised because I haven't been keeping up with Ayu much at all. XD But overall, she looks genuinely happy, and I just wish the two of them all of the best of luck with their lives. Ayu (and Mannie!) both deserve every bit of happiness.

[Kanzaki]

Maybe they actually got married in the Virgin Road PV, and cut it out of the Making of, lol.

[GREENsora]

That picture is adorable! They look so cute together

[Andrenekoi]

As I said... she never made a big fuss of her personal life... And she still isn't...

[Sven@.@]

I've calmed down from the initial shock of the news, but I really hope the best for her. If Mannie brings her happiness, more power to them. <3 The message to TA was comforting because, even if it was a bit selfish I was worried that she would want to retire but I don't think she will.

Married in Vegas, eh? How American hahahahahaha.

I'm perfectly calm. I just wanted to point out what that by making those kind of assumptions when they have been refuted makes you come off exactly how I described. It can be taken extremely negatively to question someone's integrity.

LOL I would be seriously shocked by that, but I doubt that would happen any time soon.

[ayumasing]

Yeah, my mom just read the Japanese article....made it official in Vegas, and apparantly, they are in Japan right now. I also didn't know that Mannie was 30. Huh.

And in that picture, I just found it funny because it looked like they were saying "I love you"...but instead of looking deeply into each other's eyes, Mannie was looking deeply into the reflection of his eyes because of Ayu's sunglasses. I wonder why she wsa wearing them in such a heartfelt picture. I'm not bashing or anything, I just found it funny. Odd sense of humour, I suppose....

[ownsarai]

^Ayu is a diva, she wears sunglasses all the time...even inside, and at night. xD

[emi♡]

sniff sniff she most likely wont have another ceremony...she's too busy...

so now the thread is called "Ayu Marriage thread" okay?

[jbrat2219]

I was really hoping for something big... I was really hoping for a to-die-for wedding dress. I've been watching bridal shows all weekend!!! One of the weddings tonight was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO Ayu and I couldn't help but think of her the entire time...

[Picaflor 7/4]

I don't know. I'd laugh if she started putting that on her album covers now.

At least it's not Schwartz.

Hi!

I just read this a few seconds ago in a spanish blog but I'm not sure if this is real or just an invention from the same blog (He say he read it in Yahoo japan But I can't find it)

Spoiler:

Noticia Alarmante

Como ya todos sabran la Reina del J-Pop Ayumi Hamasaki acaba de casarse y fue anunciado oficialmente atravez del TA (Team Ayu) y Twitter, sin perdida de tiempo todo japon quedo paralizado por la noticia, inmediatamente los miembros de TA no dudaron en expresarse y dudar sobre la veracidad del matimonio, esto porque a todos les causa dudas devido a que mannie y ayu tienen muy poco tiempo en conocerse, rapidamente se comvoco a una junta de los presidentes del club oficial de fans, estos mismos (los presidentes) son fans que representan a todo el TA ante ayu y Avex Group, pocas horas despues atravez del la web oficial de los presidentes de los fans anunciaron una conferencia de presensa la cual fue comvocada para anunciar una noticia estremecedora.

La noticia anunciada por los presidentes del Fanclub retumbo por toda asia, tanto fue el impacto que hasta el presidente de Avex group (Masato "Max" Matsuura) se sintio en una posicion incomoda, la noticia fue:

"Como representante de los fans que conforman el TA felicitamos a Ayu! por esta noticia, no obstante no dejamos de pensar que puede haber algo de tras de este matrimonio, como representantes de los fans del TA nos vemos obligados a no solo a ver por los fans sino tambien dar a conocer toda la verdad, por este comunicado hacemos un atento llamado a (Masato "Max" Matsuura) el cual no permitremos que involucren a los seguidores de Ayu! en una mentira, no permitiremos que involucren al TA en causas con fines de lucro que solo veneficiaran a Avex Group en lo economico."

Para que el presidente de Avex Group viera que era enserio este comunicado, los mismos presidentes del club de fans comvocaron un dia 0, es decir: que ningun fan que perteneciera al TA comprara el nuevo album de ayu (Love songs) (que!!!!!!!!!!!!) y que los mismo dieran a conocer este dia con sus amistades, el dia 0 fue programado el dia 2 de enero del 2011 horas despues del matrimonio de ayu y mannie, avex group anuncio atraves de su web en el apartado de transparencia que no hubo ningun cambio significativo en las ventas, no obstante en el regirtro oficial de transparencia nacional japones anuncio lo contrario, ya que en sus registros aparece que fue uno de los peores dias de ventas del album, inmediatamente este tema sono en todo japon y actualmente Masato "Max" Matsuura y ayu tiene prohibido hablar del tema segun los abogados de los mismo.

Tambien en Yahoo Japan los presidentes anunciaron:

Ayu! aun que somos tus fans de corazon no permitiremos que traten de usar utilizar esta situacion para manipular a tus fieles fans y obtener ganasias financieras, somos felices por tu matrimonio pero sentimos que hay algo detras de esto, esperamos y solo sea un mal presentimiento ya que si fuera real nos sentiriamos traicionados por nuesta gran estrella...

Actualmente en japon hay conflicto entre si es real el matrimonio o no, lo que queda claro es que si estan tratando de manipular a los fans a ayu le podria costar la confianza de los fans y su completa carrera en asia, en china, corea y taiwan tambien los fans se preparan, ya que esperan que este presentimiento no sea real ya que todos se sentirian traicionados como ocurrio hace unos años ya que ayu habia anunciado su matrimonio con un artista chino pero el matrimonio fue cancelado meses despues, en un programa de la TV japonesa se trato de conseguir la opinion del presidente de Avex Group pero lo unico que se consiguio fue una negativa del mismo.

Solo queda esperar ver que sucede, si este matrimonio tiene doble intencion puede o no costarle la carrera a Ayumi Hamasaki no solo en asia si no en el mundo.

Todo queda a discrecion de cada fan y solo hay que esperar para ver que prepara el futuro, sin duda este matrimonio esta contra la espada y la pared, recuerden que los fans japoneses ya han presiona a ayu hasta el punto de pedir disculpas publicamente y hacer que se retracte de varias cosas, como el caso del twitter donde los fans japoneses presionaron a ayu a escribir en japones y no en ingles y hasta pedir disculpas por escribir en ingles.

Sin duda hay que estar muy al pendiente de este tema y solo me queda decir ques esto queda a desición de cada fan de ayumi hamasaki.

Sorry... I can't tranlate it to english, so I hope people who understand spanish could help...

EDIT:

English translation (Thanks to Dulceku)

Alarming news:

Like everybody knows, Jpop Queen Ayumi Hamasaki just got married and it was oficially anounced through TA (Team Ayu) and twitter, and instantly Japan got paralyzed with the new. Immediately TA members expressed their doubts about the veracity of the marriage, all because Ayu and Mannie don't know each other for too long. Fast the fanclub Chairmen board was called, who are fans that represent all TA before Ayu and Avex Group. Some hours later through official website of fan president it was announced a press conference to announce this shocking new.

This new rumbled to all Asia, the impact was so big that the Avex Group chairman (Masato Max Matsuura) felt in an uncomfortable position, the new was:

"As representative of the fans who belong to TA, we congratulate Ayu for this new, however we don't stop thinking that there's something behind this marriage, as representative of TA fans we have to not only think of fans but also to get the true known, through this statement to Max Matsuura we wanna let you know that we won't allow to get Ayu's followers to get involved in a lie, we won't allow TA getting mixed in causes with for-profit that only will benefit Avex Group economically."

In order to Avex Group chairman to take seriously this statement, the TA president himself called a "Day 0", consisting on not a single TA member buy the new Ayu album, Love songs, and to give this happening known between their friends. The "Day 0" was called for Jan 2nd 2011, hours after Ayu's marriage with Mannie. Avex Group announced in their official site that there wasn't any change on the sales, but on Japanese National Transparency Registry it was reported the opposite, since it appears that it was one of the worst sales day for this album. This topic immediately was know all through Japan and Max Matsuura and Ayu got prohibited to talk about it, according to their lawyers.

Also in Yahoo Japan, TA presidents announced:

"Ayu, though we are unconditional fans, we won't allow to get manipulated using this situation to get economic benefits, we are happy for your marriage but we feel that there's something behind this, we hope that it's just a bad feelin and if it was real we would feel betrayed by our idol."

Currently in Japan there's a conflict about this issue, it's not clear if they're trying to manipulate the fans, that would cost Ayu the trust they have in her and her complete career in Asia, China, Korea, and Taiwan. Also some fans are getting ready, waiting for this feeling isn't real since everyone would feel betrayed like already happened years ago when Ayu announced she was marrying a chinese artist but this marriage was canceled months later. In the Japanese TV they tried to get the opinion of Avex group chairman but the only thing they got was his negativity.

We can only wait to see what happens, if this marriage has a double intention can cost Ayu her career not only in Asia but also worldwide.

This all keeps on each fan's discreetness and we can only wait what the future holds, without a doubt this marriage is between wall and sword, remember that japanese fans already pressured Ayu to make her apologize publicly and make her retract for several things, like the happening of twitter when the fans pressured her to stop talking in english to do it japanese, and even made her apologize for talking in english.

Without a doubt we have to be aware of this issue and my only thing to say left is that this will keep in each Ayumi Hamasaki fan decision.

So... Is this true?

[tinka69]

I thought Schwartz sounded better but I'm pretty sure they both mean the same thing (black).

[♫ Ŀм · TƨUʞI ♫]

I've searched in Yahoo Japan, and I didn't find anything about this guy is talking about. Maybe it's only a gossip... a horrible gossip ¬¬

[Sandre]

Congratulation Ayu. Best wish for both of them.
Although it's a bit rush I think. But They seem so happy together.
