Agree!

There doesn't seem to be a credible source. There seems to be just alot of fan rumors fueling tabloid rumors all because of the typo years back that gave Maro, Yoshio's last name.

If they get married (probably straight after CDL again), Ayu is gonna be a step mommy :love

Yeah, but a mommy to who, Yoshio's baby, Maro's newborn or Maro's 16 year old that he had when he was 12 listed by the other news sources?

you know... did ayumi even announce that she was dating mannie...
or did they just meet and then get married?

Or will Avex create a hybrid that can learn to sing duets when it's 3 months old?

^^She just announced that they were getting married and not the dating that (hopefully) happened before the marriage.

I find that TA leaving stuff overly suspicious myself. And that quote from TA that was posted in the dating thread, I cannot find it on TA. I would appreciate if someone would mention the exact place where it was posted.

Some say 1, some say 3 :roflmao

...with a strong austrian accent :chem

I didn't have time to check the whole thread but have question:

do we already know how long ayu'll stay in Paris, did she say anything?

Sorry if this has been answered before.

And congratulations to all the fans who got and get to meet her!:heart

She leaves Monday for London.

I was their and her driver said that she was supposed to leave tomorrow... So if you wanted to see her, I don't know if it'll be possible :(. She already saw her fans twice today and nobody seems to know when she's leaving tomorrow.

By the way, I'm back from Paris and I wanted to write a "report" since I saw ayu a few times, recorded videos etc... Should I make a new thread ? And where ? *kinda lost*

Which one? Because someone posted an article with the words "HAHAHA" or something, and when I clicked on the article it was from Media Mass, which is a site that purposely creates fake celebrity stories to try and prove some point.

EDIT: Also, I'm not loving that she's going to London. All of her London inspired stuff has not impressed me. RnRC and PQ are probably my least favorite Ayu albums.

^ what was the newest article? The one that tokyoxjapanxfan posted... Did they just mention the two dating, or did they say that maro was divorcing and had a child as well?

Going to london...
either new music or maybe photoshots for a calendar...
although the calendar should of been done awhile a go... if she has one for next year..

Lol.. Step mommy to maro's child??? I think ayu would prefer to have her OWN child with maro.. LOL

i just got back home! Met Ayu for the last time today!

so many things happen now,so many news, and im shocked about her TA message about getting ! woah seems so serious with Maro and they looked so in love and intimate to each other...

on the other hand ,since someone mentionedit about her hair xD on friday she just pull her at the back and it looked shorter i mean the real hari, but to day im quite sure that she put on some hair extensions ^^

I think that's all about CDL

:thud
who said this?? is it official??

^
yes thats true her driver told us, shes leaving tomorrow,but dont know at what time

^ but is she going to london or going back to japan? because currently i'm in london so i wanna see her if she comes <3

OMG! I'm in London, anyone where is the Japanese CD Store in London??????

dont know about that, some said maybe shes going to London or maybe it is just a rumour, lets wait and and see her next tweet, "next destination is..." :D

Her makeup artist arrived in Paris the flight after hers and he has already flown to London after the 2 days of being followed by the professional photographer. Just a hunch, but since this seems to be all about the publicity and getting her prep work and meetings over skype done in the hotel for the upcoming CDL. I'm guessing London, followed by NY, then LA before a return to Japan.

hmm? How do you know this? Did she tweet it?

No, it's not. First sentence includes takusan no utabangumi, many music tv shows. Second sentence is about CDL.

Edit: Or did you mean that's the only the mentioning of CDL?

I made a new Ayu & Maro - The Action never stops thread here, so maybe we can move that discussion over there.

I've never been anywhere where prices aren't really inflated.

I hope she reveals her hotel so I can go tomorrow evening, after tomorrow I can't go until Saturday because of work D:

UH THAT SUCKS.. Would you mind telling me a price-inflated one though?:mischief thanks

This is bulls. I don't get why celebrities, especially in asia are expected to apologize for disclosing their relationships. She is doing us a favour by letting us know. Stupid fans with their ideas of what her life should be like better suck it up. Who cares who she's seeing, as long as she's happy the fans should be too. And anyways we all know that the knews was leaked to cause a commotion. Avex never does anything just because.

^What? You know Avex leaked this story, like the weekly magazine thing that started it all, but somehow you miss seeing PUBLICITY STUNT. How?

Ayu knows what she's doing, always have faith that Ayu will do the right thing

^
^ then again, if it's stunt so what? what can u do? can u stop it? or will u just stop being ayu's fan?
get over it~~~ you've been telling over and over again that what ayu does is stunt, SO WHAT?

so she's going back to Japan today right?

I still don't know if there is anything official on Maro having kids. The credible tabloid sites don't mention it but the gossip sites do, but as ayu said she plans to keep her private life, private

I dont know if this has been posted yet...
but...

on her facebook:

i dont know what it means though, does it means its for 3d tv?

thanks!
dont know how i missed that.

^that's unpopular thread =)

so all they are doing is broadcasting the Rock n Roll circus tour?

^ yep. 3D version
I hope that means release of 3D bly ray soon

i hope its not one of the 5 releases...
i dont own a 3d player or tv! me no want! lol

In the last 5 minutes, Ayu lost 4 followers... when I accessed it five minutes ago, it was 837,487, now it's down to 483...

This is not good, she was just gaining followers recently, not losing any... I'm kind of worried.

^oh no sugarcube, you can't judge off of that...it's probably always going up and down a bit. It's alright.

If she loses like, hundreds and thousands though...that's different.

She is now at 837 490 so ...

Now she has 837536. Not much of a problem I guess.

Maybe try around Picadilly (Japanese dept store & Japan centre), I know for sure they sell fashion magazines, so you might be lucky and find some older ones with Ayu on. I've never been there for CDs, I know they sell stuff super popular stuff, like Johnny's, and some anime CDs online, but it's super expensive. I don't know if they'll have Ayu.

I've seen OS press singles at JP press prices in China Town (5 mins walk from Picadilly), have a browse there. Might be lucky and find a good deal.

Sorry I can't help more, I always buy online.

You can buy Jpop CDs on the bottom floor of HMV Oxford Street but again they don't have a great selection and it's expensive.

i really wouldnt think to much of it... it was only a few months ago it was around 700K... so she is still gain followers this late in her career.

besides some people might join to check her out then realize that the girl post WAY too muhc, lol.

Well, she's now, have 837.707
not better?

ah gosh this thread moves way too fast

She seems to be going up in followers, from what I can see.

She could also have a handful of bots following her that get deleted which would result in less followers every so often.

Anyway, her total is still quite a bit higher compared to a year ago. She should be hitting a million sometime next year if she keeps this up imo.

Also, she has 837,800 right now so I'm sure there's nothing to worry about as far as people 'not following her' anymore because for every handful that unfollows her, more than enough click that follow button to replenish those 'lost' followers.

If you want to see how her followers have increased since joining 2 years ago... she's never really lost followers. If anything, every few days, she gains at least a thousand or so followers.

man! in 3 days she added almost 100K lol...
that was 2 years ago, but still! o.O.

People like drama XD

is just twitter

This is the twitter thread, guys.....

Anyway, Ayu is back in Japan now.

^ah~ she is?

Lol that's what a nanny is for. Then her nanny can make a tv show about how difficult ayu is like the one we have here lol.

But seriously, does maro have a kid. Children are the extra dimension to relationships that make things, including divorce a lot harder. Otherwise I think that if he wanted to seriously date then they both should've just agreed early on to file for divorce. Sooner than later.

she just got back today? i thought she left on Monday and arrived at japan yesterday.
and she updated TA message.

Anyone know what Ayu's latest tweet says?

From Misa-chan's blog

LOL thats a really good one

rofl'ing at this last tweet :laugh

@Luna62: Thanks!!

LOL! Only Ayu.

Her last tweet made me smile lol. XD

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_me...e8u5o1_500.jpg

looks bad =/

She just looks like she's out for dinner and having a beer, imo.

^this.

Now if there were like 12 bottles around her... then that's bad. Otherwise, she's just drinking a beer. Do people think she wouldn't be drinking alcohol in public unless something was wrong? Or if it's not a glass of wine or water, it's "not good"?

^Maybe people think that Ayu doesn't drink period? I remember when Party Queen lyrics came out some people fussed because it was about drinking.

Up until a few years ago, she had a mini fridge just for beer and drank a lot whenever she was alone. I think she's changed that since her ear issues though.

That pic is making me crave beer><

Ah, now I want a beer so badly! >_<

^ Now I want to share a beer with ayu :laugh

I want beer too!!!!!

Now everyone wants beer... I hate beer. I wouldn't drink it, not even for Ayu. She can drink the beer, I'll have wine.

^Right on.
Or some nice Schnapps.

Why is drinking a beer bad??
Besides.. we really dont know how many she has had... she is hiding the table :lech

get your drink on!

かんぱい~~~！\(^0^)/

Actually, is that Maro I spy with her? The only reason I think its him is the hair. Its similar to Maro's and everyone knows Ayu has a thing for guys whose hair is so long they can put it in a bun.

word lol

yeah looks like him

wow when was that pic taken?

While she was in Paris!

The word "Schnaps" exists in English too? Wow, didn't know that. xD

They also use "Lachs", but it's written as "lox" - oh Jewish influences.

Schnapps is very popular in america and comes in many many many different flavors... its best for mixing, but some just drink it...

first thing that came to my mind was that snapple drink.
Used to love it

Ayu just tweeted this
Revised translation (except where noted).. ^^;;

To the so called beloved ZIN?
I wonder what thats supposed to mean?

that tweet is so confusing eeep

A slight mistranslation on my part.. ^^;

^ ohh... cool... I thought so... I didnt know why she would refer to him like that...
I was thinking... ZIN being a stage name, maybe, lol...

My dictionary says:

さいあい【最愛】
最愛の妻｜one's dear [｟文語｠beloved] wife
最愛の友｜one's best [closest / dearest] friend

It only exists to me if the word "peach" is in front of it.

oh,.. the paparazzi there took that pic?
i thought it was taken when ayu has arrived in japan.

Edit: Sorry for posting in this after the new one was created. T_T

you're missing the point i was referring too... 'the so called'
thats a strange way to refer to someone you know.... but the OP already said it was a mistranslation.

I guess it's like how you would say in English "My dearest friend ZIN"~

The pic hasn't been taken by a paparazzi but by a Chinese man who lives in Paris and saw her by chance. He took a picture and posted it on his Weibo.
