I'll just stick to what I said before. Her real privat3 life stays out of the press. We get publicity stunts. And like others have stated what perfect timing. Did anyone forget to say WHAT A CROCK!!! And did you guys already forget the fake kiss in You & Me? If it was real why fake that ? But again, believe the publicity stunt as always and say the rest of us are full of conspiracy theories. It's still AHS, I was surprised to see so many not buying it, but I'm with them, I'm not buying it either.

:roflmao, I wish comments like this were considered appropriate on AHS more often.

Of course we don't get to know Ayu's real life. Everything she does, everything she says etc is meant to provide her job as a songstress. Still there are people who believe in such publicity stunts, maybe even after the very obvious fake-marriage from the Love songs era.

It's cool. There are people, who believe in what the media and Ayu says, and then again, there are people like me, enjoying her job in a manner, similar to the way you'd watch a movie. Saying, it's just a dream, not reality. Most people would fall out of their shoes if they'd really get to know the people behind images like Ayu's.

After all no one knows who she is... Does this keep things interesting and exciting? Yes! It's all up to your imagination to see reality through the eyes of your mind :lech

Ayumi is not a lesbian, she doesn't have lesbian features or hair

Hope she and maro last!!! He's wayyyy better than mannie...

Feel sorry for shuya... Hahaha... I secretly thinks he likes Ayu too.. Just that she see him more as a brother...

I'm so happy for the both of them! I hope she and Maro last!

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Ewwwwwwwwwwww
Ewwwwww
:(

Going deaf being a singer... Breaking an arm having to perform... Marring being a woman in Japan... Marring a foreigner in Japan... Divorcing beign a woman in Japan... Dating a younger man in Japan... If she really is trying to promote herself though doing everything japanese people hate their idols do, maybe she should be caught with drugs the next time, it would be awesome!

It’s always been like this. I’ve always done my best to ensure that everyone in TA will be the first people to know about things which I want to say, in my own words.

So I wish for everyone in TA to understand what I’m about to say, and I’ll be glad if no one discusses this on Twitter. Well, I guess I don’t need to request it so specifically, because everyone has been protecting me like this all this while.

On to the main topic.

An article about me will be published in a weekly magazine tomorrow.
The contents are about Maro-chan and myself.

I don’t want everyone to hear incorrect rumours about me from other sources, and I don’t want to hide anymore, so I will say it clearly.

I am in a serious relationship with Maro-chan.

However, work is still work, private life is still private. I will continue to keep them separate, and create the best shows. Definitely.

I promise.

I think this will be the last time I’m discussing this issue. No matter what awaits me in the future, I believe that I will continue to send out my feelings straight to everyone.

Thank you for always.

lol, really? since when is someone breaking an arm or going deaf in an ear constitute as something people hate in an idol? I can't think of another idol with a hearing impairment and there's generally an outpouring of sympathy not hate in that event. And Utada and Namie are both divorced, no? I think Ayumi has reached a point where any news is better than no news at all. Even Kumi's career wasn't completely destroyed after her "rotten amniotic fluid" remark.

Congratulations to her. If it's a publicity stunt no big deal.

Here you go:




Edit: just read this answer, love it! xD

Not sure if joking... >.>

- Utada is not an idol.
- A good amount of the people offended by Koda's joke weren't even part of her public.
- The divorce (among other stuff) almost destroyed Namie's career (yeah, like, it didn't start with Queen of Hip Pop :P)
- Idols must be perfect, perfect people don't cancel performances because of broken arms (or falling on 3m holes during their Dome Tours) and they aren't deaf, even more if they are singers.

Did you mean Style for Namie? Queen of Hippop was the start of her career revival. Anyhow, my point was that if it was such a terrible thing, Namie's career would have never recovered.
And regarding the illness, why is it that when an AKB girl gets sick, she doesn't automatically get kicked out of the group if what you're saying is true? Really, that opinion is awfully extreme and as rabid as fans can be I can't see it happening unless you can cite an example.

Thank you so much for posting the translation!

This might be a little annoying, but is there a link anywhere to the original text? Or could someone post it here?

It took Namie +- 7 years to recover from her pregnancy~marriage~divorce... When you go from the biggest popstar in the country to almost nobody and take 7 years to be relevant again (and +-10 years to go back on the top), you did something terrible to the public eyes. People buying her stuff nowadays most likelly don't even really remember her scandal because they were way too young for it.

Ayumi was considered to be one of the most undesireble people as a spokeperson after getting deaf, and the reason was her deafness. I believe this is a very good example of it having a bad impact on her career. It could raise the interest on if people took the "wow, she is a fighter!" road, but this never happened.

Believing Ayu is doing everything that actually ruins her image to the public trying to do publicity stunts is not very clever IMO.

I'm surprised this is actually for real! I mean, it's what many of us had been wanting for a long time, right? :laugh

Well not to be at the end of a conversion, but because of Namies divorce her career kinda tanked.

The was something about Utada's divroce and the reason why it was okay...
I cant remeber the details... but Namie went through more than the divorce at that time... I also thing it had to do with being a single mom as well.

stuff like that is just looked down upon in Japan. Unlike the rest of the world... its kinda funny really... they really dont have a religion (which marriage is based on) yet they hold marriage in the upmost regard.. lol

agreed... shes been in the business long enough to know how to sale albums...
she wouldnt do something like this for a stunt because it wouldnt work.
Just look at all the negative feedback.

@Chibi-Chan

saigodansu didn't deliver:(

But alternafan000 gave us an amazing reply! The one with Ayu's exploding butt can only deliver amazing replies! XD


Also, I had no idea who maro was before. Now I do, and it's all thanks to this.
Is he REALLY the guy who was on the H-single cover?
