What? :laugh

Honestly, if I were in her situation, I would get married in secret and probably...well, never tell the world until I was retiring. XD The pattern for female pop stars seems to be a noticeable decline in popularity after marriage. Sucks, but it happens.

GOSH!!!!!
that's a very good news to ayuchan
I think she worked too much
Life after married will make she get better
she look exhausted...><
thanks for sharing
Bet that Jin's returning much sooner
YEAH!!!!~

if its true its great news.. ayumi getting married.. she nt young anymore..

What IF she already is married!!!!:thud

Well good for them. I expect only great things to come out of this.
(I just hope Ayumi won't go all ""BEAUTIFUL DAY" REPRESENT MY LIFE - I WANT ARUBUMU LIKE THIS" on us)

there have been so many AyuXNagase rumors that I choose to believe this a rumor until, like earlier posts have stated, that it is reported by a valid source... aka - Ayu herself-...

OMG THIS INFORMATION WAS RELEASED ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

if it's true, i wonder where would they live after they get married?
will they live in ayu's 5 storeys mansion?

I would really love to see ayu confirm this...like have a press conference with tomoya there :D

I doupt she'd make a press conference about her marriage, that would get all her boyfriend's fangirls into a violent riot:grumpy

And the rule that married artists become less popular isn't neccesirily true. The only example I can think of right now is Madonna, which I beleive someone else mentioned in this thread...

^Lol, uh. Actually I would think it's the opposite. You'd be surprised about Nagase's fangirls. They're not the typical JE fans.

Randomly, an academic article, "Cuteness as Japan's Millennial Product" by Anne Allison from the academic journal, Japan's Millennial Product cites Gendai as an actual credible news journal, as opposed to a tabloid that has no credibility whatsoever. Just thought I should mention this, because I just came across it. ^^v

well didn't ayu publically annouced her relationship with nagase before? If they are marrying, I don't see why wouldn't they or one of them do a conference or just announce it publically.

^ Well, the news report said that we can be expecting a conference towards the end of 07? But JE was already starting to "leak" the info to credible news sources so it wouldn't come as too much of a shock. I don't know, I just remembered someone contested that Gendai can't be trusted because it's a tabloid, but then when I was doing academic reading, I came across Gendai being cited in an academic publication, which 100% unwaveringly refutes the credibility issue. Scholars are not known to cite tabloids as credible sources of academic information, and Anne Allison did absolutely cite Gendai in this one academic publication.

interesting that kattun is involved, thanks for sharing!
