Ayu totally has a crush on Mannie.
 

I know this has been mentioned in other threads, but come on. Ayu totally has a crush on him. For srsly. And even if it goes nowhere, it's so entertaining to watch them flirt on Twitter. :laugh

--don't you think she does? :P

Yes, even though they are just playing around for the most part. From his tweets, he takes her out to romantic dinners and stuff.

I think it's going to blossom into something more than just twitter flirting. The distance between them will be hard though, but he keeps hinting at how he wants to take a vacation. Japan maybe?

I know, I thought they were in a relationship before I found out he was in her PV (I wasn't following any Ayu news for a bit). I hope they do become a couple (if they are not already).

Ayu x Mannie can be a cute couple!
and Mannie is seen in the set of Dream ON PV, taking pic with Naoya Urata..
and i wonder why Mannie was there? is he gonna appear on that Dream ON PV too? i don't think so..
i guess well.maybe something going on between them.. haha XD

ah i cherish this couple though :)

I would absolutely love it. :heart
They are adorable.

They would make very lovely babies. :D

//lol I think they'd be cute together, going off the Virgin Road PV.

AyuxMannie, definitely a HOT couple. They are both attractive, they seem to genuinely like each other. Mannie keeps tweeting Ayu and just randomly that something is on his mind. I bet its that he is falling for her. OMG how sweet they would be together.

who the hell is mannie?

oh ok the guy from virgin road

anyone know how old is he?

hope he's a crush on her too XD so lovely and cool together

Who wouldn't fall for her! And his constant random tweeting of her is so cute!

Been wondering that myself. Ayu says he is younger than she is, but I can't imagine he's too much younger, judging by his appearance. Maybe late twenties, at the youngest? That's my guess, anyway...

25-27 ??? i don't believe he's younger!

yea he's younger..
my guess also a few year younger only.. 29-31 haha XDD
maybe 30?

I think someone asked Ayu and she said he was 2 years younger than her if I remember correctly xD

Mannie and Ayu are so adorable. That would be so sweet if Ayu really did find someone she cared about again. And you know what, she probably didn't expect it to happen since he probably was just "that guy I'm acting with" in the Virgin Road PV.

I would absolutely love them to be a couple. They're acting like teenagers, and it's adorable. That's an unusual statement for me, because I normally cringe at the thought of her getting a new boyfriend.

Hell how much do I dislike that guy?
Well, A LOT. :rolleyes
He's sorta annoyin' me. And this Ayu-Mannie-playtime on Twitter, :eviltongu :irked no more thank you!

I barely can stand him being on Virgin Road and Last angel PV... I hope so much that they'll show mostly Ayu ONLY. No Mannie-playboy^^

Probably just working his connection with her to get more press and work.

If they are really a couple, all I want to say is 'Mannie, If you make Ayu sad, I'll kill you :rifle'
:thumbsup


By the way, I still don't believe they're a couple

I think he's VERY sexy! And I really enjoy the thing that is going on between Ayu and Mannie, it's very entertaining!^^ And of course, I would love it when the two would become a couple!^^

Manny is hot

i think people are just seeing something that its not there

^yea, you go read their tweets with each other and tell me nothing is going on...even if its just a friendship, it seems to be a pretty close one.
Mannie is 30 his birth date is June 9, 1980.

^^LOL
yeah he's the same age as me xD
mannie's not bad and I guess Ayu's enjoying herself... we'll see what happens ;)

Fans will get to meet ayu AND Mannie tonight at the hotel!! :dead2

Oh man, thanks for this thread, it really answered all my questions. XD
I was like "What?! No way! She's not married already is she?"

Wow, ohsixthirty gets to meet up with Mannie for coffee. Such a lucky guy~ Aren't you glad you went to LA now Brian? haha

Nah, I don't think he's that much of a douche. But if he is BSing Ayu, the fans will let him have it!

This! Even if it's not serious, there is some DEFINITE chemistry there omg.

I guess we will soon know what Mannie is really like since ohsixthirty is with him right now having coffee. ^^

Maybe he's the reason why she decided to call the album "Love songs"...:innocent

lol Even if they aren't a couple or never will be, they are obviously flirting on twitter. :P

That's a possibility :no

A few mins ago:

@ayu_19980408 there would only be sweet things to tell ;) 12 minutes ago via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ayu_19980408

(in response to Ayu requesting that he doesn't tell ohsixthirty anything silly about her.)

Now tell me that isn't some major flirtation there, lol.

I would die of happiness if they became a couple (or already are). They are amazing together ♥ While it could just be him working the connection... it's more fun to dream, right? :) And seriously, if he was, why would he meet up with fans? :/ Or just do all this Tweeting in the first place?

Anybody know what the Japanese fans think of this Ayu & Mannie romance? XD

I don't care really and I haven't read their tweets. As long as Ayu's happy~

Some of them are jealous, but I've seen a majority of them being very supportive, and are even tweeting to Mannie being nice~ ^^

She totally does and it makes me so happy thinking about an Ayu with that tingly feeling in her stomach! I really hope (and I'm pretty sure) it's a mutual thing, and that they maybe work something out.

They look adorable together too! Without a doubt one of the most sexy couples out there if they ever get it on *eyebrow waggle*

I'm so lame :laugh

Another thing to see is that their horoscopes are totally compatible! Mannie's a Gemini & Ayu's a Libra... reli reli good matching considering both are Air element horoscopes <3

@ownsarai - thank you! :D

^ so, basically, they're perfect. Compatible in everyway. Majority of the fanbase love Mannie. What are you waiting for Ayu?! ♥ Weddings and Ayu-babies now please. I imagine Ayu would write some really beautiful songs if she got married and had a baby. Manuel Hamasaki. Yep yep, it would be the wedding of the century. ♥

Haha, lame maybe, but they are pretty hot. :lech

Also, the thread title was changed? Lol. I guess too many people still don't know who Mannie is!

They looks so cute (and hot) together. Would be nice if they will become a couple :heart.
And I never realized until now, Mannie = Manuel D: gosh it's the same name of my boyfriend :laugh.

At first I wasn't a big fan of Mannie.
In the virgin road PV he sort of struck me as a bit... I don't know... unkempt? And not in a good way. :/
But then I saw pictures of him from his site and those new ones of him and Ayu and he actually looks really sweet and attractive, much more than in Virgin road.
Ha, that whole PV sort of disturbs me a bit. Ayu + AK47 = ???

But I really hope Mannie treats her right. She works so hard and does so much, she more than deserves someone to love her as much as possible. :3

Looks like we're going to need a TeamMannie soon. :p ♥

^Mannie is a part of our big A FAMILY~ ^^

I always thought that she wouldn't be the type of person, who would expose her privacy like that. Or at least I hope so. I would be quite disappointed if she would. Especially at such an early stage. Wasn't she dating Nagase a year before they announced it?

tbh this thread is kinda creepin' me out :laugh

But I didn't know Brian is having coffee with him, that's so cool!

yaaaay! he looks so easy and nice, isn't he?

I keep looking at Ownsarai's siggy :D They're lovely~~~

AyuxMannie now is on top of Jaeyumi now :D oh, just slightly :P

I want the PV nowwwwww!
goshh..i expected a real and long kissing scene between them!!

They are a very good couple. Ayu seems to "wear the pants" lol

^ :roflmao

Can you guies share the flirty tweets please? I've been away from Twitter for too long to find them. Thx.

Said it before, but i hope that Ayu has good pple around her to advise her. Getting dumped before the media wasn't nice, getting used would be even worse.

I'm happy for Ayu if she's found something in him. But really.. I don't think Ayu is going to flaunt their new found affection (if its there) in a PV. She has a little bit more credibility than that.

I'm sick of seeing people say ayu is getting "used". She's a smart woman.

wellI think she looked better with Tomoya, and I still don't know why exactly they parted..
as long as she's happy, I'm happy
wish the best for her!! :)

(he' better than Ayu x Shuya thing haha)

seriously i think ayu and mannie is good together!! hahah!

Ayu: mannie, I'm HOME!

Mannie: how was work today?

Ayu: Just met the fans and recorded *stares blankly for a minute*
where is my DINNER?!

Mannie: Oh, yes um, it'll get it ready!


:P

I think they make a cute couple, and they're SO fl;irting on twitter a blind man could see it.

HAHA, that was cute.... If they were a couple for real, I think they'll be flirting in twitter with all the lovey-dovey talk non-stop

Mannie: Honey, u are the most beautiful women in the world. :)
ayu: really?? Awwww... love you dear!!
MAnnie: yes ,of course... see ya tomorrow, sweetheart.

And it goes on and on.. LOL

It seems they are really flirting but...I don't know...If I were Ayu, I would that kind of things on internet so may be it could be a joke...

I can see the flirting in their twitis. Yesterday I was checking their latests pics and... Manuel twitted two pics of them toghether

later I'll post them, i'm in a hurry now ~ ~

Very sweet onion♪RT @Mannie69: @ayu_19980408 yes, the aftertaste is sweet
Dies....

As long as she's happy :D

Well...good for her! :D

As long as Ayu is happy, I'm happy too! :yes :heart

Are you guys talking about this?
http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._3509862_n.jpg

Ha, I think so.
I'm hoping they're a real couple (probably not though...).
The tweets they send to eachother are so cute.

Didja know that the reason Ayu didn't come down and meet with fans the night I went up there was because she did NOT come back to the hotel that night?

Yatenkouxoxo pointed this interesting fact out to me: Monday night (the evening I went up to LA to meet her) Mannie posted a picture of the sunset on his twitter. Tuesday morning, Ayu posted a picture of the sunrise. Both of these pictures were taken at the same location.

Interestings~:innocent

Oh, heh heh, forgot about that.

Get it girl.

Mannie is gross.

His looks?
If that's the case, you're crazy! lol

he is HOT, just jope he doesn't hurt ayu!!

I think they are adorable together.

:shakehead

You're thinking of Peco

I doubt it would work, he lives in LA and she lives in Japan.

LOLOLOL

:innocent


He doesn't do it for me, that modeling look where they don't look like a natural comfortable person, but really excel when they are being photographed in poses,

I don't like that look.

His hair is too long, too, in my opinion.

I really liked Tomoya. But he's totally old news now
well, whatever. If ayu likes him, thats good for her :)
I just hope he'll stop making so many appearances in her work.

That's another issue, I think---Because he is appearing in so much of her work, wouldn't they just be friends, working together? I would have a hard time putting a love interest in so much of my public work, because what if we broke up?

She definitely kept Tomoya out of her work.

Anyway. :shrug

:roflmao

Yeah, but she met Mannie by hiring him for Virgin Road (or having Avex hire him), so that's not really possible in his case.

They would be so freaking hot together :heart

I'm really happy for both Mannie and Ayu. Whether they have a relationship in the future or just stay close friends, in the end they both win :)

When I think of Ayu and Mannie, I think of one of the fan girls who want a couple such as Makino x Tsukasa to be together. And you know the "moments"? Ahh~~ thanks Ayu xD

Well, now that's shes in Japan again, there's a lull, but I hope we here more from/about him in the near future. This has the potential to be very, very amusing. :D

Oh hell yes.

I hope they get together, officially. I really do. "November" sounds soooo Mannie, especially considering the title. And I'd love to see Ayu happy with someone again. She deserves it so much!

So...he's not gay? o_o

I don't think anyone ever insinuated that he's gay, lol. I'm pretty sure he likes women, judging by his behavior. :P

I dont think they could communicate well though

^ Ayu's English is very good nowadays (accent aside, I think she has a good understanding of it). So I'm not so sure about that. So far, they seem to have communicated quite clearly. :lech

I think he's unsuitable for her
I mean, she's beautiful, smart, rich and all that kind, and he is..? following the path of Cinderella, haha?
he's too simple for her...:D

I noticed how much he hugged her during the Love songs making off...it was hella hella weird. never seen her hugging anyone like that in any making off, even in cdl or arena tour making off

omg, yea... he keep hugging her during the making off.. so sweet :)... maybe he really likes her... :)

She has more than a just a crush on him. haha

^ Teehee. :P

Man, I haven't been to AHS in so long. I didn't even see this thread until now. xD Well. If I had known about it before, I definitely wouldn't have guessed that they'd move onto marriage. :P But! I don't want to extend the marriage topics even more than they're already are. ;)

Well regardless...thread winner of the unofficial AHS understatement of the year award?

But man...I knew there was something going on there. Eheh. XD

LOL ^ I LOVE UR SET!!!!!!! ^^

I wish Mannie would take Ayu's last name lol

^ Thanks!

And haha, that would be refreshing. I'd like to see more men pull a Jack White and take their wives' last names. Mannie Hamasaki sounds a little goofy though. XD

Re-reading this thread now makes me lol!!! Oh my, weren't we all clueless!! :D

oh god, she had a big one really

lol This is a nice laugh in the morning now. :yes

i think it's the very first time we felt something to happen really without substantial clues
