Half becomes one! Ayu embaressed Tomoya with her modified tattoo
 

濱崎步和長瀨智也愛情長跑7年後分手，兩人當年愛得轟轟烈烈，還在身上各紋上一半愛心。分手一年多，日前兩 人在富士電視臺「FNS歌謠祭」上碰頭，濱崎步難得秀出右肩紋身，只是昔日的半顆心，早已被步姊修改成一顆 完整的心，讓坐在台下的長瀨智也看見後，尷尬全寫在臉上。

It was 7 years of their love life lasted before it was all over --- Ayu and Tomoya's, that is, but even when the whole episode was officially ended more than a year ago, The real issue was that undercurrents are still evident between the celebrity ex-couple.

Recently during the FNS hosted by Fuji TV Corp. , Ayu suddenly shows off her rarely-revealed tattoo on her right shoulder, and the tattooed "semi-heart" mark was being modified to a "full heart", that really sent on-looking Tomoya below the stage into deep blue with perspiring embaressment.


步姊和長瀨智也熱戀時，兩人曾在身上各自紋了半邊心形圖案，象徵甜蜜愛情。前晚濱崎步參加富士電視臺「FN S歌謠祭」時，大方秀出背後紋身，但卻非大家悉知的「半邊心」而是一顆完整的心。令人不禁聯想，步姊是不是 在向台下的長瀨智也「示威」？

It was later known that when both of them were rocking each other's world last time, they had tattoed a half-shaped heart oppositely on their shoulder to symbolize their love relationship, however this time it wasn't half anymore, but it was a full heart shape that attracts a lot of speculation, that whether or not Ayu was trying to 'get back' at Tomoya?

據悉，長瀨智也明白兩人複合機會渺茫，且自己也已有固定女友，為了不讓「愛的印記」引起感傷，他早已經除去 身上刺青。再見到步姊背後的愛心，卻已不是自己熟悉的模樣，想必當天坐在台下欣賞演出的長瀨智也，心情應該 頗為複雜吧。

According to the source, Tomoya Nagase also were understood the chances of them being together again are very slim, and since he had a new girlfriend after the break up, he had long removed the tattoo. Now seeing that the once-familliar tattoo design isn't the usual type anymore, it must be kind of brought complicated feelings to the male singer, sitting at the VIP seat.

note: I know this was kinda late..... but I still think if some of you had never read it before, you might like this kind of news.

So Ayu kinda gets back at Tomoya? I think only both of them really knows the real mens rea of this blame game thingy.

I mean, big media hoo-ha over a tattoo? Kinda random, but still a funny and an interesting "conspiracy" reading material.

Hahaha, I think she's just modifying the tattoo to celebrate her 10 anniversary, and also to make a change from the past... to show that she's already over it.

I don't think he has any right to be embarrassed, he got his removed after all. :P~

People are weird. XD

yes, but again, that's media's fave put-word-in-your-mouth style of writing. I'm just doing my job following the article. No bad will. :innocent

i think its perfectly fine.. i mean.. ayu and tomoya already broke.. the tattoo serves no purpose anymore and ayu is free to modify it or remove it!!

ayu cant be leaving the tattoo on her shoulder for remembrance sake right? haha..

Its not like she just suddenly and purposely revealed it. >_> If Tomoya removed his, then there's no need to feel embarrassed.

Well she probably edited it because the relationship was over and she still liked the tattoo. Somehow I feel that both are feeling that their relationship didn't get closure or something though...

I thought that Ayu´s tatoo were one of those that are not permanent, I didn´t know she had a permanent one... I don´t like much tatooes....:thud:thud:thud

chance... :P 10x ^^

Its pretty funny but he doesn't need to feel embarrassed since they moved on.

so, that's real tattoo -_-

Well, Ayu's kinda doing a 'revenge' eh?
But I love the idea close the past and making a new you

exactly. what a *******...or the writer...what a ******* lol


and um yeah the tattoo is real? wth, people still doubted?

god...is it the same deal as with ayu smoking and drinking? :rolleyes

Hah! That is interesting! I think in a way, she is kinda saying "See, I don't need you anymore, I'm AYUMI HAMASAKI and this is who I am!" Seeing as how she turned it into her ten year anniversary symbol, which I happen to really like. :) I just think it's interesting because she never mentioned that she actually had that done, did she? She just did it, didn't tell anyone, then shows it off to surprise us. :D

Wow, he got his removed?
Ouch.

I don't think it's revenge at all :S
That'd be silly.

I doubt she wanted to get back at him, she doesn't seem like a jealous housewife, she probably just felt complete for some reason and I guess it's none of our business.

Lol the media is silly. >_< I don't think ayu was getting any kind of revenge. She simply moved on and instead of having a half heart that once represented something special she simply changed it to a full heart to represent maybe many things. . . Her 10th year Anniversary or possibly just a complete heart to show she's closed that chapter of her life.

I'd do the same thing. Anyhow Thanks very much for sharing <3

Thanks for sharing! Sure this is really interesting...

I just kinda figured she put on some extra removable for the 10th anniversary kinda like she did with the Secret cover before... We whont really know if its all real or not unless she tells us i suppose.

I don't think Ayu's the kind of "take revenge".

I think it's great that, rather then removing it she changed it to work with her life at the moment. Honestly, I think that shows she moved on, instead of trying to forget what happened and erasing it >.>;;

I don't think she got that tattoo to get back at her ex. It was to commemorate her 10th anniversary in the music industry. From what I've heard she and Tomoya are still friends. Did she not say something like that in one of her TA messages? I might be wrong so don't take my words for it. She described the relationship as "brother & sister-like"? To me, I don't think Ayumi Hamasaki is the kind of person who would try and get revenge. At least I'm pretty sure that wasn't her intention in changing the tattoo design. For one thing they've already broken up, so why have such a painful keepsake as a reminder? If anything keeping it would just be deceiving herself. As people put it she's moved on. Who knows what happened between them. We can only speculate.

Hahaha lol. Just like I said, she owns him. Mehehe. You go girl! ;)

But to be serious, I think she just played smart offcourse. I mean, to take it off is veery painful and often leaves ugly scars after. Better of to use it for herself, to modify it and make it into something that symbols herself and her 10th anni. :)

I think Ayu did it because she want to. it maybe has noting to do with her ex. and it's better to makeover than the other way. i like her new tatoo^^

Wow Ayu u should b ashamed!

I just wish she'd show it off, like on her next album or something. Now that would really make him blue in the face...^-^

Maybe it just looked odd being half after they broke up, so she had it filled. Big whoop. The media likes to turn everything into some major headline. :yawn

Now that I think about it...why didn't we see this tattoo on the Secret cover? The one she had prior to changing it to the one she has now. They digitally modified it with the horse I'm guessing...anyway a photoshoot like that would perfectly show off her 10th anniversary tattoo. It'd be cool if she did something similar. I've personally never known she had any sort of tattoo. I'm kind of surprised she would get such a blatant one too...right smack on her shoulder. Very bold if I must say so myself.

What did he expect her to do? I mean, what reason would she have to keep it in the first place. He was able to move,and so should Ayu!!

Did people really think that she was going to leave it as it was?

Her old tattoo IS there. It makes the shoulder of the horse's leg. They just connected it into the whole flying horse henna tattoo.

oh so he removed it already...i just find the part with him perspiring kinda funny
ah~ i love tabloid articles
well if ayu really did want to get back at him, she could just release a single called HIT (if you rearrange the letters, it would be IHT, i hate tomoya :D

Holy crap lol. That's pretty clever. Time to take a closer look at some HQ scans of that cover. Thanks!

LOL X°°°°DD HIT~IHT very clever thought...funny!!!!

If anything, Tomoya completely removing his tattoo should be the more hurtful thing. Although it's understandable since he is in a new serious relationship now.


ps. I do think its odd though that finally this year she decided to show it.

i know.... i kinda wanna see Tomoya's blue face XD

wait... is there a link where we can see the performance?

power to Ayu!

this kind of thing happened when ayu and her private life became publicity material, lol !

I 'm agree with you!

I think it's just Ayu celebrating her 10th anniversary plus saying that everything is over with Tomoya and she's doing great while remembering such memories they had together.

Media from other countries often take an unrelated issue and turn it into something interesting to gain more viewers :P.

Almost all chinese written articles on Ayu are rumor and fakey :P

Luckily when they're in love ayu's shoulder wasn't written 'Tomoya Nagase'
That would be so stupid IMO

i think this was a bit blown up by the media, as usual.
and it's not like she revealed the "new" tattoo now for the very first time.
and i really don't see any reason for Tooya to feel embaressed because of her changing the tatoo. it's like saying that he embaressed Ayu by removing his, and that's also just stupid.

I don't like tomoya anyway lol

It seems the media may be making a big deal out of nothing... he was probably looking uncomfortable because he had to go to the bathroom or something.

But, ouch! He got that tattoo removed :(

~_~
its really weird article...

Ayu pretty much defined more clearly she's over the past and keeping her focus on other things. Must have been a slow news day when written. Tomoya embarrased when he removed his? :shakehead

That's funny. Gotta love tabloids. Ayu has moved on and made the tattoo her own, which is awesome! :D

I think Tomoya should really be embarrassed at that fact that. He just might have turned Ayu Lesbian.

thanks for the translation Issac

... Ayu and Tomoya were on the same show?... Uh... anyone know what show that is?

Thanks for your information ! it's up to Ayu , if she like that , i'll always be in favor of her

i knew this was some tabloid...lol..
they think too much

lol i want to watch the full FNS show and see tomoya's face!! XP
but then again, the press has nothing better to talk about, local chinese papaers here always like to dig on AYU being a diva whenever they ran out of topics!! XO

It's great that Ayu's tattoo becomes full heart emphasizing that "It's OVER and now I'm full again"

i believe it was FNS
ayu sang Days and SEASONS?

and TOKIO sang amegasa..i think @_@

thanks for the translation

yeah if they had really move on, he wouldn't be embarrassed. And i guess ayu modified her tattoo for her 10th anniversary :yes

i don't think Ayu's trying to get back at Tomoya, Ayu has also been revealing the tattoo during her asia tours.

and i thought modifying the tattoo was a good idea! more so than removing it~.

Maybe the tattoo just look weird half-open...

Well her other "half" isn't with her anymore so I'd say so.

well if you were asking me, did tomoya REALLY said that he was embaressed? Hell I can't even find the picture saying he LOOKED embaressed....... it's all media cooked-up I guess. but again it's still worth a read cause at least it said about the history of ayu's tattoo.

if you guys really wanna investigate, digging deeper into this stuff, well, try checking out WHY ayu and tomoya broke up. Some said that ayu was cheating on tomoya, others say vice versa..... well, ayu never did bother clarifying unless the rumor went chain reaction next to a nuclear explosion like the last time that pregnancy hoax thingy.

I guess ayu is a lady with a "dare to hate, dare to love" kind of personality. You wouldn't wanna mess around with her. (damn it would I? I am like worshipping her already!) >_<

BTW removing the tattoo is PAINFUL (if you use laser that is).

I appreciate the fact that you guys discussing my article, actually. I can't thank you guys enough for that.

It's a very interesting article. I'm going to say the whole "Tomoya is embarassed" thing is something the media conjured up. Where can we find how they broke up and why though =|. The only sources would be from...the media, and we all know the story with that. Unless Ayu comes out one day on her TA blog and tells us what really happened between them. I have no idea where I heard this but I recall her saying they are still close friends...like a brother-sister thing and they still go on dates. Don't take my word for it. I can't seem to remember where I saw this. Anyway she did tell us about the death of her friend, and that was pretty personal. To me this is just as personal so who knows. If something prompts her she might...in the end it's her personal life. I'm not going to go out of my way and try to dig something up about her private life. Only unless I see it here hehe.

Chances of getting back together again ?

Slim to none.

Ayu modifying the tattoo ... just means Slim just walked out the door.

I wouldn't say revenge, but why else would Ayu show a tattoo she knew meant something to their relationship when he was sitting right next to the stage? She showed it knowing he would see it, and it shocked him to see that he's not the only one who can let go of the past.

End of story, and lol at "perspiring embarrasment".

I did notice the tattoo in the performance, but I didn't notice it was a full heart! o.o haha

I agree. There didn't seem to be anything off about him at all anytime they showed him during FNS (which was quite a few times.)

LOL So dramatized. XD
I wouldn't care less. D;

Me the same as you thought too. I hate tattooes..:no When the first time I saw her with the tattoo, I thought it was not a permanent one. But then, I read more and more about her, then I know the truth:grumpy.

I am never hope that Ayu and Tomoya will be a couple again. I hate when they are together:shakehead. I would really love to if Ayu marrying with the White man with the blonde hair:luv2. So, their babies will be like her, a blonde hair, but natural:P

That and...he just doesn't seem like a bad guy to me; like one of those a-hole. Unless I read something he did that's confirmed by a very credible source, I can't make him out to be one. They were together for quite a long time too...everything is just rumors at this point. I mean no one really knows what happened and why they broke it off. I kind of think it's not fair that some people make him out to be the bad guy, even if he did break the heart of our diva.

Lol I hope Ayu bases her decision on more than just that...

Yeah, that post probably gave me my biggest laugh today. I love the bluntness of it. :)

I like COMPLETE Anniversary version way better! <3
