Ayumi Hamasaki is the gift that keeps on giving. From her bizarre marriages and divorces to foreigners, to her ex-boyfriend's porn debut, and her ever-more desperate attempts to revive her career, there's always something new to say about her.
But she hasn't been on our radar for a while. Where has she been? Courting more foreign men? Getting more plastic surgery?
Eating well, it seems, judging by these pictures.
This is Ayu at an arena concert in Yokohama, wearing a costume that showed off her newly voluptuous figure.
Many have remarked online about how ...
Maro (Maroka Uchiyama) was one of Ayumi Hamasaki's dancers. He and Hamasaki started dating while she was on the rebound from divorcing her husband Manuel Schwarz in 2012.
However, the fling lasted only until 2013, since when Maro became famous for being famous -- and sometimes appeared on TV talk shows to spill the beans on the breakup.
Clearly his career is going in another direction now since Maro has just made his porn debut. Here are some highlights.
Japan is the world's biggest producer of porn, though it suffers from a ...
With the ink on her 2012 divorce to an Austrian actor still fresh, singer Ayumi Hamasaki is rumored to have taken up with another "white" lover.
The pair were spotted at a luxury resort in Bali, where they apparently shared the same hotel suite.
Ayumi seems to have been around for an eternity, though she is only a mere 34 years old. Last year she had a relationship with a dancer, but it was over before it even really registered.
She had a notorious short-lived marriage to Austrian actor Manuel Schwarz, which ended in late 2011/early 2012, ostensibly due to Ayumi wanting to spend ...
Just weeks after her divorce possibly over her husband's gay nude photo shoot, Ayumi Hamasaki is back with a new album out, something like her millionth release. And it deliberately seems to reveal a very sexy side to the doll-like princess.
Ayumi is no strange to tantalizing us, having previously done quite risque photos. But this new album cover flaunts her posterior like she's got nothing to lose. Well, actually, she almost doesn't. Her career is at a low and her love life is hardly a success.
So, she strips down and gets sticks her still-pert-after-all-these-years ass in the air ...
Ayumi Hamasaki surprised the entertainment just over a year ago by announcing her sudden marriage to an Austrian model and actor who had starred in one of her music videos.
Hamasaki's sales have ailed in recent years and we speculated that perhaps she might retire and start a family.
The latest twist is that Ayumi and Manuel Schwarz are already divorced! Less than a year is not a great length for any marriage, to be sure, but Ayumi officially blames the March 11th earthquake, which forced her to stay in Japan and remain close to her beloved fans. Rather than move to America with ...
In a quick private Las Vegas ceremony at A Little White Chapel on January 1st, Ayumi Hamasaki married a foreigner.
That is to say she married Manuel Schwartz, an Austrian actor who has been living in Los Angeles. Yahoo Daily News also reports that the two met during the filming of Hamasaki's new wedding anthem "Virgin Road".Ironically enough, he plays her husband in the video. Here's a short clip as AVEX has blocked the full video from appearing on Youtube.
This is quite big news in Japan as, generally speaking, Japanese celebrities almost never marry foreigners. We'll have to ...
Well, a sign of a flagging career or just plain inevitability... Ayumi Hamasaki, the biggest pop star in Japan, has finally posed for some risque shots in a fashion magazine.
Though she's hardly in the Yuuri Morishita league with these images, it's still satisfying to see the 31-year old star finally showing some ...
