What Did I Tell You? Ayumi Hamasaki Gets a Divorce

I predicted it. It barely lasted a year. In fact, they didn't even really live together. Ayumi Hamasaki and the Big Lebowski have filed for divorce. Actually, it might seem crass that I laugh about a divorce (forgive me) but this is a celebrity divorce and, frankly speaking, it never really struck me as a sincere marriage anyway.


But, then again, who am I to judge? I am divorced twice! That shows what a total hypocritical loser I am.




Anime News Network has the story:


Singer Ayumi Hamasaki announced on her official fan club site "Team Ayu" on Tuesday that she is getting divorced from Manuel Schwarz, an Austrian actor. She is filing for the divorce in America on Monday (which would be Tuesday in Japan). The two had gotten married in a Las Vegas chapel on New Year's Day last year.

Hamasaki performed theme songs for InuyashaConnected, and SHINOBI - Heart Under Blade, and she voice-acted as Yuri Sakazaki in Art of Fighting (Battle Spirits Ryuko no Ken).
Well, I predicted it because, well, it was predictable.


Hopefully these two people will find their soul mates someday.

  1. The twist was that she blamed the March 11 2011 eartsunucleatastrophe (9.0 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis) on their break-up. Ironically, a 7.0 earthquake struck Tokyo pretty hard on January 1st 2012 on the day of their wedding anniversary. A gaijin named Josh Sehrer made a film about March 11 2011 called 'Japanese Girls Worship Me'. He sings Ayu's song Never Ever but changes "kimi wa nani o inoru" to "kimi wa nanimo inoru", as Japanese can be seen evacuating a siren-blasted Shibuya.

  2. That heartless bastard only married her for cash and fame.

Comments must be succinct & relevant to the story. Comments are checked frequently and abusive, rude or profane comments will be deleted. I’m just one of many bloggers who answer questions online and sometimes for the press. I usually handle questions about Japan, marketing or the economy, so in those areas I’m more likely to make sense and less likely to say something really stupid. If I post something here that you find helpful or interesting, that’s wonderful. This is my personal blog. If you don't like what you have read here then, just like when you go into a restaurant or bar that allows smoking, if you don't like it, there's something at the front that has hinges on it and it is called a "door."
