Quote: [News] 01.01.2011 Ayumi Hamasaki To Marry Actor Manuel Schwarz
Singer Ayumi Hamasaki (32) has announced that she will soon get married. According to statements she made on her Twitter account and on her fan club website just after the start of the new year, she will be tying the knot with Austrian actor Manuel Schwarz (30).
Hamasaki met Schwarz in August of last year. At that time, Schwarz (who is also known as Mannie) played her husband in the music video for her song "Virgin Road." Then in October, he appeared in two more of her music videos, for the songs "Love Song" and "Last angel." Within those two months, the two became very close, frequently exchanging e-mails and phone calls.
On December 31, Hamasaki performed "Virgin Road" as the opening act of NHK's Kouhaku Uta Gassen, wearing a white wedding dress. After that, she headed to Yoyogi National Gymnasium for her own countdown concert. However, she decided to wait until after those performances before announcing the news of her marriage online.
Hamasaki's management has acknowledged her announcement. Although she does not have any upcoming work in her schedule at the moment, it is said that she does not plan on retiring. It is also reported that she is not pregnant.

My love for my family,
my love for my friends,
my love for my staff,
and, my love for TA.
These kinds of love and how I show them are all different, but love takes many forms.
I, Ayumi Hamasaki, as an individual, and as a woman, have found yet another irreplaceable kind of love.
We are in a place that is closest to forever**, for sure.
Mannie, who played the husband in Virgin Road, is going to be my real husband in real life!
