According to FRIDAY, the rumored couple went to a high class French restaurant and dined there for around three hours eating and sipping wine. In one of the photos, the rumored couple can be seen gazing at each other and holding hands. When they parted, they gave each other a hug. GACKT and Ayumi both appeared to be very happy.

The couple became acquainted through the music festival "a-nation" last year and became closer when they met together with staff to go out and eat. According to officials, their relationship is starting to truly blossom.

When Sankei Sports approached GACKT and Ayumi's companies neither negated the rumor, but said, "It's their private lives and they can do what they wish."
