Wrong suggests that what Ayumi did was morally unacceptable - her having to pay for her actions does, too. That's very different from you simply disagreeing with her actions.

Could someone enlighten me what exactly it is that people find so repulsive about this relationship? I just seriously cannot see a problem. Is it the situation that both of them are recently divorced/in the divorce process?

I never brought up that you 'didn't love Ayu', in fact -I- did not bring whether you love her or not into the conversation, I was just asking the question of what is so wrong about her dating Maro/pursuing this relationship?

Is it because she started dating while he was unofficially separated? (for like two years or longer) Is it because she's dating a guy who allegedly has a child with some random model? (which she may not even have known about or may not even be true)

See, if she had been the cause of the divorce or was dating Maro while he was still married (or even when SHE was still married), then I would totally understand and agree that Ayu is doing some sneaky/behind-people's-backs nonsense and Ayu is in the wrong but this seems to me like people not liking Maro for his wrongdoings BUT also projecting it on Ayu.

she never ceases to amaze me.

This seems to be the problem a lot of people are having. I don't think, if you are separated, but have not yet completed a divorce it's completely okay to be seeing other people, because you're separated.

I could be completely wrong, because I also don't see anything wrong with the situation either and am just guessing that's what people think. Also this "drama" reminds me of the Brad/Angelina/Jennifer thing, but who cares about that now? None of those three people had their reputation permanently damaged. This will blow over just as well.

For some people, I think that they believe too many rumors, as opposed to known facts. Like, I see some people posting (not just here) as if they think that Ayu intentionally broke up the marriage. Mind you, Ayu may not be giving full-truths, but a tabloid is likely to fabricate an entire story, so...

And then, I'm sure, there are some people who think that Ayu dating a man who is technically still married on paper is wrong.

exactly.

what i love is how she's actually worried about US being worried for HER. ;_; Aww, Ayu.

So inspiring... Ayu is always such a role-model through hard times. I shall always look at her like my big sister / guru.

And thanks for translating + sharing!

Thanks misa~chan for the translation

No matter what happens, I will support AYU always :)

You should be a comedian.

I don't care what you think.:eviltongu

I feel sorry for Ayu, and what she wrote here is really brave, but she asked for this. She should have done what she's been doing her whole career - keeping her private life as private as possible. That's not to say she shouldn't go to Paris with Maro, or make her relationship public to her fans through TeamAyu, but putting him on the cover of again, I wonder if Ayu thinks in hindsight that wasn't the greatest move and only added fuel to the fire.

I get the feeling Ayu is fed up with being famous, and just wants to live a normal life, but she probably will never be able to. In saying that, I don't think I could ever understand what its like to be in her shoes, to be in the spotlight for that long and have every personal move critisised. I would hate it, and she clearly does too.

thank you Misa

thanks....
i'm proud of the person she became.

Thanks Misa-chan for put the translation here...

I will always support her.... :D

That was very beautiful Ayu, I will always support you

Awww, we love you, Ayu!

Thanks for the translations!

I'll always support her no matter what, and I've gotta admit, there are some fans who are just... Way more disrespectful than her haters. Ayu doesn't deserve fans like them...
