I was also really surprised when ayu mentioned her mother as her "idol".

But that doesn't mean that she couldn't have cared for her daughter. Praise her, scold her... ayu worked hard to support her family, too. She's in the industry since she was 7 or 9 years old.
And I doubt "Dearest" is about Nagase. Because "but sadly people are able to forget" is something that would be said after a parting.
