She's always been the type to say that, and if she'd just said: "Okay okay, I did something wrong, it's totally my fault, etc." I don't think that'd feel right since that's not "Ayu". It simply isn't her to be submissive or whatever when she knows that she's the one ~in the right~.
It's just rather sad that some of you are blasting Ayu for 'acting like a child' when she's just acting the way she always acts.
Perhaps this was the goal of whoever started this news story up. To get one side of people super pissed at Ayu for no reason whatsoever and one side really defensive. Well, looks like they succeeded...
Also; it's rather weird that when the 8,000 people appeared a month+ ago, people didn't really think much of what happened, and then now that the police are involved, some people are all up in arms like Ayu committed some sort of offensive crime. Do you call being a celebrity a crime or something? If so, there'd be like thousands of people in jail right now, haha.
I do find it strange that 8,000 people seemed to materialize from nowhere though. Ayu always goes out with her security to go on the shinkansen and stuff, and there's always a small group of people waiting, but 8,000? I wonder if it was just people acting on their human nature of ~crowding~.

I completely agree. Remember for Sept 11, she said she would apologize for the way she lived up until then, and a song is born was the only thing she could offer. She doesnt apologize for her life, she doesnt have to.
I find it sad that these people who watches Ayu through computer screens or television screens for entertainmment, feel they have the to treat her like a second rate citizen, and ask her to give up her rights of free will.
Just because she entertains you, she has to give up the rights and freedoms awarded to her as a human being and entertain you?? They sound just like the Avex scandals, when she was being forced around. This is exactly what she wanted to portray in Alterna pv.
People forget that she has always said that she doesnt care about being famous, or being a fashion leader, that she didn't set out to be one. She wears what she wants, that's it. So these people who call her diva, etc. Maybe you should learn a bit more about her.
She has also said that she knows one day her fame will go out, especially in song lyrics of vogue.. but people forget that.
I stand by my sentence in which I said, she should not apologize for exercising her right of freedom for walking in Shibuya and going into stores. I again ask you to step into her shoes, and restrict yourself from going to your favorite places for so many months, and see how you could survive.
The event could not just have been spontaneous; they had a canvas and stage area set up; It was the responsibility of her PR managers and Shibuya 109 mall, since Shibya 109 was the place of the event, and must have been authorized by the mall. It was not Ayumi's responsibility, since she specifically has PR managers and assistants for this reason, and paying them. Have some common sense, Ayumi cannot do everything, and is not expected to do everything. Ayumi was there for 3 minutes, not an extended period of time.
And yeah, it is so interesting how one month ago, everyone was so happy that this happened, and now, most people on this board are saying how stupid or how immature she is.
Maybe you should reevaluate who the immature person is.
