If they're apologizing, it proves that the police is right in investigating this incident and trying to find whoever was to be blamed on this. The lack of planning could even have put ayu's life in danger, so it surprises me how fans get so touchy over the subject, thinking this was something to be overlooked. The police is not the one blowing this out of proportion, they're just investigating the matter because it indeed caused an issue. The media and ayu's sensitive fans are the ones blowing this out of proportion, the first by putting it stamped all over (but then, really, she's a celebrity so it's expected that media can work like a double edged knife), and the latter by saying this is being taking too far. ayu's reply was also sort of inconsiderate and up to misinterpretation, egoistically disdaining a public interest decision as if her egoistical needs are more important than other people's rights. She should be more careful before making public speeches (she has a brain after all and shouldn't let her diva moments get all control of her vocal chords), or else she might hurt her career like koda kumi did. Oh but "that's how ayu is", yeah, but that's how koda was, and now she can barely sell a spoon with her name (before that, all >35 yo women were naming their babies "kuu"
)
