I know this will sound a bit...mean, but it's Ayu's responsibility to be back in time for things.

And she failed to hold up her end of the deal. I understand she couldn't do anything about it, but considering she already knew she -had- to be back in Japan for Music Station, why didn't they just book a round trip ticket to begin with? It's weird to me. It'd be different if she didn't know when she had to be back, but she already had prior arrangements that needed to be fulfilled and booking a ticket back guaranteeing her a spot would have been a much more responsible thing to do, even if up until now she's always booked tickets last minute.

Also, if the problem with her not coming home in time is because her team couldn't come with her, that's really ridiculous. Ayu doesn't need her entire team to be there in order for her to make a TV appearance.

If she was banned or whatever, I hope she learns something from it. And if not, I still hope she's learned something from all of this.

edit: so they had tickets booked and someone messed up? Whatever the case is, that staff best be fired.

And yeah it is a big deal, especially because she's seen as this huge diva. Even if she was in NY for work and not play, people will say "Why don't you stay in Japan for once?" and stuff like that.
