Hang on, now, is that really fair?
I felt super weird about Ayu's shotgun wedding, too, and didn't understand what was going on with any of it. You know, though, the intricacies and authenticity of their relationship, if you want to make that the object of the conversation here, is not something that I think it's fair of us to criticize at this point - Ayu - and Mannie - have gone through a painful process with this divorce crap, whatever their relationship history before. I can say nothing about the Love Songs era events, but at this point, I don't think it's fair to say Ayu's using this whole affair "to make money." She's an artist; she's using her music, etc. to sort out her feelings and come to terms with events.
The point some people made about when this song was written/when the PV was filmed in relation to Ayu's actual divorce, however, is, frankly, yes, pretty...erm, awkward. :-/
