I would of thought when celebrities made a Facebook, they'd get lots of help in making sure it was private...she got found out it was actually her within mere days of her using it, despite the many fake "Ayumi Hamasaki"'s on Facebook - plus her profile picture was her butt? I don't know, I think she did all of this in a pretty naive way and if she wasn't sure about who could see her information she should of asked someone who did. I'm sure many of her colleagues use Facebook and would of been more than happy to help. It's easy to make your profile fully private.
I'm surprised AVEX staff didn't go over it with her when she had to admit on TA that it was her profile. She's allowed her privacy but as a celebrity, she unfortunately cannot take it for granted that everyone will understand. Fans get excited and obviously so did her friends. It's the downside to being a celebrity that unfortunately no one can change. I feel that she's probably got another Facebook with a fake name and will probably be a little more careful at being anonymous on such a popular social site.
It's a shame of course that she couldn't be Ayumi Hamasaki, but I don't know what else she expected. As a celebrity, it's just not possible. I don't think it's constructive to start blaming the fans since people just got excited, and did not mean any harm.
I think Ayu herself mentioned this topic in a famous interview, when she said although her and her friends and family see the two seperate parts of her clearly - "Ayumi" and "Ayumi Hamasaki" - the fans do not, she will always be "Ayumi Hamasaki" the celebrity to them, and she's come to understand that. I think it was when she was talking about the huge crowd that formed when she publicly went shopping for jeans? I can't remember.
