Wow. That took a while to read through. The AyuxMax relationship doesn't surprise me at all considering the rumors and pictures have been going around for so many years. I don't care at all that Ayu is involved in releasing this kind of book. "Any publicity is good publicity," and as mentioned before in this thread, it does perfectly coincide with the whole TROUBLE album/tour theme, so I'm sure this was planned out. I do hope she gets a boost from this seeing as how the book is selling well even if it's just people's morbid curiosity. Hopefully we'll see some new music from her soon. All I know is, I love Ayu, and I really don't see her doing anything so heinous that will ever change that for me.
