Hamasaki Ayumi and Avex face investigation by Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department

[truehappiness]

Again, I think this is being blown out of proportion even moreso by the fans than by the media in Japan. I mean, people are making a big deal out of Ayu saying that she should walk where she feels she should. That's just how she is. She's always been the type to say that, and if she'd just said: "Okay okay, I did something wrong, it's totally my fault, etc." I don't think that'd feel right since that's not "Ayu". It simply isn't her to be submissive or whatever when she knows that she's the one ~in the right~.

It's just rather sad that some of you are blasting Ayu for 'acting like a child' when she's just acting the way she always acts.

Perhaps this was the goal of whoever started this news story up. To get one side of people super pissed at Ayu for no reason whatsoever and one side really defensive. Well, looks like they succeeded...

Also; it's rather weird that when the 8,000 people appeared a month+ ago, people didn't really think much of what happened, and then now that the police are involved, some people are all up in arms like Ayu committed some sort of offensive crime. Do you call being a celebrity a crime or something? If so, there'd be like thousands of people in jail right now, haha.

I do find it strange that 8,000 people seemed to materialize from nowhere though. Ayu always goes out with her security to go on the shinkansen and stuff, and there's always a small group of people waiting, but 8,000? I wonder if it was just people acting on their human nature of ~crowding~.
