She can't really pretend she's a reguar person and cry about having a normal life, unless she doesn't want to be a star anymore (and even so, given her fame, it would take quite some time for people to dissociate both). artists who want to have a regular person's life are dellusional about the profession they have. It's like someone being the president of a country and saying they want to have a normal life with no pressure from the populationb and the media. Some tools always come with the whole package and you can't order it separately. And I believe ayu knows that well.

I know what you mean, and I guess it's just sad at times when you're all rich and famous but you can't even do simple things like walking around the streets~

My thought would be she got carried away with the event that she thought it would be all right to just walk around and all that... yeah. So it's definitely partly her fault... but the media imo is blowing things up.

As in a fine and a warning would work fine, why go through all these trouble?

P.S: I thought ayumi hamasaki = person and Ayu = singer/artiste? Lol.
