Either Ayu didn't plan for her future at all, or she had second thoughts. I go with the latter. I think the marriage was an act of passion, and when the passion cooled off, she was like, "this isn't what I want after all." It's a very human situation, so I don't begrudge her at all. If anything, it shows again how she's a real person and not some Goddess.

Yep, this is just pretty much exactly what I think.

And @Coelcanth, I do not know if I believe that all those things were like cold calculated PR moves by Avex, but I do agree that especially over the last few years, the timing of her big announcements have been convenient so it definitely leaves things open to suspicion. As you said, she could be much more low profile about her personal life if she wanted to be.
