Some Japanese comment that she used to attract attention by her music, not by her personal life.

Ayumi's main selling point and marketing strategy was NEVER the music itself though. Even in her early days it were the lyrics, then later it was an image, then constant reinvention. She doesn't even particularly draw attention to herself right now, other people are giving her the attention by making something simple and common into a big deal.

Well, when these things (deafness, marriage, divorce, starting to date) happen to celebs, they usually make news regardless of if they want it to or not.

When talking about "music" I think lyrics count in that too...

Ayu could have also kept the marriage news a secret or I don't know just not get married at all? Cause it clearly wasn't gonna last. That was seriously such a ******* attention ***** move especially after her low profile relationship with Nagase.

If you think about it, she probably just wanted to make things clear (as Ayu always does) rather than have people speculating. "Who is that Caucasian male with her? A lover? A new friend? Why is she acting so lovey dovey with that dancer? Are they in a relationship? Is she pregnant?" The low key nature of the relationship with Nagase was probably mostly because he's a part of Johnny's Entertainment more than anything. If he were not also a pop star, I wonder if she'd have been more open about it.

I'm pretty sure some people and tabloids thought Timmy was potentially one of her new lovers if they had no idea who he was since he tags along with her essentially EVERYWHERE SHE GOES.

Getting married is a "******* attention ***** move"? And I guess we should all be sad that Ayumi didn't predict the end of her marriage early enough to just break off a relationship that was apparently perfectly fine at that time.

time is meaningless.
When you meet the right person you just know.
Things happened that she had no control over and it just didnt work out, but that doesnt mean they shouldnt have gotten married.
Fans that think she shouldnt have done it have feelings of entitlement that they shouldnt even have.

i still disagree. you can't get to fully know someone in just that short amount of time imo especially for someone like ayu who has a busy/crazy life.

it was doomed from the start and all those pathetic tweets mannie made post divorce only proved it didn't end well at all.

you must have never been in love or your just really young.
You dont get to know someone completely before you marry them. You get to know them and grow together through out the time that you know them.
People constantly evolve and never stay the same. To wait to completely know someone, youll just die alone because you will NEVER know someone completely.

but yes. I realize that isthisLOL is right... just a troll (and I loath to use that word).

And I have no idea what you could mean by 'your kind'

being "in love" isn't the same for everyone so what does me ever being in love have to do with this? i've had so many friends be together with someone for like 2 weeks and say they were "in love" but break up a month later oop. you can know someone for only 2 months and have a marriage last a lifetime...for the average person that's not the case tho and don't try and deny it or else there wouldn't be such a stigma about marrying someone you "just met". that stigma exists for a reason and it clearly didn't work for ayu


and now i'm a troll for thinking what everyone else thought besides the crazy ayu stans that's cool i guess.

no, your a troll because you're contradictory and your insulting.
You said it yourself love is different with everyone, which is why I said what I said. If you had ever been in love you would know what Im talking about and would know that 'what makes sense' is pointless when it comes to love.
You are holding ayumi up on some pedestal because what? She famous? She makes music? What you are saying is that because of who she, she can't do the human thing and fall in love with some random person and marry them in five months.
And actually for the 'average person' statistically for the people that just met and married quickly tend to have longer marriages then those that have dated for years and then married.
look it up.

The person who bought ASfXX for the music/Ayu's voice needs to win an award.
