Ayu's Twitter/Weibo Discussion #30

His whole shebang with the media seems like a big pity party. It's immature, and unkind to Ayu and the other women--and child--involved. If he's trying to milk what attention he can garner from the brief breakup headline (which, aside from those of us who devour any news about Ayu, is not exactly breaking news) to try to bolster his upcoming attempt to break out in the music world...well, good luck. They say all press is good press, but I'm not so convinced. :-/ He just looked pathetic to me.

The only bad thing said about Ayu was the "I don't like her" from Mrs Dewi lol
But that's her character and there is nothing wrong about it... I mean she "hates" a lot of people ;p

Now we know the reason behind Ayu's TA message in the start of January. The one in which she said she was deceived. Did the press talk about Maro's child in december? I remember something like that, with a pic. If Ayu heard about his child & wife via press, it's really awful.

[SKYia]

Mrs Dewi is like Tsukasa's mother from Hana Yori Dango

Itou Yukari is so pretty despite being 66 and she used to be so gorgeous back in her 20's

Coming back to Maro, not telling Ayu about the wife and kid seems even more cruel with the gossips about him actually being married and having kids, what if Ayu heard the rumors long time ago and asked him and he said it's not true somewhere in the past and then once they started dating he decided to be honest. Or maybe Ayu wanted another quick wedding and he has to tell her Anyway, he must be really 'hurt' that he's not he boyfriend anymore, he's too desparate in showing his version of what happened / bash Ayu as if not bashing her (because despite him not saying anything bad the very fact that he keeps the interest about their breaking up is similar to bashing for me).

[saigodansu]

I wouldn't worry about her being hurt by the news. From the beginning when the tabloid had way too much information about her stays in Hawaii and LA for tabloids to have without it being told to them by her staff, the whole thing has seemed staged for publicity for Ayu. Just because it turns out he was also needing publicity to go solo, does not mean they were not both fully aware of all of the details. The press has only met with her once in recent years in Hawaii and has never followed her to LA. Any info and pics released come from her staff, not a tabloid photographer.

Thanks for sharing.
Like Yagami_Raito said, Maro did not say anything bad about Ayu. And he said he had never mentioned his wife and child to Ayu so he doesn't know whether she knew or not. Aside from that, he doesn't mention Ayu at all.

Okay, did you not read the part where I said I don't actually pity him? He made a choice, as did Ayu, and now they both have to live with the consequences of their choice. Don't eat my face off because you hate him.

I did read that part, yes. I'm sorry if it came off that way, but the comment wasn't meant to be aggressive, nor as an attack on you. After the first line, it was meant to be commenting generally at no one in particular. If it sounds heated, it's because I was upset with the whole business, not with you.

Right now he doesn't, but he still implied it was her fault he was homeless/jobless/suicidal/omnivore on her ass. He's still playing on her for publicity because he's irrelevant otherwise.

[Kazeyomi]

Saying disgusting was maybe too much but even if he doesn't bashed Ayu, for me Maro still looks like an attention seeker.

I don't hate him though, I'm not such a stan who hate everyone hurts mah qween, but this whole drama is annoying and somewhat fishy (I'm talking about his wife and son).

[ComatoseBunnySnatcher]

^ its not about being a stan, he's just a slimy person.

[emi♡]

omnivore lol

Apology accepted, but if that was the case I don't really understand why you would quote me in the first place :S

Its hard to say how much of the issue was Maro's fault versus Ayu's fault. We were not there. Yes, it was bad of him to not tell Ayu about his wife and kids. However, he was man enough to admit that was his mistake. Previous to that, I was under the assumption that Ayu knew about his wife and kid. And while I do think he should have waited to start his new "music career" I don't think its surprising for him to continue in the entertainment industry. That's the business he's always been in. But, just like with Ayu's relationship with Mannie, I can't judge anyone because I don't know them personally, nor do I have all the facts.

Ayu RT Timmy's tweet that is related to Acollection. Timmy covered How beautiful you're are.

[Kirshwasser]

i like ayumi's version much better

[Livey~]

^ that's for sure XD

[MeltingCORE]

I don't think Timmy has a bad voice or anything, but I do prefer Ayu's version.

[BlackSilence]

something about his vocals just annoy the hell out of me, he has a voice that's for sure, but this sounds like someone is pinching his nose, too nasal for me, and i can't believe i will say that cuz i am sucker for that part of vocal ability but THERE'S TOO MUCH vibrato. And i mean, it's never too much for me but if i say it is it really is TOO MUCH lol

I prefere Ayu's.

[pommy48]

Eh meh...something feels really flat about it


Didn't he compose the song?

I think it sounds great! His voice is great!!

I would like to hear what other songs he can sing.

Edit: I mean, goodness, the more I listened to it the more I liked it. He has such a pretty voice.

[AyuGAME]

even though he compose it, but the lyrics is coming from Ayu, and i think lyrics is the most important thing to build the emotion of the song

i don't like the way he sing as well...opera style? but half way done
