[Blog] Maro & Ayu are dating according to his blog entry

[TeamAyu2004]

^ I do think this is a problem in Japan... either that or the news blows it up...

But I have had friends tell me that girls have to watch themselves on the trains over there...

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I'm a guy, but I'm small (only 5'5), but still, being a male makes me a much lower target for things like this.

Someone grabbed ayu's leg though and wouldn't let go? Like...I'm livid. BRING HIM TO ME NOW.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

It is in fact a problem here. It's called being a chikan (if its a guy doing the molesting) or chijo (if it's a girl).

Happens on trains a lot because they get so crowded and a lot of times people don't report it.

There was a movie made called "sore demo boku wa yattenai / それでも僕はやってない" which is based on a true story about a business man falsely accused of touching a woman on a train, and instead of pleading guilty, which is much easier to do in Japan, he plead not guilty and was found guilty by the court even though he didn't do it and went to jail.

The court system in Japan is really bad. Instead of innocent until proven guilty, it's guilty until proven innocent, but yeah... Kinda off topic.

I just don't want ayu to stop meeting fans, and I CERTAINLY don't want anything to happen to her, and I don't want her to feel like she's unsafe. I wonder where her entourage, like Stan, was when this was happening?

[TeamAyu2004]

^ this was years ago though...

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^What, this incident? Really? That would actually be a relief. I thought it was like, this week.

[TeamAyu2004]

I think saigodansu is saying that is why ayumi wrote
Red Line ~For TA~

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

OK I need clarification then. I thought Misa posted that as a recent blog/diary entry.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Sorry I'm only coming into this discussion so late, but yea, saigodansu was right, ayu did write that she was molested. Here's part of the TA entry which came right after the red bracelet section (28/6/2010):

nevermind...how did I miss the date?! lol

crap, wasn't meant to be a double post. my bad~!

Misa-chan translated that entry, it's on her website. =)

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Awwww I hope she takes the time to rest and get better!

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Wait, I retract my statement about Maro being divorced. There are varying statements in the news. Some articles state that he is divorced, some say his divorce is still not final.

So, I don't know. But obviously he's ready to move on.

[ayu_fantasy]

I can't believe people are debating over such small stuff...

LMAO, basically

[Suteisi]

It's not because the divorce isn't final that things aren't over between them.

My parents were over 5 years before they got divorced....

I think that happened with Virgin Road as well? I wonder why exactly... maybe people are going back to see if they can find 'hints' or something?

As for this relationship and 'announcing it' as opposed to keeping it secret or under wraps... I think it was a smart decision. Better to let the public know yourself than have tabloids create potentially and also likely untrue situations about you and your significant other.

I think Twitter has probably influenced Ayu's 'openness' as before she really got into posting blogs or sharing anything on social media, she only really posted a blog entry once every few months or so. (she also wasn't keen on posting photos of herself on Twitter at first either) She was/is just doing what most people do on Twitter (post pictures of food, photos of her daily life... which at the time involved her significant other) and imo that makes her feel a lot more accessible than say back in 2002-2007 which seems to be when most people 'liked Ayu best' back when she was more mysterious or 'secretive' about herself... which is odd.

[ayu_ready?]

I am happy for her
