If that happened, there's not much to criticize because she was honest and paid the fine like what any good citizen would do. However, her reaction did not display that and the media will pick up on that and turn it into something it should not have been. That was my concern and this is my way to show concern for Ayu, so please do not misinterpret what I said.

I don't understand, no one expected that big of a turn out and there were no reported safety issues that we know of, but because whoever was in charge (which we now know was not her) of the event didn't obtain proper permission you want
her to acknowledge she didn't realize or "forgot" when it wasn't her job to realize or remember in the first place? I'm not trying to be over defensive, I'm just struggling to grasp your point... =/
I mean if they got the permission and there was the same
exact outcome, would you expect her to do the same thing?
And if you're saying that she didn't acknowledge in the quote she supposedly gave to the tabloid, 1) that could have been taken out of context 2) the way I interpret it, she felt she didn't need specific permission to be there because she thought it was already taken care of, so she should be able to go where she wants (for the event or for whatever was cleared to her knowledge). You don't have to agree, we obviously view it two totally different ways.
