And they did have permission for the event. The problem is the scope or the range in which they can use the area. When Ayu started walking around, that went beyond the scope. That caused road blocks that were unintended.

I would say more here, but I don't want to farthur repeat myself since I already explain my views earlier. But I want to thank you for trying to understand. I rather have someone understand and disagree with me, and not someone agreeing with me while not understand what I'm saying. Thank you.
I think I understand a bit more, so you're saying that permission or not, the presence of Ayu cause the range in which they could use to expand and unintended roads were blocked? (I hope I'm understanding you correctly). And you feel she should have known better and made absolute sure that proper measures were taken to make sure everyone was safe?

If that's what you're saying, I must say I still disagree. For example:

Spoiler:

During the 4th of July in my city, pretty much everyone gathers around the harbor. I'm not sure the estimated amount of people who attend, but I'm sure it's well in the thousands. But occasionally there's a special event (for arguments sake, let's say it's the Deji Deji event lol) that's held which could draw many more people to the harbor. The streets are seriously deadlocked. And sometimes unintended roads are blocked. It would seriously take you an hour or more to get somewhere it took you five minutes on a clear day. But since this person who attracted all of these people (let's say Ayu) is at this event, she is (partly) to blame because the event organizer did not do their job to make sure that proper measures were taken to help clear the streets?

I mean shouldn't traffic control, the police, even the public be organized and prepared before the event? I know for one particular event in my city, they informed everyone via internet, radio and TV of what was going on and how to prepare for the event... I'm sure Kodansha informed everyone the Deji Deji event was going on, but in the interest of safety I think it's the event planners job to inform authorities and plan a proper safety procedure before the artists or whatever even shows up. Ayu was only there for a few minutes, do you really think it's her responsibility to take time out and do traffic control? She mentioned she was going to leave a lot of things up to her staff now, I would assume this would definitely be one of those things lol. I bet she won't do it again though Sorry this is longer than I intended lol.
