It's not going to affect Ayu, we all know she's stronger than that. She can deal with the scrutiny. And someone's particular views on her personal life isn't a measure of how "good" or "bad" a fan is, so everyone needs to stop with that nonsense as well.
It probably has to do with me being a huge Michael Jackson fan, that I'm so distrustful. Point is, you need to be careful when you're as wealthy and successful as someone like Ayu. I'm sure people understand that it's her own life and she needs to be allowed to make her own decisions and make her own mistakes. It doesn't mean they're not going to have thoughts or feelings about her personal decisions. Y'all that are happy for her ARE still actively involved in discussing her personal matters, so don't act like everybody with a negative opinion needs to "mind their own business." Please.

The point of this thread wasn't to close the discussion on the indifference or negativity towards the announcement. I simply wanted to open the discussion on why do fans care so much. I personally hope that this marriage works. If it doesn't, it doesn't. I'm more interested in why it seems like fans like to think they know what's best for people they idolize. It's a fair question.
Sure, people can have different opinions about her love life. And people can have opinions on other people's opinions. Fans come in all different shapes and sizes. If someone believes that fans are being hypocritical, then they have the right to call them out on it. How is that nonsense? Personally, I think that people should have a little more faith in people.
There's one difference between Michael Jackson and Ayumi Hamasaki. Ayu isn't a naive man-child. I love Michael Jackson's music, but let's be honest, he wasn't exactly the smartest thing around when it came to trusting people and being in charge of his assets.
And let's be clear about it: what fans of Ayu know about how she has lived her life is only what she chooses to reveal to fans. I believe that there is so much more she doesn't let people know. It's an illusion to think that you know someone intimately when you don't know that person in real life.
