Honestly I felt that mentioning the earthquake was in bad taste as well. Partly because that just doesn't make sense. Before the earthquake even happened, she had the Hotel Love Songs tour scheduled, so earthquake or not, she was already planning to be in Japan at that time. I would like her statement a lot more if she had just simply admitted that she made a mistake and that she rushed into marriage too quickly. There really is no good excuse to not see your husband for a year when you have the means and ability to do so.
I also am not dismissing the possibility that this could have been a PR stunt. I would hate to think that though and I remember giving her the benefit of the doubt at the time. I actually thought her marrying a foreigner was a good move because most Japanese men probably wouldn't be able to handle her. But now in retrospect the way the events played out and now her imo, flimsy reasoning in her statement and the fact that the marriage was not even registered in her home country seem to push even more in that direction.
