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.

Good points made. I think (or hope) Ayu will elaborate more on everything in the future, and maybe the real reason will come out. I have a hard time believing she would do it as a PR stunt because it almost feels betraying, doesn't it? :/ Time will tell, and I hope Ayu is doing okay.
