I don't think Ayu is that cold and conniving, but I 100% do not believe that she ever seriously was going to move to the US. And give up her singing career in Japan? The thing that she has said in multiple interviews that she cannot live without? Nooooo way. If she ever thought about doing this, she obviously regretted it.
Some people have said that her not registering her marriage in Japan is understandable if she planned to move to the US anyway. I disagree, and think it shows hesitation on her part. What would be the harm in registering? In fact, registering seems like the smarter decision anyway, in case her or Mannie's plans change. Either Ayu didn't plan for her future at all, or she had second thoughts. I go with the latter. I think the marriage was an act of passion, and when the passion cooled off, she was like, "this isn't what I want after all." It's a very human situation, so I don't begrudge her at all. If anything, it shows again how she's a real person and not some Goddess.

This quote is
brilliant. Wish i said that myself
Anyway, ambiguity and ambivalence have been always an ayu's signature, as i see it. even her lyrics are usually never that precise or clear, they tend to be vague (and yes, poetic, i won't deny that quality) so this statement, i think, describes
her perfectly. I especially like the last line, because imho many people here puts her in some sort of altar, implying she's perfect and with no flaws (which is something i obviously disagree with), and what's worst, if you don't agree with them they claim you are not a true fan. One thing is liking an artist and admiring their strong points and one different is being totally blind about yur fandom
. Which is something i have no desire to repeat anymore.

I do hate all the "better fan" self righteousness though lol That's just stupid.
I can gossip all day about Ayu, and still love and support her. Discussing the divorce, on a forum, about Ayu...doesn't really do all that much to change anything imo. It's just discussion.

Totally agree with you

You made my day with this quote
Edit: By the way, i also wanted to comment about the "infamous" book being the reason of divorce. To be honest, i'm SURPRISED to see people who believes mannie's book is "gross". With all due respect, i don't understand why is this gross. It's the
human body. What is wrong with that? did you guys were born with clothes? a huge part of ayu's career is modeling, even now she is a spokesperson for tons of products, and also some of her photoshots have included nudity and a lot of sexual connotations; if what she did before is considered here erotic and artistic why what he does is gross?
