Maybe she thought the media would have been all over the marriage and gain her some extra publicity?

I'd like to believe that neither of them used the other, but hey, celebrities do this all the time in North America...
Agreed. If we can say that Mannie used Ayu to try and get fame, then Ayu may have used him to sell Love songs. She releases a love themed album and then gets married to a non-Japanese guy. That would surely get people talking. Then she releases an album after announcing a divorce.

Also, I don't see Ayu really wanting to not be Ayu. She may say she would like to walk around on the streets of Shibuya, but I feel like everyone who is famous has said that at one point. And honestly, I just find it annoying. Like, as a supporter, of any singer, I don't wanna hear that all the money and attention I'm giving is just a burden to the celebrity.
