Anyway, reading this thread has welled up a lot of emotion inside me, someone who really looks up to Ayu because she seems so different from typical celebs. She's human, and of course she will have human slip-ups every once in a while. I believe she was naive and passionate when going into this relationship, that she wasn't even thinking clearly. I don't believe she outright used him to sell her albums or her tour. Ayu has just always been brutally honest, and if it's anything she's selling, it's her true, honest feelings. And some of those feelings have to do with Mannie, which is inevitable. I am going to keep supporting Ayu because I believe in her and her music

Personally, I'm glad she realized her mistakes earlier than later. 10 years from now would have been a worse time to realize she made a mistake.

Just my two cents.

Also, for people wondering about the photograph in return road. That picture was taken specifically for Love Songs, and any work Mannie did for the videos he starred in becomes the copyrighted property of Ayumi and Avex, which I'm sure was stated in the contracts he signed when he got hired to appear in the videos. It's a legal thing called "release" which can be read about here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_release .



She doesn't need his permission to use it again.

As emi said before, I don't think its a case of if she's legally allowed to use the picture, just the fact that she did. Just because something is legal doesn't make it right in some people's minds. Its a matter of opinion, of course.

If I think of Mannie as an attention *****, then it's my opinion, I won't call him like that for a fact, ever unless I can justify it. --------- I can however call him like that for a fact now, because he was begging for attention. What else are you after when you post such a thing? You're not making friends with that or something, just attracting LOADS and LOADS attention from the left-over ayu stans / ayu fans.... It's so obvious to be honest. Maybe he needed support for his heartbreak and demanded it like that??? I don't know, You don't know, nobody knows. For now, how I feel is 'right' for me. It was bound to happen that he would cause a commotion with that picture. This is from my point of view, no need to try and correct it!

And maybe no one in here said that ayu IS a psycho because Mannie says so, but it has been said on several other places, and what you are doing is MISINTERPRETING what I said as being on this forum only. I never even said forum-only, and no one mentioned 'evil members' either, wtf .
It appears that no one, said that ayu's a psycho for a fact, on this forum? If that's so (I doubt it but whatever), then please, let me wholeheartedly excuse myself for making this statement: "It was on here..." This doesn't take away that it HAS been said on other sites.

//edit//

I have to ask, why even bother saying that people here on AHS said that Ayu is psycho, if what you really meant was that people were saying it on other sites? It just makes your whole argument look invalid. And really, you can't bring what you've seen on other sites into this argument. It doesn't really make sense if other members haven't seen it for themselves. Just like someone else claimed that Mannie has bashed Ayu every chance he's had, without posting any proof it just doesn't make any sense, just like your claims that people here have said Ayu is psycho and that people elsewhere have as well.
