• making private details about her relationship with Maro public
• saying in a very direct way she doesn't give a fuck about what the japanese public and her japanese fans think about her and her actions
• leaving her fans alone and moving to the US
• Party Queen covers
• a lot of PVs
• musical direction
• etc. I'm sure I forgot something
Like she made clear she regrets she was running away to the US. But she was running for a reason and if she regrets runnig away she also has to regret other things. Problem now: is it about the choices regarding her personal life only or also about her music? We don't know. And that's why I don't know how to take her work in the last, let's say 3 years, serious anymore. And I actually like the music she made during that time.

Once again, judging by statements she's made outside of songs, it's probably both. It is possible to regret quite a lot of things at once and write lyrics about your feelings from reflecting on past mistakes.I don't see why she needs to say explicitly what she regrets. Does she ever do that lol? Does she state who the people are in her love songs? No, but it could be anyone. She can save that for other mediums. The beauty of these lyrics also is that people can still imprint their own personal meaning on them.
Whatever she did at the time reflects her thoughts and feelings at the time. So even if she regrets it later, it represents her at a point in time.
I think people forget that artists are still people with feelings. Of course some intentions are different sometimes. But they can still be sincere. And have regrets, feel embarrassment, change, etc. Ayu's clearly gone through stuff in the past. Life happens
