[bluegie]

Hmmmn... I thought maybe she (or they) could make it, but oh well if this is the best solution, I support their decision.

Unfortunately, I've already seen someone attack him on his Facebook saying how could he leave Ayu.

At the time of our marriage, my husband and I decided to live in the united states. However,approximatetely two months later eastern japan was struck by a huge earthquake. As a result of this tragedy, I felt an overwhelming need to stay in my home county, and was forced to leave my husband alone for a long time.
My husband and I have made every effort to reach a compromise;
However, as time has passed we have grown apart. I no longer feel the same desire to move to the united states. Instead I feel that I must ask myself what I can continue to do for my country, here in japan. This has eclipsed the future I had originally envisaged with my husband, and it is for this reason that I have made this difficult decision.
It was with a grateful, but heavy heart that I read all the messages I received form my fans and the press congratulating me on my 1st wedding anniversary at the beginning of this month. It was then that I realized I had to face up to the inevitable truth that I had been avoiding.
At present, my husband is in los angeles pursuing his career as an actor in Hollywood. I would ask that my fans to respect his privacy and refrain from sending him messages or contacting him to ask for comement.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Reading congratulatory messages with a heavy heart.... So sad....this is such a sad thing to read.......It's not either of their fault....they just can't be together because of outside forces. The ending of a tragic love story.

But I think it speaks highly of Mannie's character to see that he is still going his own way trying to make it in Hollywood. I did send him a message of condolences because he's undoubtedly sad things didn't work out, too. I just wanna hug both of them right now... ...too sad to sleep - it's 4am here >_<

I'm so sad and shocked by the news of this. It breaks my heart to think that they couldn't be together or try to make it work. But alas, it is Ayu and Mannie's decision.

And in all honesty, right now, some of you 'fans' are making me feel ashamed to be put into the same category as you. You laugh, celebrate and even bash Mannie when we obviously do not know what is going on inside the relationship. It has to be hard to go on in a marriage when you never get to see, hold, kiss and just love the person you are committed to. To these 'fans' I suggest you step back and take a look at this from BOTH of their points of view. How would you feel if you were in a similar situation, and you told the people you considered to be the closest to you about it and they did nothing but laugh, bash your ex (whom you may still love dearly) and tell you 'I told you so'? Wouldn't feel too great would you? Please, put yourself in their shoes right now and stop trying to be, well, a jerkface.

I wish Ayu and Mannie nothing but luck and they both have my support. They must both be going through some very high emotions at this time.

I agree, those people shouldn't even call themselves fans if Ayu is only allowed to be happy with things they approve off.

Ouch, that's why AHS was down. I much rather prefered were because of news about the new album .

Anyway I'm really sad by reading this.
I'm on a distance relationship since 2 years so far. I know how it difficult would be live far away from the one who you love. But we stay strong and knew we will be together soon. Maybe there's much more behind this, the earthquake it's just one of them. I think. Maybe it's because of their career too, although Ayu isn't in her peak anymore she's still busy and Mannie it's trying out his actor and model career as well. It's just speculation though, don't take it seriously. There are so many difficult decisions to take when you come to this.

I'm worried for Ayu and Mannie both. Because I don't really think he's happy neither of divorcing to her.
So the only thing I can do is to wish their best to both of them.

[BlackSilence]

i'm kinda sad for both of them... not a very good start of the new year...as I said when they got married she's a human being, it's ok to make mistakes and it's ok to realize it wasn't meant to be. Just going to support her ♥ as for mannie he seemed like a nice guy, I'm sure there was a spark between them, it probably wasn't strong enough. Well hopefully everything will be solved out quitelly and without any scandals or difficulties.

AND I DO REALLLLLLLY HOPE SOME FANS WON"T BE A BUNCH OF "I KNEW IT! SEEE???!!! I SENT YOU THE MESSAGES TELLING THAT YOU DIDN"T LISTEN"....Because i'm gonna get violent then.... and i'm sure there will be people jumping around about this....

[majrakun]

Thanks for sharing that here. Aw man, she still refers to him as her husband! Or is it just for the sake of technicality, since they haven't actually divorced yet? It is kind of weird that she didn't refer to him by name though.

This is quite saddening but since I didn't actually focused that much on their relationship, it doesn't affect me tgat bad. But to think what Ayu had went through to finally decided on this is

[RealLight]

Oh dear...

[AyumiBest]

Poor ayu, that's so sad.

[Earth_maiden]

To choose her country over her personal happiness, Ayu is truly selfless. I just hope she will be happy.

[pepper]

I hope nobody will get me wrong, I support her with all of my heart, but... we're gonna have a sadly sound album I think.

[ownsarai]

I want the lyrics to 'How beautiful you are' right now.

There's nearly nothing you can do to keep it from escaping through your fingers unless the chance of seeing one another is set, so you can hold out for a few weeks or months.
It's one of the most painful things I've ever gone through. You want to love that person wholly but you can't help it because of the distance~ 8 months after the breakup, I'm finally healed..

For ayu especially, it's going to take a lot of time and support I think. She deserves the BEST. She's had a lot of hard times in her life.

Let's band together to support her.

Yeah, I've also been in a relationshiop ruinned by distance. I loved her, but I had to choose between my future and her. Well, we tried for almost a year to live apart, but right after we completed 3 years together, the decision of ending things came up. But that's off-topic, I should stop this

Thanks a lot for translanting. The bold part is like the main reason, it also happened with me. But from this text it looks like the decision had been made some time ago, probably she's much better now than on the last days.

This! TOTALLY this!

It's not a translation. It's the original English message Ayu posted for international fans on TA.
