Now I can only hope Ayu's life after divorce will be better, whether or not she's gonna get married or be single, I'll support her all the way!!

Now I needa stop feeling sad! T_T

I used to feel that way about Ayu. but probably we wrongly suppouse that love and marriage is what she really wants. Probably her personal dreams and desires become different during the years. As I said some posts ago, I strongly believe she's in love with Music and all the world she created in these years behind it.

^ Agreed, yes. She seems to be the sort of person for whom a standard view of life (marriage, family, etc.) will never be enough, nor will it happily suit her. Thankfully some people are meant for other things than this formula.

ETA: And damn, reading some of your posts about your knowledge of manic depression is a bit... depressing. All my voices ever told me to do was kill myself :'D

WTF?

Poor Mannie. He never did anything bad. Hope he is okay.

I think it's normal. It seems that Ayu take this decision alone. & I think Mannie doesn't want to lose her. When he received her divorce file I can imagine how he looks. Maybe he won't accept her request immediately & he'll try to talk with her before. I can say that Ayu is a bit selfish to take this decision without talking with him before.

The whole situation is really sad.. It will be interesting to see how heavily the divorce will influence the new album. Hopefully she stays strong!

You know, Leny, I was wondering about this too and how the book might've played a factor. Seems silly, but it does make you wonder considering the content and timing.

Im not buying that they couldnt see each other, they have money, they can afford trips anytime they want. Ayu won't ever tell us the real reason and it's not even our business. She posted the message for us to warn all those creepy fans to leave mannie alone.

actually, i don't think mannie has lots of money. i think he probably is far from poor, but he is definitely not rich. i would guess he can afford a trip to japan, but that he probably can't come and go as he pleases. i mean, he lives in a small apartment, or at least he did before they got married.

I remember when Ayu got married that there were a lot of conspiracy theories as to how they met, mostly to say that maybe she met Mannie before the met on set of VR and they really knew each other for some time. Now, I'm seeing conspiracy theories surrounding the nature of the divorce. I just want to take this at face value, and accept what Ayu is saying, because I don't think she would flat out lie to us. I'm sure there is a bit of sugar coating for public image, but we don't know what they really talked about in terms of their living situations, and anything the media says isn't 100% reputable.

Thank you this post. I don't see why people have to invent such conspiracies like this each time a celeb weds or marry's, no one does for normal people, and at the end of the day, ayu's a normal person with a normal private life, too. How is it so hard to believe what she says? XD LOL.

I believe this is simply what it is. And I hope both of them well. <3

[BlackSilence]

Bigtop, Yoake....even if it makes sense, i don't think it's very nescessary to do things like these, they are getting enought crap I'm sure about that....

[Deibel]

This situation is really sad , but predictable =(

Btw... How will ayu feel when she watch Virgin Road and Love Song's PV again?

I mean, it's her ex-hubby whom appears on them! Those videos are gonna be there forever, as a part of her music, that sacred place of her life... and it's possible that the scenes from LS's PV are really alike to the real one.. It must be weird and painful, specially in these days, clearly.

PD: Does she still want to go to LA? What was the reason for the trip? Work, or talk with Mannie and annul the marriage? I'm pretty confused.

PD2: I just read this sentence on internet, and I think is very suitable to Ayu right now: "If you know your intention was to give the best, you have nothing to regret". I'm sure she knows it.

[MissElin_]

^I think maybe she's not looking at those videos right now but I think she can cope with that in the future. He never (as for we know and how it seems) did her anything wrong and he did make her happy. In te future maybe she can just remeber that from him and not only the sad things.

We don't know that Ayu made the decision alone, or how Mannie feels about losing her. For all we know they have been talking for some time now about the possibility of a divorce. Unless she says it on TA or in person we will never know. I doubt he will learn of the divorce by receiving the papers. Ayu would be a bigger person than that and at the very least tell him over the phone.

Ayu is getting DESTROYED in Japanese media because of this... Im watching with an EXTREMELY heavy heart because if i was being told all the things everyone is saying in social media etc, id probably kill myself. There are a lot of people who are tweeting things like "ayu please dont do anything stupid... we are here for you." Too, so many people are supporting her too. I feel soooo bad about whats happening, i wish i could do something.

[aloopy]

^What is the media saying about Ayu?

[Luja.]

I was shocked when I saw this thread's title after loging in... that's so sad for both of them. And soon. I'm sad.
And I know this isn't really important but I wonder how and if she would have continued her singing career if she'd really have moved to the US? I would have been happy for ayu if she'd just had a chance to stay with her husband..
At the end it's none of our business and I hope the media or fans or whoever won't give them a hard time about this..
