And to add to that it even seems unlikely that he even wrote that himself and I doubt Ayumi is still in enough contact to him to know if he wrote it either(but even if she is and he did write it himself, still not a very classy response)

agree!

You can still have a sense of "burn" in your words and be classy. You don't have to be an angel to be considered classy.

I think it's good that she responded.

I think the "him" that Ayu used was a very general one and probably was supposed to indicate "anyone" rather than specifically Mannie.

IMO, responding in a very nonspecific way was very Ayu and I feel like she probably felt that she needed to respond given that not responding would allow for the public to formulate rumors which would lead to even more trouble.

[emi♡]

It was very nonspecific, and I don't really think it was that insulting. But if it was me personally, I wouldn't have said anything. Especially if I didn't know if it was actually him or a friend of his, or a hacker or something. Maybe she knows for sure

But also, who knows, maybe her tweet was in reference to the Tomoya crap going around, or something else?

Yes, I agree, I wouldn't have said anything, if it happened to me personally. But with how public this all is, she sort of has an obligation to address it, because her personal life and work are pretty intertwined, and if she said nothing, many fans/paparazzi/whatever would begin to speculate more and more. Avex may have even advised her to address it, who knows.

I can only hope that she somehow privately made sure it was actually posted by Mannie before she commented, but then, that's just a hope.

If she didn't reply, her TA and twitter would be bombarded forever!!! what a nightmare...
And I think she should reply.


The last thing we (and she) wants is the Japanese and Chinese tabloids picking up some of this and running with it......

[ren'ai]

^ the sad thing is, they are probably still going to anyway. I mean, with her even denying it's probably just made it that much more juicier for the media and they like to have any excuse to slaughter her and her reputation

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

You can be rude and classy as **** AT THE SAME TIME GURL, what's wrong wit shu

[truehappiness]

Basically, either way (if she responded or not) she would probably be bombarded with questions about the rumors, so it was a lose-lose situation.

I wonder if Mannie's ever going to address it.

[Zahara]

To me, it was blunt and made her point perfectly.

Should she have acknowledged his tweet? No. Not until the facts are in. Everything at this point is speculation, so I don't think that was wise of her.

*Now move on to next topic*

@濱崎歩: New nail for Hukui[心]

@濱崎歩: Ate horse meat[星] it's called BASASHI in Japanese !!!!!!!

[happiholic★]

Those nails

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

the nails look amazing, and that dish looks yummy too *o* I've tried horse before, so good lol

[Zahara]

ooooh those nails are awesome! I want.

[truehappiness]

She should ask Aiko to try some different designs for the tips though... the heart has been featured in like her last 24 or so sets of nails, haha.

[happiholic★]

^Nuu! I like the hearts!

[emi♡]

I dont like it lol it's been so done to death by everyone...I also hate that tip shape, but she's been favoring it for a while now. Seems to be in.

[happiholic★]

I've always been a fan of pointier tips. I cannot stand square tips. I think it makes the girl look so... cheap.
