I'm working at a summer school at my university right now and teaching German to Japanese students. Since it is always an easy topic to talk about in a language one just started learning, I talked to them about what kind of music/artists they like. In return they asked me whom I like. Also a Japanese friend came to visit me just today and stays at my place. Everyone seemed to have heared about this book and the first thing my friend asked me was like "is Ayu ok?". And she only was that nice in formulating the question that way because she knows how much I like Ayu. What she actually wanted to ask and did so later was more like "has Ayu gone totally nuts now?". The reaction from the students was kinda the same and it was obvious that they tried to be nice. What they said about her regarding the book in Japanese because they assumed I wouldn't understand was pretty clear.
My opinion on the whole "Max dating 17 year old Ayu" aside, selling her private gossip from 20 years ago was the worst idea she ever came up with. It's one thing if gossip like this is out there and something she can't control. But selling it on purpose? This really is a poor move only absolutely irrelevant people would normally do. If she wanted to prove the public right and to see her as irrelevant and as some has been and desperately attention seeking, she succeded.
