* Ayu said on Twitter that she was surprised at how her engagement was immediately reported.

* But the information actually came from Ayu's side?

It was the first time for Ayu's man to be revealed to the public, but there were reports that "Ayu tipped a section of the media about her incoming flight", and according to journalist Ryo Kataoka, "Everything was staged".

"They made it look like the media caught onto the information, but after revealing about the engagement in her members-only fan site, the details of the flight were leaked to the gossip shows and the media. The media didn't follow her, she made the media follow her." - (Kataoka)

It did seem like Ayu was responding happily to all the questions thrown at her at the airport, and it also seemed like even her partner knew that reporters would be coming, and didn't look rattled at all.

"The man is not a member of the entertainment industry, so if they really wanted to hide it, they could have easily came back to Japan in secret. And seeing how all the major media outlets such as the sports papers and gossip shows, who normally do not stake out at these locations, were the ones who covered her arrival means that this was entirely Ayu's promotional stunt. She must have seen it fit to do this in anticipation of her single which will be released on the 25th.

Criticisms:
- "Uwaaa, now that's embarrassing www"
- "As I thought (´・ω・`)"
- "See? Promotional gimmick."
- "It would look really sad if no one came (´･_･`)"
- "So no one will even talk about her unless she initiates it, huh. That's so sad."
- "Yeah, she was all smiles."
- "So she goes to this extent because she wants attention."
- "What a sad person. Even if you acquire all the riches and popularity, you'd drop this far if you don't know when to quit, huh."

Bunshun reports about AKB48 group manager Tomonobu Togasaki as a habitual user of illegal substances while the rest of the media keeps silent

(Partial translation)

Shuukan Bunshun reported on the issue released on the 20th about AKB group general manager Tomonobu Togasaki's "habitual use of synthetic cannabis". He manages over 300 members of the entire AKB group, and people would expect the media to make a huge circus out of this, but all gossip shows and sports papers have seemingly ignored the issue.

(skipped)

The reason why Bunshun keeps on chasing after AKB's scandals is:

"The official book of AKB's Tokyo Dome concert was published through Bungeishunjuu, Bunshun's publishing company. Performing at the Tokyo Dome has been AKB's goal right from the time they made their debut. There were talks going around that 'even the mighty Bunshun has fallen' since these two sides joined forces for this major event. However, the huge agencies who have the main members under their roster refused to provide pictures, as well as cancelled interviews for the book. This is partially the reason why the book did not sell well. These events have seemingly lit a fire to Bunshun's stance of exposing AKB further."
