Good answer from Ayacho. Why would she care about a random member of any other random idol group.

I think the implication was that she's becoming too old to be an idol, because idols younger than her are getting married, or finishing school and starting adult careers, or moving on to more adult jobs within the entertainment industry, or whatever. I think it's a followup to what Ayaka has said before about wanting to remain an idol and the leader of H!P until at least 25, despite her degree in art history and her plan to become a curator, and I think her answer shows she understood the question in that context.

You gotta admit, though, it's a little weird for a postgrad student — in a cultured field like art curation and restoration, no less — to still be working as an idol. I can't imagine balancing those responsibilities; it's been hard enough for the handful of undergrad students in H!P. I don't know much about idols outside of H!P, but are there any others in the same situation as Ayaka?

I think you are overestimating the level of the Japanese entertainment media. They just wanted a quote from the new H!P leader on an event where an idol graduates directly into wedlock. Which is something that doesn't happen too often, especially with the (unwritten) no dating rules.

Of course it's Ayacho's awesomeness that she answers in such a way that it could be interpreted in the way you did. :)

ps.
Thanks for remembering that I still need to congratulate her on getting her art degree. I only congratulated her on becoming the H!P leader. I hope she gets it, and not simply answers "I Love You" like she did already several times. I will ask one of my Japanese friends what to say. :)

ps #2
On the subject of Ayaka. Seeing her perform right in front of you really really shows how awesome she is. apart from being smart, having a perfect figure (damn), she so sharp, so concentrated, so spot on with her dancing. The fact that she still can be as silly as she wants, when she wants, only makes her more perfect. [/end of rant]

I really like these outfits. I love the colours. So much better than just white/black all the time.
