From my understanding:
-After the ASAYAN auditions, she wanted to go back to a normal life but then was put in MM。. She said it felt like she didn't know what was going on (at the time).
-They all got paid the same amount. The company took care of living and transportation expenses.
-It felt like, to her, the group didn't really get along and everyone saw each other as rivals.
-Apparently, Yuuko was the one who Asuka got on with the least, although Asuka says that that was most likely because of a difference in age and Asuka not understanding Yuuko's way of thinking despite realising now that Yuuko would compromise a lot.
-The official reason for leaving was for study, but she wasn't interested in going to school. She wanted to hang out in Harajuku all the time and didn't know what she wanted to do with her future.
-She felt out of place amongst the other members because she thought she wasn't being serious about the group as much.
-Tsunku tried to persuade her to stay in a conversation that lasted over an hour but he was using too many allegories and she had no idea what he was on about (lol).
-She quit high school in her first year and went on to work part-time at a bakery after that.
-She has no bad feelings about MM。's success with LOVE Machine, and when she saw the CMs she just thought "I wonder if I could've made a bit more money".
-3 years after her graduation from MM。she returned to high school (and graduated) and got a boyfriend.
-She met her husband, who's 3 years younger than her, at a nomikai (a drinking party type of thing) that her friend's work held.
So basically, nothing incriminating and things we mostly knew already. I think in the end she doesn't regret leaving but also realises it was mostly due to her being too young to understand what was happening around her.
