Welcome to Japan? :/

If any of this is true, it's not THAT surprising. Ayu's had to issue apologies before because people got mad at her for reasons beyond her control.

but I think that this issue would have been dealt with by Avex with a lot more discretion. I've never known Avex to speak publicly about anything like this, in this way.

They're not going to say "oh she was sick" and then turn around and say "we're going to punish her." That's just stupid. Something, somewhere is getting lost in translation, or there is a miscommunication.

OR, this is just a bunch of tabloid lies.

Wow...just wow...

Oh, the Ayu-hater girl on arama is back. I wondered where she had gone. This whole thing is so funny - especially the AKB48 mention. Are they afraid people wouldn't read if AKB48 are not involved? And Ayu is not the one performing last on most Music Station episodes. *tired*

I feel so bad for Ayu... :(

I call b.s. on this. :/ Ridiculous, but not surprising coming from tabloids.

stupid tabloids!! >.<' they just want to attrack attention using ayu and AKB48, arggh!

uhm, nope. They're completely different 'scandals'. And to be honest, Koda's one was much worse compared to this (and I'm not a Kuu hater though lol I really like her).

Anyway this is just gossip rubbish imo. I wouldn't take it that seriously.
Although it's quite annoying that after a-nation mess, they comes up with this crap now. BUT FIVE sales are not affected by this neither lol.
The only thing that concerned me about this article, it's her health. I hope she will get well soon :/

Tabloids lie to sell there storys but there is some truth with started the story but anyways we should show our support to ayu and complain to avex on twitter or something on how harsh they are to ayu, show we wont let our diva be bullied :P

its just the writer too exaggerated in writing the article. i doubt avex will punish her being sick and unable to attend. really doubtful.

Anyway Ayu said they couldn't get a flight back and now Avex claims she couldn't attend because of her illness..someone doesn't want to face up its own responsabilities? I mean,if an artist cannot respect its schedule it's totally a management problem.

this is totally weird.
knowing Ayu, if she was slightly unwell, she would still push on with her performance. See that independent live years ago, see all the times when her arm was injured, knee injured. DOME tour.

Sometimes i even wonder that avex may even try to save their pride and not let Ayu, who may not sing well, on stage...zzzz
see how these assumptions just conjure and it spreads like the fact.

argh
