Wars of succession have often been among history's bitterest battles and though Amuro and Ayu were known to take an interest in each other's chart and sales performances, it was believed they were friendly rivals, especially as they both belonged to the same record company.
....
Hamasaki had something of a faux pas last year when she threw a tantrum in front of the Thai queen, but that hasn't halted her momentum in any way.
"Avex (Hamasaki's record label) only survives on the stock exchange thanks to Hamasaki. She accounts for 30 percent of the company's income. Nobody is going to tell her off if she acts like a spoiled brat," critic Yuichi Hirabayashi says. "Hamasaki's often referred to as the shadow personnel manager. She puts her bit in when it comes to how the company acts regarding other performers' promotions or events. One singer said to be on maternity leave has in reality, because of Ayu's input, effectively been sacked."
Hamasaki is said to have turned her attention to Amuro.
"Recently, Hamasaki keeps asking us what the 'monkey' is doing. Amuro made her debut while still a member of the Super Monkeys. At least I think that's where the name came from," Hirabayashi tells Shukan Shincho. "Then again, I suppose Ayu can't stand the thought of being labeled as coming from the same label as a has-been like Amuro. Let's not forget that when Amuro came back from her maternity leave that she called Ayu a 'make-up monster.' With their divergent views on music and lifestyles, there's no way those two could ever get on together."
Hamasaki is also said to be petulant when it comes to her pooches, throwing tantrums if they're not given the royal treatment. But there have been lighter moments.
"An assistant director opened the door of the dressing room and it slammed into one of Ayu's dogs, which gave a terrified yelp. The assistant director threw himself to the floor in a kowtow, turned to the dog and began speaking to it in an honorific-packed, polite form of Japanese, apologizing and asking if it was hurt," the music program source tells Shukan Gendai. "At the time, the assistant director was petrified by how Ayu would react. A little later, though, he'd calmed down and was laughing at himself for having spoken to the dog using the politest form of Japanese possible."
