For example: Ayu.

yes, I'm totally agree with you :)

The scandal is four years old, let's forget about it already. :laugh She had a bad day, not a big deal.

i'm obviously a sawajiri fan :laugh sorry

In all honesty it doesn't suprise me that ayu finally admitted selling her soul for fame.

EDIT: I'm not going to bother editing my post about what I said about ayu, since I have known for quite a while that she was a sell out. I am however going to say that when I came across "THE MUSIC INDUSTRY EXPOSED" on youtube I wasn't intentionally looking for it, it came up in another video I was watching on the side bar ... out of curiosity I clicked it and found it to be quite intresting and informative. If I offend anyone with my opinion I'm not going to apologize, there isn't any need to since I would not expect anyone else to state an opinion and then turn around and apologize when someone else doesn't agree with it.

ok... if i say im a raingirl, that means i sold my soul? maybe i meant that i'm offering myself to the world b/c i want to give abundant love in a selfless manner, not necessarily selling myself to boost an industry. i understand ayu's public persona (as i don't know her personally to say i understand 'her') as someone who gives herself without regard to herself, independent of her lyrics, her work, her whereabouts, and someone who never seemed to want something in return in the form of a spotlight, in other words, fame. she came into this outside of her will, thus she used it to initiallyjust to save her a$$ (psychologically to be specific), and eventually found some compassion out of it as a gift she can offer to the world so they can live on like she did.

so... selling her soul? like, seriously? for someone who writes her own dayum words? who knows what's truly up for Ayumi Hamasaki in particular, but i think the most important thing is--let us decide for ourselves. don't choke your understandings down our throats.

lmao nice

everyone has bad days guys, you never know what is bothering a person. poor erika, gotta love her <3 thanks for the pic and the article!

lol seeing that video, I don't think so badly of Erika anymore. That was absolutely nothing.

n as i hear erika like bullying her junior
lol

Erika just sounded as rebellious as Ayu admitted to being when she was in her late teens.

Sawajiri Erika really seem Arrogant in the blonde wig video~ it's reasonable for fan to lose hope on her if she keep behave like that.Who will love someone with RUDE attitude??

I love her in One Litre Of Tears.I even feel sad for her in that Movie.But she show a totally different side,which make me feel sick with her.

anyway ~ ayu and erika seem polite to each other.

LOL other than that video posted by Miskiq this one is a bit shocking when i first watch it because at first i know her as Aya who is a beautiful,lovely and a tough girl :P

LOL wth with the rebelious and naughty attitude and chewing gum on the red carpet :laugh now i watch it back i found it funny :P

yeah she's a great actress somehow i wouldnt want to watch 1LoT if it not because of her, and maybe after this she can do a collaboration with Ayu :D

PS: she looked hot though xD

The scandal is four years old but it's still relevant to her career and image. She is still known for it and judged by it - hence why people discuss it. It's not anti-Erika to do so, it's just discussing a pivotal moment in her career and image. :/

Well in that case, let me link all the videos and articles of her improving her career, which in that case would be completely off-topic. I'm just tired of Erika-haters using this as a free bash session :rolleyes Like seriously, as an Erika fan I understand it was a "huge moment" etc, but in retropect it's only because the media went all crazy over it. In reality, not such a big deal. The amount of times Western artists and actresses have been rude and totally just said "Oh, bad day sorryyyy :laugh", and Erika has to deal with the backlash for years. I was stating it's incredibly unfair to a talented actress, not stating that it should never be discussed. It should of been forgotten, rightly so - I can name much bigger scandals tbh - but whatever, if people want to rehash old facts, let them.

@Rain-girl:
Ayumi mentioned that it's her fault it's raining outside, when a big event is right around the corner. She worte, she had the feeling it's always raining when she goes out to perform.

So it's not like Ayumi admitted she's sold her soul.. she's just making a joke she's made on twitter and TA before.

@Sawajiri Erika:
I really like her attitude. There are enough Idols smiling, laughing and playing a role everytime a camera flicks on. Erika is doing her thing, she's risking her carrer to change something and that, IMO, is something I respect.

omg ERIKA looked like 2001 ayu in that video XD I love that look

I like Erika Sawajiri a lot since 1 litre of tears, and her single "destination Nowhere" is one of my favorite songs.
She rocks, and I don't care about the past incident. We all have bad days like that.

Oh.. I remember, when I told a japanese friend of mine, I was watching 1Litre of tears, she said, that a lot of Japanese don't like her, becaus of her behaviour.
Well.. such a behaviour like with the blond wig isn't really good. And isn't very positiv for her career.

They NEED to do a song together! XD

On topic. I really love Erika's dress and hair. She looks really cute, but really elegant. Not too fond of Ayu's look here, she looks cute, but the outfit isn't as nice as Erika's. It's 'cause Erika has nicer hair here for me. I'm so biased towards hair.
