Sigh..

Eason = comedic personality.. for those of you who know him well enough ( apparently, not)

He merely joked abit... and so many people are angry..

You also must consider the fact that he = half-asleep, + tired + exhausted.
No doubt that there's a high probability he's going to talk nonsense. So why care about his opinion so much? Learn to be tolerant..

Ayu has improved ALOT~

Eason and the Grasspoopers underestimated Ayu's ability to sing so well and overestimated their ability.

For me, I would say to him: If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.
Simple courtesy. :)

Wow this blew up bigger than I thought it would, Surprising. Haha yay Ayu is the Diva of Asia cool.

thanks for the article.

if someone hurts the person i love i am definitely defensive, it's like if a random person tells other people "Qt Mashi's mum has bad breath" yeah i will totally be tolerant just after i give him a black eye :punch

Eason will pay for his vicious lies and slander. Revenge is a dish best served cold as we all know.

cool down everyone, or else this thread will be closed too!

IS that person you meant "half-asleep, + tired + exhausted"?
IF not, i wouldn't mind giving that person a black-eye.

But in this case, EASON = exhausted by the amount of work done days before concert, and for the fact that he actually spend some time coming to Ayu's concert ( despite his tiredness ) is commendable.

Even i myself hate the "lip-synch" opinion. But again, i would like to stress on "tired". Look at the photo of him on the day he was interviewed. He looked really really tired, and it's really obvious.

being tired is no excuse? tired or not makes no difference about his comment and the thing is his comment has made Ayu look bad on her first Asia tour and any non Ayu fan would believe him.

Are you out of your mind or completely lost your marbles? Eason didn't mean it as a joke. Duh. If he did, he would have laughed or said it was. If it was a joke, you think it would have been blown so out of proportion? I think you need to read the definition of a joke from the dictionary again.

Yah yah, you know him the best :) I'm sure he's like your brother or something. It's fine that you want to defend Eason since you might like his songs or even is his fan, but please do so with logic. You just sound ridiculous. Now you're saying it's nonsense, and previously you said he was joking. So what is it? I say it's his accidental spoken honest opinion that didn't go through much thought.

With all due respect to Eason and his fans, I think what you said is really a load of crap.

I can only hope this media circus means more sales of A Best 2! Go for the million!

Actually, it's Ayu who benefits from all this. She's never been more talked about!

This is being blown way out of proportion. I bet you that Ayu doesn't even care that he said it. She's just out having fun travelling around. Why do we have to ruin that by making a big deal out of something that doesn't need to be?

The media is just crazy. They just want drama. Forget it. They can have it in Asia where it's obviously more important than what's actually going on, like, um, I don't know, her Asia Tour? I'm not going to pay any attention.

AyonZ, don't worry if you're in the minority here. Ayu fans are always...um, crazy :yes Don't even think about flaming me for saying that either you guys, you know I'm right. I don't know anything about the guy either, yesterday I said he could get stuffed, which sure, he shouldn't have said it, but maybe he WAS joking, i don't know :shrug most likely, he probably thinks he just made the biggest mistake of his life. Leave him alone.

Do you think the "non-Ayu" fans will believe what he said after such a controversial issue? Right now they will be in a state of confusion, rather than trusting the words coming out of Eason's mouth.

^ why do you have to argue about this? I'm sorry but it's clearly gonna get out of hand yet again if posts like "Surreal's" ,above, continue, so i'm gonna go ahead and close this now.

Thanks for originally posting the article, and thankyou to those of you who kept a cool head in here.

wow, those are some hardcore fans.
