Yeah, I'm sure the poor guy was immediately fired or something. He just didn't know what he had.

But then again it might simply be that it exists and I am not informed.
But when it comes to Ayu, I guess one of her problems is the fact that she rarely appears on variety shows, at least since 2004-2005. And in the end, both record labels simply work very differently and Japanese public simply seems to love men more (overall).

actually Avex does have a weekly show that it promotes its artists on called Channel-a. But yeah, it rarely gets posted up on jpopsuki and the like.
And yeah I really miss her variety show appearances. She doesn't even go on Utaban at all and that is the 2nd most watched show after Music Station. She used to do some fun things on heyx3, but even that she hasn't done in quite a long time now. I can't remember the last time she had a lengthy sit down talk segment on the show. I also miss the stuff she used to do like the Ayu and Gackt XMas special.
