Ayu said that if Max went, she would leave with him. At that time Ayu made too much of Avex's money and so the board chose to oust the President. That is how Max became the President of Avex. In the aftermath of that, Ayu announced she would not accept anymore awards. Likely because no one would deem them legitimate anymore with Max now the President of Avex. I mean just look at the nominee list - could you imagine half these songs getting nominated at say the Grammy's or something? It's long been strongly rumored that the record labels have a hand in who gets nominated. Most award shows have become a public display of who the record companies are trying to promote and less of a real competition.
