Also, about these being "tabloids". The articles that they showed in that TV broadcast are from major newspapers. Major newspapers in Japan commonly report this kind of stuff.

oh okay. I honestly wasn't sure, because I know that the Japanese act this way about missing appointments and performances and stuff, and this is certainly not the first time Ayu has gotten a lot of bad press for missing something, but I didn't know like, the real source, if it was just like a tabloid, or if it was being widely reported or whatever. So thanks for clearing that up
And you know, people aren't going to like this, but this is the culture. And it does look bad on her, and Avex, to them.
It is a bit odd she couldn't get one. Perhaps Avex was angry at her for some reason. Maybe she hadn't contacted them? idk. I haven't been following her news.
I think the AKB48 comments are all really unnecessary though.
