At the same time, this pride comes from their insecurity. Max is an ugly old man who once discovered great artists. Now times are moving on and in the industry, he is neither able to create something as successful as before nor to find a niche. People like him don't want to grow old, they think they are eternally young and it's the opposite, their stale mentality is what makes them older.
That's why they are always criticising and trying to please a specific audience.

The problem is that people like him, there are too many of them, and we all have one or two in our families. In the end, you put up with them, because you have to live with them. Maybe something similar happens to Ayu, except that there will be parts of him that he respects and loves.

Right now I consider Ayu's most problematic relationship to be with Urata Naoya, and I don't quite understand why she supports him.

Considering that she has "punished" other men in the industry like Tetsuya Komuro for their bad behaviour towards women.
Yeah, unfortunately as long as patriarchy is alive and well, we kinda have to deal with people like that (fortunately I don't have anybody in that close proximity to me, like yes, probably I have acquaintances and distant relatives like this but I need to care for my mental health)

Ayu punished Komuro? Speaking of him, I also find it weird that he just bounced back right away into his career after he announced his retirement after he cheated on Keiko while being hospitalized. Ayu I think only put up a 2001 live of her and Keiko singing A song is born during that cheating thing but I can't remember if she said anything else aside from that.

Urata is another one that i also side eye on 💀 I think he was even charged for assaulting a woman which holy shit. Also noticed how Ayu gets hurt by people in her staff then she just kinda crosses them off in instagram, TA and even BTS videos (like with her old manager recently I believe) but when your friend does harm to anyone but you... yikes.

Again, I still love Ayu and support her music but I sometimes I question her logic
