japanese music industry is far worse when it comes to misogyny than most people expects it to be... i believe that ayu, in certain cases, stood silent due to their culture of almost not saying a thing publicly that would put you in a delicate position, we would never know what conversations she had with him off the records.. and even though she could've said something, well, he's max, we all know him, a dumbass old guy, wouldn't expect less..
anyways, i believe that she tries the most to practice what she preaches on her songwritings, but sometimes you just can't fight some battles and that's ok too, and that doesn't make her any less of the strong woman she is, like someone said, there was a time that being associated with her was the last thing someone in the japanese music industry would want to, she endured a lot too just by being herself and now with children and still working as an artist, i don't think it's fair to expect more than what we already get..
if this was in a western country it'd be a totally different story, but it's just old japan being old japan in the end of the day
