Well for your information, Alam Tam has gone bankrupt long ago and has a fierce law dispute with his ex-wife. Their negative news had always dominated on the press' entertainment section for months.
Even as an administrator of AHS I'm very fabergastered with this guy. So what he's honest? After several Hong Kong artists being bashed by him, now Ayu's being bashed by him too. I understand his "senior class" in Hong Kong but it's just that he's an old man trying to get some publicity using Ayu.
Off Key or not, I'm going to judge her myself, but bashing other artist isn't a very good idea and now he is drawing fire to himself. Serves him right!
Currently Alan hasn't made any reply to the Avex, and one more thing, Avex has even threatened to withdraw not only Ayumi, but also BoA and other JPOP artists from the award ceremony.
Personally I think Ayu doesn't short for any awards.... it's also OK that she can miss out the ceremony, as to let the guys taste her wrath.
