I can't help but feel bad for Ayu...What they're saying isn't entirely fair.

[CHE.R.RY]

In recent news reports and old ones as well. They shoot down Ayu really bad and try to make her look like a terrible person. I mean yeah, she's not perfect she may be a little bratty at times but I don't she's a rotten person. In a recent article they even went as far as calling her an 'almost has-been'! What do you guys think? Here are the negative articles:

I feel that they should cut her some slack. That's the ttrouble with the media, they never think about how the artist may feel. I mean Ayu isn't perfect, but she's certainly not a demon. This Mainichi place makes her sound like the most hated Japanese artist in Japan >.<

It's a gossip column for Mainichi. I wouldn't read too much into it. D:

Really? I wasn't sure because my friend was telling me it was accurate.
It's pretty sad though. Some of the things the media put out on artists...

Funny, but all these articles doesnt in the least affect me. Ayu is a diva, she can do whatever she wants with her money - footing bills for hot gays or being overdemanding certainly doesnt have any link to her music. Thats what gives her character, thats what make her a queen, baby! If you have it, FLAUNT IT.

I read the first article once!

Now it sounds like crap to me!
We love Ayu for who she is, we shouldn't believe those magazines and tabloids - the weeds...

I know...but sometimes it does make me wonder...

The dark, underworld of the music industry...

Apparently it was news.
And I was wondering the same thing about the Thai queen. But if Ayu really did throw a tantrum, then maybe they just wanted to keep it quiet. I just can't see Ayu throwing a tantrum but I guess you never know xD!

ayu rulez ... If you have a problem with it ... well ... it was nice meeting you ... I didn't knew you can breath under water ... har har har

[WillofDusk]

Well, as if the authors could be as rich as Ayu, then they would just shut their ******ed up mouths

[Partino]

that was a joke ... I know that you stand up for her ... that was somewhat sarcastic cause they said she has so much power at avex ... people with so much power can make people with less power easily disappear

I know xD
That's why I deleted it. Sorry, things aren't quite registering right now...I'm really tired.

A lot of these articles are simply based on few true facts, just that they exaggerate to make things a bigger deal than it actually is.

Sure she has drinking orgies... she's been working her ass off for almost ten years now (I'm pretty sure touring for three months, with shows almost every second night, where you have to perform on a stage that feels like a humongous steam room isn't exactly always nice - and then you have to smile all the time), she has the money, she just politely goes to a club/bar, pays for everything and all...

I'm not saying a diva attitude is good, becouse being a b!tch is certainly not good, whatever your social position is, but there isn't really any proof to what is she like...

Even though these are good, the best gossip was "Ayumi has Veneral Disease". That was the best. XD

[ayumisrael]

Mainly, everything that tabloids write about ayu and isn't really confirmed (not by another tabloid, but from a reliable source) it's a rubble of lies and crap. That's how they do their money, sadly.
