Well doesn't this look familiar?

Is there a place to tell AVEX about this?

[Dustie]

Lol, what exactly is that ad advertising for?

Sure you can always email them, there should be an email address on their official website (avexnet.or.jp) - but if they are going to do anything about it or not, nobody knows. There's plenty of stuff that has uses unlicensed photos of Ayu, but I haven't heard of Avex taking any serious actions against such acts.

a have stickers and a pair of shocks with Ayu in the package!
well, that's publicity for her, after all...

[Foxxy_Fuyumi]

It's not publicity for her if they don't know who she is-- my friend even had to ask me whether it was ayu or not, and she's a casual ayu fan.

This isnt the first time and wont be the last. In the end of the day who cares, Publicity is Publicity.

I doubt Avex would take any action. XD Only companies like Sony do such things. =p

In the china town in Picadilly, London., it was pretty amusing to see Ayu used to advertise many things. Cellphone cards, nail art, and make-up XD

wow really? when was this? probably before I knew about JPop

Now.
I went recently, and she's used quite a lot

[fanmail]

oh wow! but it's the same thing? illegally using her to advertise? -_-"

hehe If I went to see it, I'd probably just stare at it for hours and take some pictures XD

Ugh, the advertisement is so pixelated and poorly edited. They should have just made a legitimate advertisement instead of stealing. How unethical of them.

[Bigtop]

I think that seems to be an illegal violation...

[namiie]

Hmm yeah that's pretty poor photo editing, but I doubt avex will take action.

Apparently you haven't heard about AVEX being nazis with Ayu PVs on youtube.

[sora2522]

HAHA, i was about to say that

actually, they're nazis with ANYTHING avex trax-related. they took down my FREAKY PV >(


trust me, she's been used alot. while i was in taiwan, there was some advertisement for eye-enlargement surgery. they prolly used ayu (well, technically her eye) to show that 'YOU CAN BE PRETTY AND ALIEN-LOOKING LIKE THIS LADY!' or something like that
