It is just considered polite and well mannered and of course the Japanese are very meticulous when it comes to that kind of thing. So to not receive something in return speaks more to the fact that Avex really didn't seem to care about her one way or the other at that time, not necessarily that those people didn't like her personally.

I know this culture trait, but I really doubt she gave them chocolate just cuz she is really a nice person with so much love deep inside her heart... She wanted them to have a more friendilly attitude towards her and failed... I'm not saying that it was easy for her and her story is one of the reason why I dislike avex... But any pop singer anywhere in the world needs to overcome this stuff in order to get as famous as she got
