[Article] Ayumi Hamasaki is in trouble with the Police! (Again..)

[waterballoon]

^ It appears like said drugs in the article, are the hard drags...

But I really don't think so... it's just unthinkable lol, but the media (especially Chinese media) just LOVES adding flavors to rumors and "news" lol.

[Aditmi Krisnasaki ~II~]

oh... not again~

[Sweetpea]

This sounds to me, that the police are investigating a case and they are also investigating the friends of those involved in the case to see if they can shed some light on it, which is pretty standered (acording to TV LOL) . The press have seen Ayu's name and blown it out of proportion.

If Ayu had anything serious to do with a drug case we would know by now, It's just a mountain made out of a mole hill.

Ayu is one the most least stupid people you are likly to come across, do you think she would carefully craft her image and career just to blow it all away over something like this, Ayu is to smart for that. Also if you type Ayu's name into Google and check news, theres nothing. That guy from Smap, just walked around naked in a park and he made internatinal news. If someone as famous as Ayu was in trouble in a drug case, it would be at least somewhere big.

[Kikaru]

I dunno, from the articles it seems like a standard police investigation at least what law&order episodes tell me anyways . The police are just investigating all the links tied to a person, and some names (in this case Ayu) seem to appear in the tabloid more because she's more prominent figure.

[Corvina]

That's bad.
I don't know what to think about, so I just wait and see.

[Qt Mashi]

i wouldn't be surprised if Ayu did do drugs pre avex, but i hope Ayu is smart enough to not do drugs at this age. But I trust Ayu wouldn't so such a thing xD

[hidekirby]

One positive thing is: at least it would explain the horrible faces she made on some recent photoshoots !

THAT is the first thing that came to my head when I saw this thread.

^ Yes, being involved in illegal drugs, even something as "small" as marijuana, really is a big deal, in my opinion. Not so much because it's extremely bad for your health, even, but because they are illegal. Because of this, really shady and dangerous activity goes on around anything related to illegal drugs. It's not something you want to be involved with, not just for reputation but because you could actually get killed for countless stupid reasons. I completely agree with your post, Impact.

And yes, Japan does have very strict laws on illegal drugs. Not anything too extreme like certain places around the Middle East, where they kill you for having a pinch of cocaine in possession. But they don't simply give you a slap on the wrist like in the US and such. Being caught with a very small amount of marijuana can get you fined what is equal to many thousands of dollars, sentenced to years in prison... And in a lot of the Western world (specifically the US :\), drugs automatically make you really cool. Not Japan.


Anyhow... I really don't believe this. Yeah, part of it is because I don't want it to be true, but really, it just doesn't seem very likely. I mean, Ayumi's so level-headed in the first place... But also, you'd think she'd be a little more stressed out. But she's seemed very normal and pretty much carefree in all her blog entries, right? I dunno... We need to wait for more info...

[Kazeyomi]

oh my..

I'm shocked, srsly. Ayu involed in a drug's case? D: gosh.. I don't believe it until Avex's confirm. And as someone already said her official site and other stuff aren't shut down so.. >_< what the heck! I'm confused.

[ayuayu798]

WHATEVER!

[ownsarai]

I seriously don't think Ayu does drugs. How could she with her busy schedule? And, yea, by her posts on her blog, she doesn't seem to worried about anything having to do with this. I will believe it if avex releases some news about it. Until then, it's a rumor.

[zyoeru]

Ahh, I'm not worried.

But I really think the people who're all "lots of celebs take illegal drugs, it's perfectly fine to take them" are really stupid...but that's all I'm gonna say on that.

[emi♡]

^well that fact is just there, not really to say that it's okay to do drugs, but just that them specifically going after Ayu is kind of stupid, or any one person, is kind of dumb...

especially since now it seems they're like going back years and years, i mean wth.

Go find the people selling drugs or something right now.

But that's just how I see it. If other people are saying it's okay because everyone does it...eh...well...that's their opinion I guess lol

[gothicayu]

i dont know if ayu ever dig drug ( that is something only her knows) but its true that she was a close friend and she must have know her friend did drug and didnt say anything . ( why would she report a close friend to the police ? )

im just shock about this company scandal because they are EXTREMELY famous in japn and they have great lingerie .

they need to find the sellers and cut down the top , than the rest will stop.
anyway i m not worry about ayu she should be fine .

[slavomiros]

anyway i m not worry about ayu she should be fine

well obviously she'll be OK in the end. Only her reputation did suffer a bit as those tabloids messed with her relationship to the main suspect. But all the fans that believe in Ayu know she was clean, is clean and will hopefully remain clean of drugs. C'mon...she's an angel in flesh and bones, right? ^_^

[Keiichi_JPU]

She might use drugs in her private time.. I don't know, don't WANT to know, and above all don't care.

But all the people saying she uses drugs on stage or during photoshoots?! That cannot be true. Drugs leave certain marks. Physical marks, like needle bruises or big eyes (you know what I mean), or other signs like drowziness or other weirdness. Ayu always seems very focussed, concentrated and she knows exactly what she's doing on stage. Not the signs of a drug-addict at all.

I trust her and don't believe this story

[AyUta]

wow, thanks for the better translation sunshine. I wish the best for ayu.

[StarSUCKER]

Ayu is such a workaholic...how would she have the TIME and ENERGY to do drugs? With her schedule, if she were taking drugs, her behavior would make it pretty damn hard to hide. I would be EXTREMELY disappointed if she were doing them, but it just doesn't make sense to me. Even big-name magazines ******** a lot of their stories or puff them up to make them seem juicier than they are.
