11/4/2007 Chinese news



Translation:

Eason says Ayu lip-synched - Ayu fans are not buying Eason's CDs anymore.

Eason Chan said Ayumi lip-synched 1/3 of her Hong Kong concert - and this caused a huge wave of fury and commotion. Many netizens and Ayu fans are now saying they will not buy Eason's CDs in the future.

Eason said last week that Ayu lip-synched "very well", and this caused a lot of debates. Many netizens insist that Ayu did not lip-synched, and that she is the first DIVA of asia, it's only natural that she have such wonderful performing abilities. She also trained for the concert till she have abs, which is a feat compared to Eason's fat tummy. Fans also question why he knows Ayu lip-synched even though he fell asleep.

Ayu fans feel that as a father, Eason did not think through his thoughts carefully before voicing them in public. Many netizens and readers sent mails and e-mails to all major media companies requesting for Eason to make a public apology. Besides not buying his CDs, they also hope that Avex Trax will lodge a complain against Eason.

Again, a kind reminder for Ayu fans to keep cool just treat this as normal news.

Mods: close this if it is inappropriate. Thanks.

I guess people are over reacting. They haven't even seen the full picture yet. I think Eason thought she was lip synching, but ultimately, he still did think that Ayu's concert was very good and that she was a good performer. C'mon, I wonder how it would have been like if just some normal person was to voice out this kind of comment? Nothing much would have happened. He's free to voice out what he feels, and I guess on that aspect, you can't really disagree with him.

I just think people should see the bigger picture. He doesn't NOT like Ayu,on the whole I think Eason still thinks she's a great performer. It's just tabloids being selectively in what to report.

Since the original post is closed,I post here.

I just saw the responses of Japanese fans, they are furious. Some of them are demanding lawsuit while the others are demanding at least an official protest.

Japaneses all take this event very seriously.

[Choyan]

I think the media is making his statement more < than what he said haha~ XD

[Kobayashiwoof]

jeez, those AYumi fans are just so stupid, so what if he said it? get over it

[LacusClyne]

well i dislike him of accusing ayu and other artist jumping to defend him without being sure.....

[..:Hot:Like:Wow:..]

I'll be happy enough if his forced to apologize, even if he does not mean it, just the fact he has to would make me insanely happy.

[WillofDusk]

Nah~ make him learn, he's this old and still hasn't given up his overtalked habit.

Thnks for the info, I was expecting this.

[Sim']

It already spread to Japan, some japanese articles report what he said =/

I do understand HK's fans reactions...
For the 1st time Ayu is coming to sing in HK, media & others just criticize her -mostely in a bad way-
They are worry if all this can be a reason to cancel next HK's live for 2008 Live Tour, so they just UNITE! to proove that they love her! =)

I don't think they're THAT stupid since it arrived to Japan and may affect her sales!
Not that I agree with them about not-buying his CDs, but as he said in public (and proudly please!) she lip-synched, he should also apology in public!

A very typical Eason-Chan characteristic, that's what I can say.

In “as for ayu lip sync” speech fan rage! An event of CD boycott of goods - Hong Kong

2007 April 7th, the Asian tour “TOUR of Secret” 2nd stage of the ayu concert tour was held at the Hong Kong coliseum, ended with great success. Also the luxurious audience where many blooms style artists get together became topic, but one person among those, [ison] [chiyan] (Eason Chen 奕 迅) (after the concert ending, “as for 1/3 of songs was lip-sync”, that it calls the ripple that you comment.

This speech buys the anger of many Hong Kong ayu fan, as appealed [Eason] to the post company of the envent and the ayu which it tries probably to cause the boycott of goods of CD of [Eason] says that there is the event which is sought. [Eason] withdraws speech, has stated gratitude already. Also the manager of [Eason] was hasty speech, but [Eason] is known with candid character, losing word of this hand is usual. The media just aggravated thing, that you comment that, assure the focus of situation.

Speech with light feeling calls the ripple to here, also [Eason] probably has been surprised, but as for the latest incident you can say that the ayu popularity in Hong Kong was proven. With the latest tour, not only the fan, the ayu where media blooms style artist [netsutoyuza] it involved many people, shook topic and sowed. The impact which is given to the Hong Kong citizen is unfathomed.

hahahahhahaha.... OK folks, let's learn from Koda+Ayumi=Kodayumi... relax~~~ breath in~~~~ breath out~~~~ hooooo ahhhhh hooooo ahhhhhh

[Yukitora]

LOL some of the repsonses on this thread are almost as funny as the news article (fat tummy?) ^_^ I reckon Eason is getting what he deserves - what kind of celebrity does that sort of thing to another in public? It's just plain rude.

Anywho, sometimes her live dvds make it sound as if their lipsynched through edited audio and the SFX they use during the lives (eg. Ladies Night AT06).... maybe Eason just has screwed up ears and can't tell the difference? (wouldn't be surprised).

[jasjasss]

celebrity should respect one another !

[JinHamasaki]

Eason should know better, ANYTHING a celebrity says can spread like a wildfire. You always want to be 100% sure before you say anything!
