[Official Message] Ayu to be "correction support officer"

[Corvina]

Correct me, when I'm wrong, but isn't Japan already one of the countries with the smallest criminal rate?
And what can an artist or a singer (everybody having a great life with lots of money and probably not one single bigger problem, to sum it up more or less, exaggerating) actually change for a criminal? How can they help them? Or the system?
Japan has bigger and wider problems, such as a high suicide rate, social and gender imbalance, sexual harassment and so on. Would made a much bigger impact, if they tried to improve something about that with the help of some celebrities.

Really. this feels like such a PR stunt (especially cause it's for Olympics) and I don't know if I like that Ayu is part of that. I'm not that naive to believe it will change anything at all.
But maybe this is her and Avex intention, to cause some good promotion and help her image.
Idk.

Just read that Ryōtarō Sugi, a celebrity, who seems to be somewhat the leader of this "program", is doing this for years already privately.
Now this is highly admirable.
