I believe his name is over there to shield her, actually.

Shield her how?

[cosmicfirefly]

She's probably going to be producing her own material now. I doubt she'd let someone new do it at this point in her career if it's not going to be Max anymore, but who knows what this could mean?

[Larisa-chan]

PURE SPECULATION:

Max Matsuura steps down from his position and a huge reveal is that he is the father of Ayu's baby. Max files for divorce from his wife (I think he's married? lol) First hint dropped that they were having a love affair was w/ the cover of "TROUBLE"

Max and Ayu run off into the sunset on the beach so he can be the person he was "from before" (in his own words) and they co-produce material together under their new company A & M PRODUCTION

[truehappiness]

Max had kids with a model Aki Hatada and they were married till 2016 but it was never public until earlier this year when she said somewhere they were divorced. They had two girls and a boy and she is raising them in Singapore apart from Max since 2013.

There's too much that says the baby Ayu had was Pei's though.

Ayu's works maybe from now on will be Produced by ayumi hamasaki officially alongside Max?

Do you mean shield her from people who would question her musical direction?

I dunno about the baby/affair part, but I'm all for ayu starting a production company!

[ayu_fantasy]

I never knew about max private life much. He had 3 kids? That’s new. But I am all in for ayu being producer of avex. That’s too cool

[Andrenekoi]

@MKayu @jbrat2219
Shield her from criticism... Towards her creative directions, about her decisions, about her theme choices... A lot of stuff Ayu does isn't much expected on pop music... And it took some time for her to be seen as inteligent, sharp and strong.

Even inside the company... Max being named the producers makes it less likely for some of her bolder ideas to be axed.

[Corvina]

Max is stepping down as CEO, but he goes back being a producer and doing more on the creative side like before.
He's not retiring.

And why shield her from criticism?
She's not the only avex artist officially producing herself with a controversial image or decisions.
Tho back then it might have been because of her connections and status in the company.
And considering she doesn't allow any comments anymore even today, it might also because Ayu is just sensitive about this stuff. Everyone is different.

[ayu_fantasy]

I knew Ayu disabled her Instagram comments Long ago... but I don’t remember the time where she enables comment. Did a lot of netizens criticise her non-stop?

It's been 2+ years since she disabled comments.

I wouldn't say non-stop but there were a lot of nasty comments on Twitter and Insta. Remember that jacket she wore with the imperial flag? Man did that spark controversy...

I remember this one post she made saying she got a bit tipsy after a couple of shots of tequila from months of not drinking at all and several comments crucified her for it.

I think people got nastier and nastier over time.

[truehappiness]

The big things were probably when she got a bit drunk and the disparity between her Instagram shots and how she appeared in live appearances on TV and such. Both times she made posts on TeamAyu as well. Honestly, comment sections on social media tend to be really bad so I'm surprised she didn't disable them earlier. People would also fight with each other in her comments as well iirc.

Looking back, the disabling was around 11/20/2017 but nothing in particular was going on at the time. However leading up to that was a lot of "drama" on IG but nowhere near as bad as Twitter before she stopped that.

[ayu_fantasy]

I didn’t know Ayu gotten so much hate at that point of time.. I Guess she made the right move then.

[rainbow_smile]

IIrc she disabled the ig comments right after she got hate for the imperial flag

[Aderianu]

New post at IG
Ayu wrote that she has online meeting with two of her dancers, Hikaru and Risato. Hikaru wrote at his IG "Let's do our best from tomorrow"

I wonder is there something they decided to do with trouble tour broadcast

[xLuna&1LOVE]

I hope for an Ayu Quarantine Dance Work-out on all of her hits.

[pedronekoi]

She looks so cute!

[truehappiness]

Maybe it'll be a special show that isn't really related to Saigo no TROUBLE?

[Deep snow]

excited for whatever content they are planning of course. though I'm kinda hoping that this quarantine would compel her to do a long-overdue rest so she can resume the tour or record an album with a better vocal performance. but you do you, Queen!

Maybe it will be a short live recorded indoor or outdoor?
