It might be that ayu is really leaving....or maybe not. Let's await for something clear before making the whole motion.

i'm with you we should wait and see a real translation .... ^_^


ummm btw ...

SCARY AVATAR -_-

Other sites like Sponichi and Chunichi note that other artists like hitomi, Sam from TRF, and Exile could possibly be leaving Avex, since they also seem to be tied to Matsuura.

this might really be the end for AVEX

Oh my...I hope we get more info soon.

[ImpactBreaker]

m too I think a news as big as this one needs very solid information. The sources enlisted are very reliable but we need a proper translation =O

[CT_Cool]

omg hmm am going to wait for more information on this first It seem like avex crashing down if this is ture.

[ImpactBreaker]

LOL they will always have "Tokyo pudding"...maybe they will make avex rise from the ashes?

[tl1029530921]

from the TA message..it doesnt sound like she'll be QUITTING quittin...yay.

I think she should go with a bigger company tho..:-/. Sony woudl be nice.

[Larisa-chan]

yikes, wow... this really does sound like the downfall of avex. I wonder if Ayu thinks this will be a good opportunity to retire from everything, settle down, get married and have a family o.o

(not that there aren't any record companies who are probably swamping Ayu with bribes right now)

[ll moments ll]

wow. everything's happening so quickly!
O_O

hahahaa it sounds like a pretty cool rebellion, all the big ones except for namie and boA. good for me cause i never liked avex, remember? and yeah i think ayu should follow max matsuura, that guy is genious. =)


-just a random off topic a bit question, but if ayu left avex, would whoever signed her next (if she were re-signed), would she be aloud to put her latest songs on her next album under the new label? (ex. moments, inspire, etc.) and another thing, even if she stayed w/ avex w/out max matsuura, her music wouldnt be the same would it?

It might depend on whether she owns the masters of the songs. If she owns them, she might have the right to take them to another publisher. Then again, Avex might own all publishing rights altogether for her songs, whether she owns the masters or not. Of course, rights and such could be licensed out by Avex (much like they do with her European releases), but I don't think that would happen if she were to leave.

Another interesting point in regards to this could be unreleased songs. Say she recorded a new song a week ago, but ends up leaving Avex shortly. Since that song was produced under her time with Avex, she might not have the ability to release that song under a new label.

As for her music sounding differently without the guide of Max - I believe it was mentioned in another thread that he has stated before that Ayu is basically self-produced now, but I don't think we really know just how involved he is, so who knows if her music would see a drastic change or not.

I think this is going to send sales THROUGH THE ROOF!!

[bulmasman]

IT'S A PUBLICITY STUNT!

nah, this is seriously crazy. AT LEAST half the members of ahs should be rejoicing about this tho with the amount of avex bashing i've seen here in the last haha, but i think if she is quitting avex, she should go with Max. the only reason she'll quit is because of max, so i highly doubt she'd move to a company like Sony.

[gogirlanime]

OMG!!! I hope she doesn't quite for good! But I'm sure she is just quiting Avex... hopefully! Ayu!!!! Give me 3 more remix albums, stay till September, I'm BEGGING you!

[destiny_ayu]

I wonder what Avex will become if ayu n other gd singer or group were to leave Avex

[AyuLover]

Damn...Avex isn't going to survive like this!!!

Ayu is their #1 person who brings in the bacon. BoA along with the other artists can't make up for Avex! OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CyberSpaceQueen]

o.o

[lovia]

i believe the stock market is one of the key factor to everything... $$ factor again =\
and yes Ayu is the #1 in avex.. anything she say or anything she does really affect the whole company's stocks so if max were to leave, it is likely that ayu is also leaving, in my opinion... but that makes sense right? and i dont think the others are able to make up for the losses right?
