and yes, I'm not stanning and know her rep in Japan... this is just fact

i doubt she'd be a diva and pull a tantrum, though. The only one that's really been documented was the one at that photoshoot in 2001.
Even then, she was mad because her staff were being made to wait and not solely because of herself.

I'm not in stan mode (I think), I just believe her fandom and maybe Avex are far more worried about some aspects of her status than herself. I can see her being a ***** to people messing up stuff... I can see asking for impossible stuff on a very short time like Devil Wear's Prada... I can even see her going all "I'M RICH AND CAN BUY THIS WHOLE THING AND YOU AND YOUR FAMILY SO OBEY ME!1" and "Do you know who you are talking to?", but I can't see her boicoting a TV show, and a very important one, because she is not closing it... Even more considering she has the fame of being hard, but also of being extremely professional. Not being able to take a flight is far from being an absurd excuse and can easily happen to anyone, doesn't mater how rich those people are... Some stuff are just out of our control.

Have u guys ever seen her without makeup? hahahah

^ I don't think its right to make fun of celebs without makeup. They're not perfect, and 99% of the pictures taken of them "without makeup" are usually really unlucky pictures.

Yeah the whole ayu didn't want to perform on Music Station because she was to perform before AKB48? Please! I remember there was an episode where fukuyama masaharu performed last and ayu was still there. There were always (after her peak) people that are more famous than her in the show, I don't remember if she ALWAYS was last but I don't think she really cares about others when she could perform, and now she is going to perform on a festival of Music Station's channel, Asahi TV.

Also I don't get the whole ayu doesn't want to be on a-nation thing. Maybe she performs less but she doesn't like/want to perform because of TOHOSHINKI? Please. there were photos of ayu FANGIRLING them just a couple of a-nations ago and did it publically and happily, why would she care if they close it if she loves them herself? Until 2007 trf was closing it too. Maybe it just doesn't fit her schedule to perform in most dates because she prefers a vacation or working on music after her long tours. These trolls on 2ch just like to make her a *****y monster. Just because she used to do way more, it doesn't mean she wants or can do it nowadays.

^ I think they just misconstrued the Tohoshinki thing. If I remember right she didn't want perform because of them, but it was in support of them? It was during their law suit and she was giving them support or something? Like a boycott.

I might be mixing two things up.
