If AHS members really wanted Ayu to tackle the most "pressing" social problems in Japan, then perhaps they can give some helpful suggestions as to how on earth she might go about addressing historical revisionism, educational reform or media self-censorship, especially since she lacks any means or conduits of influence in these areas unless she runs for office or something? And how is she not addressing gender imbalance/parity? That theme has been woven into the fabric of her music and image since time immemorial. She herself and the life she has lived are her own answer to the problems of women in Japanese society!

Sometimes this forum can be just unbelievable. Negativity for the sake of negativity.

What me and the other poster were saying, really has nothing to do with Ayu at all. Ayu doing this, is a great thing. But, this whole thing is also just so indicative of the problem in Japan of real issues never actually getting any attention at all. While the - relatively - non-issues get show boated around.

Yeah, it isn't that much about Ayu, but more about the program itself.
I'm probably too sceptical (I tend to be), but it happens too often that such things are done just for the sake of doing something - no matter, if it's going to help in the end or if there are other problems more pestering.
I do hope we get to know after this program is done what they've actually done. Would love to see a documentary btw.
And maybe Ayu or others (the public?) are motivated to do something longer than this program lasts.

I live in a relatively undeveloped country and it's pretty much the same. To me it's a bit odd as you'd think that a country like Japan should have the majority of major issues well resolved, so it would make sense for less important things get show boated around.

I think it's nice she's doing this, but to me it doesn't seem like a most important thing in the world - doesn't mean no one should be dealing with it.

When is this starting?

^ Its a little bit different than just some type of thing they all go to in one day. It will be planned and organized with the participating prisons along with other factors. We may not even get any news on when ayu will be going to visit

[No_Doubt]

This is so random.

[AyuGAME]

I found this

Maybe Ayu will perform as well in the future inside the prison.

^Somehow I can't imagine her performing in prison.

I'm hoping helping the inmates,talking to them, hearing their stories will give her inspiration to write some amazing lyrics.
