[Article] Ayumi Hamasaki is in trouble with the Police! (Again..)

[love in music]

from her TA messages in the last year she seems way more hyper than usual and that could be because of drugs, idk though! and she looks drugged in some of her photo shoots..

i'd be disappointed if she did do drugs though.

[aura~]

well... it seems that this started days ago... in TA there's nothing from her... she post as always, how she plays golf, her new nail-art... she doesn't seem worried or nothing...

I only hope this won't take a lot of time, and that they won't disturb ayu a lot... we know how is Japan with this... scandals affect a lot celebrities...

I don't know why they have to investigate Ayu... it's like they want to make it noticiable for everyone and they put Ayu's name for that... is quite ridiculous to talk about how thin Ayu was... and I wonder what was her strange behaiviour back then and if it's true she wanted to buy these appartment in Tokyo...

[Tasked]

I don't get what the big deal is in countries such as Japan, the US or whatever.. If Ayu wants to do a little drugs, that's her business. If she has been doing drugs, or being related to it, it's not showing, as she's still doing her job Apart from hard drugs of course, alcohol is way, WAY more dangerous than like say Marihuana.
Anyway. it's probably not true, obviously..

[waterballoon]

^ It appears like said drugs in the article, are the hard drags...

But I really don't think so... it's just unthinkable lol, but the media (especially Chinese media) just LOVES adding flavors to rumors and "news" lol.

[Aditmi Krisnasaki ~II~]

oh... not again~

[Sweetpea]

This sounds to me, that the police are investigating a case and they are also investigating the friends of those involved in the case to see if they can shed some light on it, which is pretty standered (acording to TV LOL) . The press have seen Ayu's name and blown it out of proportion.

If Ayu had anything serious to do with a drug case we would know by now, It's just a mountain made out of a mole hill.

Ayu is one the most least stupid people you are likly to come across, do you think she would carefully craft her image and career just to blow it all away over something like this, Ayu is to smart for that. Also if you type Ayu's name into Google and check news, theres nothing. That guy from Smap, just walked around naked in a park and he made internatinal news. If someone as famous as Ayu was in trouble in a drug case, it would be at least somewhere big.

[Corvina]

That's bad.
I don't know what to think about, so I just wait and see.

[Qt Mashi]

i wouldn't be surprised if Ayu did do drugs pre avex, but i hope Ayu is smart enough to not do drugs at this age. But I trust Ayu wouldn't so such a thing xD

[hidekirby]

One positive thing is: at least it would explain the horrible faces she made on some recent photoshoots !

[ImpactBreaker]

LOL all this talk about drugs reminds me of this crazy theory thread made that made a lot of fans go berserk LOL

We don't know Japan's laws. If they have laws that are strict on drug users, then they have to enforce it. People who do drugs aren't a "little problem". Drug using is not just about some guy smoking their pot and feeling relaxed. I won't get just into the health hazzard caused by abstinence but the other side of the problem that people usually don't look at. For that guy to get relaxed with their pot, the drug had to be processed somewhere in some place, illegally. For it to be processed and sold, this illegal industry has to have an enforced guard. It's a mafia. This mafia may corrupt local people, and deal with other criminal activities like weapon dealing, murderers and robbing. To ensure a market is always readily avialable, people induced into drug addiction have to maintain close relation with drug dealers so that they can feed their abstinence, and these drug marketeers take advantage of that, by selling the drug for a low price at first and then when the person becoems obsessed, they offer the drug for higher and higher prices. For someone who has too much money like a celebrity, they can mantain their dependence because they have too much money. For those who don't, they end up comitting crimes just to steal money to buy drugs. And just because alcohol is dangerous doesn't mean they should make another thing that's still pretty dangeruis to be freely sold along with alcophol, that would be pathetic. When someone in US or Japan smokes their pot, they are indirectly "helping" for someone to get murdered by violence in Rio de Janeiro because of drugs, because they're feeding this kind of market. I know Holland has places in which people are allowed to do stuff that in other parts of the world are considered illegal, like open drug using and selling as well as prostitution, but I had read a recent article that Holland was starting to face some problems for being too liberal in that aspect when it was actually done with the excuse that it would make things better. I don't want to get into this because it will become political (if it hasn't). If Japan has strict laws for that, then it's fair that they enforce them.

^ Yes, being involved in illegal drugs, even something as "small" as marijuana, really is a big deal, in my opinion. Not so much because it's extremely bad for your health, even, but because they are illegal. Because of this, really shady and dangerous activity goes on around anything related to illegal drugs. It's not something you want to be involved with, not just for reputation but because you could actually get killed for countless stupid reasons. I completely agree with your post, Impact.

And yes, Japan does have very strict laws on illegal drugs. Not anything too extreme like certain places around the Middle East, where they kill you for having a pinch of cocaine in possession. But they don't simply give you a slap on the wrist like in the US and such. Being caught with a very small amount of marijuana can get you fined what is equal to many thousands of dollars, sentenced to years in prison... And in a lot of the Western world (specifically the US :\), drugs automatically make you really cool. Not Japan.


Anyhow... I really don't believe this. Yeah, part of it is because I don't want it to be true, but really, it just doesn't seem very likely. I mean, Ayumi's so level-headed in the first place... But also, you'd think she'd be a little more stressed out. But she's seemed very normal and pretty much carefree in all her blog entries, right? I dunno... We need to wait for more info...

[Kazeyomi]

oh my..

I'm shocked, srsly. Ayu involed in a drug's case? D: gosh.. I don't believe it until Avex's confirm. And as someone already said her official site and other stuff aren't shut down so.. >_< what the heck! I'm confused.

This is just screaming, "get a life."

Are you delirious? Most people are into drugs from friends, or atleast do drugs with their friends. Not to mention that most celebrities are into drugs. There are celebrities dying every year from overdosing.

Well, the article doesn't specifically state it, but the way it makes it sound is that Mika had to have known and that this type of party was a common occurrence and that the only reason it was found out this time is because someone died.

If she actually did drugs though and there was some kind of evidence, I'm sure Avex would do everything in their power to bury the story. (like Johnny's does)

I wonder if he was right Hopefully not!

The guy in that thread wrote this:

Has it ever crossed any of your minds that Ayu is taking a load of drugs in her day-to-day life? She has literally never stopped working since she released “poker face”.. She’s released 29 singles, 7 albums, 18 remix singles, 13 remix albums, 15 DVDs, 11 vhs, over 40 vinyl, acted as spokesperson for and endorsing countless products, launched her own fashion range, done 4 nationwide tours, and is now about to embark on yet another one… She works herself to death, I think it’s quite surprising that she hasn’t had a public nervous breakdown or something. Which leads me to believe she’s taking a hell of a lot of drugs..

According to that the whole Japanese music industry is on drugs lol Can you imagine the stuff Kumi was on while she was releasing her 12 singles xD (I am kidding of course)

@SunshineSlayer - isn't the Jin guy from KAT-TUN a notorious alcoholic? They sure didn't bother to bury his drinking problem lol I guess you're right, they'd either try to bury the truth or erase Ayu's existence.

I'm not sure about Jin, but Kamenashi has had some hilarious drunk tabloid stories. However, drinking isn't illegal if you are of a certain age, so its not something that really has to be covered up. However anyone that has been under age or suspected of drugs has either had their scandals covered up or were basically ex communicated from the company.

Yeah, I remember what happened to Kusano and the other guy from NEWS after they've been caught drinking under age. Oh well I guess if this rumor dies out in a while it's either one of the two things you've mentioned. Still I'd like to believe Ayu really had nothing to do with it.
