lol yeah...she was probably on vicadin or something.

Which...does have it's addiction capabilities...but I mean...it's no where near what demerol is.

I don't really think she needs to say anything about Michael. Why should she feel obligated to say something?

Are you? Am I? No. Was she his personal friend? No. Has she ever said anything about him being her idol or something (as with BoA)? No...

So...I mean...it's not really necessary...besides, she's busy.

But yeah, no QT, she hasn't said anything.

I agree with Kendelle. You know...I don't want to bring this up here...but the other day, someone said that all the people around Michael were bloodsucking vampires...sometimes it leads me to wonder if thats why he brought children around him...because they're innocent and can't use him.

I don't think anybody expects Ayu or any celebrity to make a statement. However, as one of the bigger names in pop music... I think an acknowledgment from her (at least in her in TA blog) wouldn't hurt. After all, she echoes Michael in a lot of ways (expensive music videos, elaborate stage shows, "overproduced" pop music)

A lot of people don't seem to realize the significance of his passing... He was one of the most famous people to ever live. We may never have another human being, not to mention music artist that is ever as globally recognized and gifted with such talent as Michael Jackson. Expect this to be in the news for a while.

It doesn't have anything to do with this thread, but i wanna comment on this anyway lol

I'm pretty sure that's the reason why he loved kids so much. He had been exploited and made fun of (due to his acne) by adults. So i guess he prefered to be sorrounded by children who would just let him be.

It's sad, but he never trusted in adults. He didn't know how to relate to them.

Well, as for ayu, sure it'd be nice if she said sth about Michael's death, but it's not her duty.
She's never said anything about him, so i guess she wasn't a big fan of him (supposing she liked him, of course).

It'd be way different if we were talking about Madonna. We know how much Ayu loves her.

Well said, I agree. I don't expect her to release a deliberate, drawn out public statement; it'd just be nice if she made a quick mention of him in a TA/diary, just to show respect. Whether she was a fan or not, it'd just be a nice gesture, is all I'm saying. He had an incredible impact on the music world. I suppose some people of a younger age just don't understand that, and it's sad. He will be in the news for a while and remembered for his good heart, as it should be.

I don't expect her to make a statement, or say anything about MJ's death. I wouldn't be surprised if maybe she likes some of his songs, or is / was inspired by him in some way or form, but we shouldn't really expect her to make a statement. Like other people have said, she has never really displayed a liking for him, nor was he one of her close friends / acquaintances.

I'd only expect Ayu to make statements about people dying when it's somebody close to her, or someone she truly idolizes, like with one of her best friends in 2007.

chloeM · #26 2nd July 2009, 11:52 AM

yea... i'd love to see ayu on MJ~

Amrai-chan · #27 2nd July 2009, 12:28 PM

Maybe Ayu knows and cares but does not feel like making a statemeent. Or can not find the words.

Sandre · #28 2nd July 2009, 01:29 PM

I haven't see any statement or speech from Ayumi on Michael Jackson.
I think Ayu knows what is going on too. Most of us know.
Since Michael Jackson passed away that day, his faces and music were all around the
TV news and newspaper, stated there king of pop die at 50.
It was a shocked that suddenly he died.
But he was a great singer.
Ayumi does acknowledge it. Well, it doesn't means she have to start a statement.
It's everyone choices.

octolina · #29 2nd July 2009, 08:52 PM

I hope she doesn't release a statement. People, ie Paris Hilton and many others, have been dropping statements like hot cakes. Saying stuff like "I have known MJ all my life... I am greatly saddened." Yeah, you know MJ but MJ don't know you! Name drop to get in the news! That's how celebrity gossip blogs feel about it anyway.

about BoA and Rain. They are such wannabe poseurs, no one in America even cares about them.

In other words I hope Ayu doesn't join the sheep.

Ayumi~moments · #30 2nd July 2009, 11:28 PM

I don't see why she wasn't close to him or anything. Course she knows and like us all was porbably saddened but there is no need really

People like BoA and Rain made statements maybe because they are in the American music industry as well as the Asians but Ayu should say something to pay respects.

BoA has said that she was influenced by Janet and Michael so it only makes sense for her to comment on his death.

I'm sure a lot of those celebrities DID know MJ...most of their parents are rich and well-known. Kim Kardashian said she had one of her birthday parties at Neverland Ranch.
And the comment about BoA and Rain was really unnecessary.
It doesn't matter to me whether or not Ayu makes a statement about MJ's death. I'm sure she knows and is sad, but like others have said, she's a busy woman. And MJ wasn't a huge influence on Ayu, so there is really no need for her to make a statement.

Aisha_Angel · #33 3rd July 2009, 04:12 AM

Even so, it would have been nice to have heard something from Ayu...hell ANY of the Asian musicians who emulate his work.

I don't know if it's happened yet or not, but I'm a little disturbed at the fact that the members of TVXQ haven't said anything. >_<

alternarist · #34 3rd July 2009, 08:20 AM

well. not that i know of any statements ayu made about MJ's death.

I dont think ayu is inspired by MJ right?

zyoeru · #35 3rd July 2009, 12:42 PM

Exactly what some people have said. Ayumi is nothing like MJ, and has never said anything about being influenced by him. I think it's pointless that people are disappointed by her lack of commenting. I don't really see why she should comment on it.

I think people should just chill out. Yes he contributed massively to the pop-music industry. But he's dead...there's nothing anyone can do about that. Ayumi shouldn't be obligated to honour someone's death if she doesn't feel like it.

asmAyumi1992 · #36 3rd July 2009, 06:33 PM

Ayu probably forget about it every time she's in the internet.

AyUta · #37 3rd July 2009, 08:55 PM

I don't think she has, but I think it would be nice if she did.

Aditmi Krisnasaki ~II~ · #38 4th July 2009, 04:12 PM

I think she know it...
But we don't know if she had said 'bout it...

***ImpactBreaker*** · #39 7th July 2009, 03:25 AM

I don't think she has to, though it would be fun if she did mention something about him.

I do think she got inspired on michael a few times. Look at the alterna PV. I think there are some simmilarities to the "Leave me alone" music video. Also ayu sems to have a thing for children in her PVs

Another point is, even though people only mention madonna, unlike madonna, and more likely michael, ayu has a couple of "vocal addictions" that are sort of unique to her and her music alone.

Haha. I can't wait for the ridiculous allegations against Ayu then.

But yeah...maybe you are right. I mean she doesn't have to credit every artist that influences her I spose.

EDIT: What do you mean by vocal addicitons?
