Ayu intervenes in Max Matsuura's Twitter feud

[KarenPang]

There was a little conflict recently between Tohoshinki fans and Matsuura Masato the president of Avex, on twitter.

The conflict started when fans asked him about Tohoshinki. Matsuura tweeted, “Wanting them to get back together is my wish, but not getting back together is their decision.”

Fans were upset by his tweet and said to him, “Don’t you know how many fans would get hurt by words like this?“, “Why don’t you stop tweeting?“, “Stop saying stuff as if you know everything.”

Matsuura tweeted back to the fans again, “Then don’t ask me anything, and don’t believe my words“, “You want me to lie about that?”

Then people who are not Tohoshinki fans tweeted to him, “You are being too immature“, “You should know how effective your words are to fans.”

The twitter exchange became over heated, and Ayumi Hamasaki tweeted on behalf of Matsuura to the Tohoshinki fans.

“Please stop pushing all your anger and sadness only on Masa (Matsuura). Because of his position, he had to know something he didn’t even want to know. Isn’t Masa the same as you (fans)? Who didn’t give up, even after going through all that pain?”.

hmm... I don't understand exactly why Max's tweet was so offensive! I understand what he means...
I feel dumb! Then again I am a Tohoshinki fan, but just a small one, and I haven't updated myself on them...

[pommy48]

Oh yeah~ I saw someone posting this somewhere here....in the twitter thread?

[primavera♥]

Its really so much unecessary anger towards max

He's. Very right.

He can't lie to them anyhow. They should learn how to take a negative statement. And be realistic

Its nice of ayu

[taskinillusion]

Yeeah I fail to see how his tweet is offensive...?

[Calico]

oh fan girls.

[KarenPang]

lol fangirls can be really demanding/over the top , it doesn't apply to just TOHOSHINKI , Johnny's are the same too

I also don't find anything offensive on what Max said . Really , people are making a mountain outta a molehill ~_~

[AngelSenshi]

So much anger against Max when he really doesnt deserve it! I totally understood his tweets, his replies made loads of sense!

Some people should probably grow up; they're blaming him for things he had no say in and he was actually being honest with them instead of ignoring them! Would it have been better to them if he ignored it?

And good on Ayu for stepping in; at least maybe some people will listen to her. If not, then at least the supportive people will let Max know he's done nothing wrong.

People will always find a way to turn the truth into something offensive. I don't blame him for saying what he said, the truth had to come out sometime. I guess that the fans just weren't ready to hear or rather, read the truth.

It's another saga about the crisis of Tohoshinki... It's a good thing that Ayu stepped up when the debate got way too hot.

Good job, Ayu! Or is it, really?

I want to refresh my mind about this - what's going on with Tohoshinki for a while, to be specific? And why has there been complaints about Tohoshinki recently?

[amorphose]

Like I said in the DBSK thread, I totally agree with Ayu here. The DBSK fans overreacted and behaved immaturely. Why ask a question if you can't handle the true answer? I love DBSK and I'm upset about their split, but Max is definitely not the one to blame.

[milky_way]

LOL @ them getting mad at Max for no reason

[Ayumiko]

The fans really overreacted....I don't see anything offensive about his tweet anywhere. I'm sure if Avex can help it, they would keep the group together. They did help bring in big bucks for Avex.

[kirei_ayumi]

haha, masa the immature one? seems like the fans were immature...they need a life

[gallowsCalibrator]

I completely agree with Ayu & Max Fangirls are craaaazy, lol It's so good of Ayu to protect him and stand up for him like that

(another +100000 for my Ayu-respect meter )

Thank you for posting this information Karen. This situation was brought to my attention a day or two ago and I was wondering what Matsuura was going to respond and if Ayu was going to intervene. Just as others have said, Matsuura did nothing wrong and I don't find anything he said to be offensive. I understand that the fans are upset about the breakup of Tohoshinki but that was their decision, not Matsuura's. I don't know the whole story but what would Matsuura have even gained by having a hand in them breaking up? It doesn't even make any sense. And I for one was just saying that I hoped Ayu would intervene and I'm so glad she did. As a friend, there is only so long you can sit back and let people bash someone you care about that you know isn't wrong. That shows a lot about her character and it can clearly be seen that she is the type of friend who will definetely back you up if you're in need. Just another reason to love her. Go Ayu!

[AyUta]

That's horrible, I feel really bad for Max.
