Didn't one of our members almost have Ayu head to Australia for a performance at an event? The cost of getting her though was insane apparently so it was not in the cards. Would be neat if she did shoots there if not to perform.

You're looking at fully paid flights for at least 10 staff/entourauge as well as rooms, food, an appearance fee etc. There was a minimum star rating for rooms and flights had to be first class. We calculated it because I couldn't believe it was being offered to us but it was easily in excess of $150K back then and prices would have gone up in the last 5 years.

Short of having a Saudi oil baron on our organising committee it's price prohibitive for all but super rich events, because even if Ayu came it's no guarantee that you'd make that $$$$$+ back let alone profit.

Hardest rejection letter of my life

Aww guys come on. Don't be mean. I think she meant it. She is the head star of the commercial so, yeah. She could have ignored Ayu, but she did not. Why making such a video if she did not care about Ayu or the song?

I was just skeptical, but possibly because the company hiring her wanted her to do it.

Because.... you know... commercial...
I highly doubt that she decided herself to make a thanking video to Ayu, just because she's kind.
The world of promotion/commercials IS NOT just kind.

Oh, well you got a point. Alltho, it is not that someone (but Ayu perhaps) really benefits from Miranda's 'thank you'-video. I believe it is genuine because I have no idea when they would broadcast this. I mean, only Ayu-fans find this video. It is not that it is so highly promoted that it almost goes viral in Japan.
Therefore, business is business, but I disagree that Miranda fakes her kindness.
She or her manager could have said to fuck off.

Commercial is all about sharing and arouse sympathy in the potential customer's mind.
Even if this video is only broadcasted in Japan, and even only Ayu's fan watch it, the fact that an international model like Miranda Kerr (doesn't matter if we like her or not) care about Ayumi Hamasaki may lead a lambda-individual to think "Well, that brand must be cool, even its model care to thank the BGM-maker".
AI recognize it's a quite simplistic reasoning, but that's how branding and commercial tend to work.
Maybe her intention is not fake, but the simple fact that she made it just after the broadcasting of the CM, and knowing the working of commercials, just makes me think that is a calculated move by the company, just in order to arouse sympathy.
Commercial and branding is all about sympathy.

Is it that Miranda who has a child with Orlando Bloom but slept with Bieber which caused Orlando to punch Bieber in public? Or is that somebody else and I'm just confused.

Hmm... didn't notice that line.
Maybe Ayu will promote Victoria's SEcret, just like she did for Wacoal

Yeah I wonder what that means too. Just a guess, but maybe she'll be in one of her new music videos.

Ayu (and any other big local popstar) is always meeting famous people who go to Japan... It's not like they live on a bubble.
