Ayu on Oriental Daily 4/12/2004

[extepan]

I should have read the newspaper more often. ayu was on the newspaper 4 times last week and i didnt know.

anyway, just to remind you, the correct attitude of reading a hong kong newspaper is to read, laugh and forget.

title: ayu absent, 'record awards' speaks crap

text: ayu thinks awards stink (note: this is a common saying to mean you dont want something in cantonese, it doesnt mean any offense), and announced that she quitted competing for 'japan music awards '. however, the 'japan music awards' immediately announced that they have never received her application that she gave up her opportunity to compete for the awards, and even said that ayu did not have any songs in the runner up list. this means that ayu will not get an award whether she quits competing or not. however, yesterday the spokesperson for the music award suddenly changed is mind and said that ayu already announced that she qill not compete in the awards before the winners were announced, and also ayu had said that she would not be able to attend the award ceremony on new year's eve because ayu's busy. this time, 'japan music awards' is contradicting themselves, this may be due to pressure from ayu's personnel.

in addition, because ayu will not appear in any awards ceremony this yearm hence ayu was not on the list of winners on the (?) '37th japan cable awards' that was announced yesterday. this year, the winners include ??, ???, exile etc. the newcomers award winners include otsuka ai, ???, ???, and the 'cable music award' is won by ???, w-inds etc.
