[News] Ayu's deafness news has caused Avex's stocks to fall
 

あゆ「左耳聞こえない」報道でエイベックス株に影響　歌手の浜崎あゆみ（２９）の左耳の突発性内耳障害の報 道を受け、浜崎が所属するエイベックスの持ち株会社「エイベックス・グループ・ホールディングス」株が７日 、活発に取引された。売買の活発度を見る出来高が、昨年１２月１１日以来の高数値を記録した。

　７日の出来高は２６万９６００株。今年最初の月曜日ということもあるが、先週金曜日（４日）の１５万５６ ００株から急増。昨年１２月以降、１２月１１日の３０万８０００株に次ぐ高い数値となり、長年、エイベック スの屋台骨を支えてきた“大黒柱”の衝撃告白が、株式市場にも少なからず影響を与えた可能性も ある。

　一方、この日の株価の終値は前日比１３円安と微減したものの、株式市場が全体に低迷傾向なこともあり、出 来高に比べて影響は少ない。０１年８月にＴＯＫＩＯ・長瀬智也（２９）と交際を宣言した際には、４日間で株 価は一気に７００円も下落した。結婚した場合に売り上げ減につながると危機を感じた投資家たちが敏感に反応 した形だが、今回は、あゆの今後への期待をうかがわせる反応だ。

　関係者によると、もともとは１０周年に向けての決意表明が告白の目的だったため、特にこれ以上の説明など は考えていないという。この日、会員制サイトに新たな書き込みはなかったが、あゆの公式ファンサイトには激 励メールが殺到した。

EDIT: I'm sorry to announce that there was some mistakes with the translation. There was some misunderstandings when this was originally posted at AC.

It has been clarified that the stocks had dropped instead of increasing. The amount of successful transaction on the 4th was around 155,600. After the news was announced on the 7th, the amt of transactions increased to 269,600. This is the highest transaction rate ever since 11th of Dec last year. So at the end of 7th, it was concluded that Avex's stocks had dropped 13yen.

Is this the 'surprise' koda was talking about that would make the stock rise?? (jk)

Are they sympathy to Ayu...or just predicting that becuase of that news her sales would raise and make a big profit??

I hope it's because of their sympathy....

Because as odd as it is, usually something like this will increase record sales; just for sheer curiosities sake. Avex is probably already planning Ayumi's next single because of this, lol.

yes it's so funny and a big humiliation to Ayu but on the positive , we can see many people care about Ayu

It probably has a lot to do with publicity.

The deafness is very interesting, and it seems to be ALL OVER. In random European nations, to Australia, to China, and Japan! D:

Me too. I don't want them to blame ayu if the stocks dropped.

Yeah, it's kinda like the I am.. fiasco where her album's postponement LOWERED the stock.

I wonder why this made it go up..

woww...Ayu has really made a big influence to avex...and thanks God that the stocks are not falling down~

What's weird is that it affected the stock markets but didn't particularly boost the album sales..

Well, the news was only announced a few days ago. Like, one or two days ago officially. Before that, no one knew.

Perhaps the 3rd week will be more stable?

that is quite a big increase... at least over 10000 points (I dunno much about stock tho.. is it common or weird to have such huge increase?).

And it's weird that the news doesn't improve the sales... rather, it improves the avex's stock... :P

oh thats good~ i think people feeling sorry for Ayu...

avex's stock was at an all time low earlier this year.. perhaps it.. rebounded?

I want to know what the hell max thinks of this.

when i first read the thread's title..
i thought that because of the news, the stocks are decreased...but to my surprise, they are increased!

To be honest... I dun really think that news will provoke lots of people buying GUILTY. People who love and concern about ayu would have already bought the albums (that means, us). Normal people who might have interest on this album might be buying the album, but general speaking people will not buy ayu's album simply because her left ear is deaf.

This is like.. let's say Madonna's backbone is hurting again. I will think "OMG it's bad to hear that," but it will not make me buying her new album at all, cuz I dun have extreme interest on her albums anywayz..

Probably he's planning a new single which speaks about her problem. Or another special episode.

news spread quickly hehe....i saw d news on a chinese malaysian newspaper...gosh i must say this is a hot news indeed

wow, this was suprising... I thought they would've plumetted or something.

when i clicked the thread I was like, "oh, please don't tell me Avex's stocks plumetted... now everyone's gonna blame Ayu"...

I was surprised however... hmm, interesting... at least they can't blame her.

well.. Singapore still has no news about ayu's deafness yet.. but i would thought that it would decrease.. but since it has increased, i wun say much. but i think its due to sympathy.. :(

hopefully her guilty sales can rise too...and get number one position for this week..haha..
thanks for the news...ayu is so powerful

I think it's because of the sympathy people felt for her :yes

10x for the news

i'm a little stupid - do the sales have increased or not?

the stock incresing can make boost sales

i think this is like her strategy in marketing :D

Those were chocking news. I think it increased the sales of GUILTY and it will increase more.

That's cool people are caring though how come avex's stocks went up and not ayu's? (I think).
What an A has to do with a G? if you get what I mean like... ayu's stocks should go up and therefore avex's, but not only avex's to go up and ayu's not lol.

i also read the news from the local newspaper.... and today, singapore TV news also report about ayu!!! so many people will support ayu!!!

I hope the sells will increase like the stocks
it would be really great

unnn, ok, now i uundertand... well, i suppse they have increased the stcoks so they may have better sales in the following weeks.

Well... That's a bit strange. But since it's positive, I guess it's fine...

I don't really see it as they "care" for Ayu. It's more like pity to me...

It's not sympathy, it's easy profits. The investors knows that, this news will help sales. Sympathy from the public, fast and easy profits for sharks. (Sure that some of them were happy to learn the new.)

^ But why would sales go up? Pity sales? I'm pretty sure Ayu doesn't want that.

And as we can see, the sales did not go up

Maybe it's because of EXILE's amazing sales and Ayumi's okay-ish sales that potential investors would like to invest in avex. We all know about the Kumi album that's being released soon.

I think it's less about Ayu's personal issues and more about the fact that people are expecting Avex to have a good year this year.

Ayu
- Guilty
- a huge arena tour across Japan / Asia

Koda Kumi
- Kingdom. a million seller ?
- first full arena tour ?

EXILE
- fans getting milked with a new best of collection ?
- arena tour ?

Probably... I don't think Kingdom will be a million seller though, Black Cherry hardly is (I mean it is but not by a lot).

I don't think that avex has a female singer that can sell a million for an album anymore.

I think Kingdom will sell past one million. it's been awhile since the last kuu album and it's released in a good time. there isn't much competition and I'm sure as soon as Ayu is "done" with Guilty, huge promo for Kingdom will begin.

btw I Think on oricon Black Cherry is just above one million, but Avex reported like several hundred over million copies sold ?

also I weren't there rumors of A-nation having a few gigs in Asia (China/Taiwan) this year too?

avex always exaggerates the sales to make their artists look better.

Yes I think there were rumors or actually some statement by avex that the next a-nation will be also in Asia.

I don't think they exaggarate. I believe the numbers are from their their reports to investors, and they are public and lying to investors/owners is a fraud.

there's just a lot that Oricon doesn't count. do the actual sales for every artist can be like 10-30% prercent more than the number oricon reports. like most of the overseas sales?

I don't know... Black Cherry sold [Oricon-wise] just over 1 million with a quadruple A-side that sold ~400k [all 4 songs were on the album], a double (ballad) A-side that sold ~300k and a huge ringtone hit that sold ~270k.
For Kingdom we have a single with 4 new songs that sold ~200k [only one song is on the album], plus other singles with sales around the 90-120k mark.
I'd have to be REALLY optimistic to see Kingdom as a million-seller.

Anyway, yeah, I think Ayumi's Asia Tour 2 announcement helped the stocks rise, too.

avex sales report is not copies bought by the consumer( like oricon's). what they report is Copies sold to stores, third parties, etc
you can check all of that in RIAJ's yearbook

i know that because i did a market research on japanese music industry this year.

ok back on topic, I think its not just ayumi that made the stock rise, i think its mainly EXILE's doing. dang if i was an investor i would buy some avex stocks looking at the amazing sales their album got.
and i do agree ayu's news did help her boost the sales of guilty (intencionally or not) , due this public relation boost i think most of the investors saw an opportunity to dip some cash into the whole loss ear wagon.

but i highly doubt that rise is 100% ayus... still, this are great news for all avex's artists

she's getting more attention... worldwide attention... so itz possible that the ear problems could take her global *shrugs* i'm glad the stocks are rising tho ^^

I think they do enhance the numbers a little or report them in a way that looks better. The report is to attract investors so they'll probably make them more appealing. Like I imagine they report the copies sold to the stores which might not have been sold in the first place to the customers.

The stocks rising thing is a good thing. Many artists have been having low budget singles (compared to 2005-06). This might mean avex will spend more on certain artists.

LMAO!!! Nice. That was damn funny!!!! :lech

roflmao 10/10

I don't think this has anything direct connection.

A bit of a good and bad situation? =\

An increase of stocks is good but to say that its out of sympathy? Erm...?

Can't believe Avex's stock still get so much influence from ayu after all these years..

it's a good thing...

your right ^^

She already did that in 2007.

I agree. I don't think it has anything to do with Ayu. EXILE already has a million selling album + with their 3 Best albums next year + a dome tour, I think a lot of investors are buying avex stock.

Maybe this could be the key to the extremely small chance of GUILTY reaching #1 this week.

Yup. If GUILTY doesn't reachs the #1 this week, it won't have how to reach anymore.

I thought it wasn't a full arena tour. few arena's only at the biggest cities and mostly smallers halls elsewhere ?

Nope, it was all arenas.

^that's it, few arenas and halls, that's why they call it Arena Tour.

i'm sorry to bother, i don't know anything about Koda,lol..

Actually, if I'm reading the Japanese correctly, it doesn't say the stock price has gone up. In fact, it's dropped a touch (13 yen). The article says that the amount of trading of Avex' stock has increased - so it's become more active on the market. That could be because some people want out and it could be because others want in. If the price has only dropped 13 yen in the last day (that's about 1% - last close was 1,337 yen/share), it would appear the overall price effect is minimal. We'll have to watch it for the next few days.

Stocks change every day though..

Why would it happen after Ayu's announcement? :|

^ Yeah, you have a point. Stocks would rise if there was an actual change in how much avex has sold...

Geez I kind of don't like that...:/
The stocks are increasing just over pity for Ayu? >=(
How humiliating!

^ I hope Truehappiness is right...

Seriously. EXILE sold tons way before January 7th, so why now? Why did it rise after Ayu's announcement? No one will know. D:

Psh, you're right but I would be soooo mad if they blamed her! :curse
It wouldn't be right considering she was the one who made Avex rich and kept them going strong. If you think about it, it would be really messed up and would probably cause me to go over and hurt them all! xD

I have nooo idea :[ That would be humiliating though >.>;

I'm sry for the misunderstandings caused...

Lame.

13 yen is like nothing. :|

^That's what i thought too. 13yen.. but seems like the taiwan media is making a big deal out of it.. cos the tone they used is like blaming ayu.

How does being deaf make Avex's stock drop?

13yen is alot if you have many shares...right?.

Because she's the Goddess.

Wait...I don't understand. You just said that on the 7th the transactions increased, so how does that make the stocks decrease? :tired

And 13 yen really doesn't seem like a lot. And I don't think it's fair to blame this on Ayu. I don't even understand how an unfortunate health problem with her could make the stocks drop. O_o

^Transactions in the sense of ppl both buying and dropping the stocks.. total up to 269,600.. since at the end of the day avex lost 13yen stocks.. means out of the 269,600 transactions, there are mo ppl dropping stocks than those buying them..

It's said to be the highest transaction rate so far.. the previous one was during 11th of dec..

it's in 7th Jan's 'Wo Bao'. i took a peek at the person sitting beside me on the mrt.

singapore news? which one???

I think it seems like a coincidence. :/

Why must it be Ayu??!!! Why not Koda Kumi instead!!!

Dunno. :/

Ayu's still avex's top artist, regardless of sales. She's got uber-consistency compared to some of these other acts who will probably only have a year or two of "fame" :|

its very sad if they losing money because of that...i will bomb japan down!

Yea... I'll supply u with your bombs.

As of today, the stock has now gone up 25 yen/share. Stocks generally fluctuate every day, so even though there's increased trading for avex, the price is currently staying about the same.

Anyone who wants to track Avex' stock can do so at the Tokyo Stock Exchange .

I couldn't get a direct link to Avex' stock page that would actually work, so you'll see a "company search" area. Just type avex. Then when the results page comes up, click the "Display of Stock Price" button.

Yeah, I agree with some of you who are questioning why Ayu's deafness affected decreases in stock O.o;

Isn't the Nikkei kinda going in the shitter in general?

13 yen is not so much. the stock price will recover!

so it meas decrease the stock not increase??
poor..
but 13 yen is not much...

People feel sorry for her obviously.
