The only reason why people get up in arms is because this was publicized in that NTV Interview. Avex is nothing compared to all the slime in the business world, there are lots of good artists that get taken advantage of in the music business. Ayumi had it lucky by that point, especially compared to some others.
I think that Ayumi believed she should have had more power at that point because she's had a lot success. But she hadn't been on the scene for a relatively long time. Now if Avex said to do something and she says no, she'll have more of a standing because hey she's been there 10 years now.

Hikki, she probably doesn't have this problem because she's only had 5 albums and 1 best album in 10 years. XD And it wasn't even a best album, it was a singles collection XD
