Who's to say they aren't already doing the better things out there? Just because ayu is a celebrity and avex is a rich record comapny doesn't mean the law shouldn't be enforced towards them. It actually makes me glad to see that in Japan they aren't all sweety when it comes to celebrities. If anyone's to blame, maybe it's the media that is blowing this out of proportion. You can't blame the police for doing their jobs. In my country it gets to the point that media lick celbrities so much that they give special time in TV shows so that the celbrities can defend themselves and they even try to clean their images, and osmetimes they've made some pretty foul crimes like driving drunk and hitiing and killing people while driving. And then people go: [ "aww" poor him is suffering because of the law, now his image is tarnished]. To the hell with hypocrisy! ayu is not to blame for this incident but saying this should just be overlooked is a little too much. They have already decided that something illegal happened in that event, so nothing fairer than doing a close investigation on the matter. Putting this to rest would be an offense to japan's citizen's who pays taxes to have their rights assured. it's pretty annoying that media puts a lot od sensasionalism over this, but then, that's not the police fault.
