I mean, they barely have any censorship laws on television.

Ok... here we go:
Don't take the fact that you don't like Ayu's post MA work as they are the same... Even if most of those albums are rock oriented, they don't take the same kind of rock as main influence... Secret is Hard Rock influenced, while Guilty has tones of Metal. (miss)understood isn't a rock album at all, and so is My Story. Next Level doesn't sound like those too.
Ayu has pro-women songs, gay music video, kiss on the mouth on scene, and this guy was chinese, "Asia is one" and the list goes on. If you think all those are not a problem over there, go study a little of their culture. This can not atract censorship, but is far from being well seen over there.
IMO that's why she aways releases the controversal stuff as the b-side or less promoted side of a single were the main track is generic and easy-selling.... (Days/Green, fairyland/alterna, etc)
And people should stop talking about how Madonna is an atention *****! The woman can't even fart without people saying she is seeking atention! What if she adopeted african babies? She was trying to have more babies and she can't! At least she helped some kids to have a better live (and many more founding schools over that continent). I really doubt she would make and statement about Michael and change her own website in order to pay homenage just for the sake of having more promotion
