Every pop artists have haters, koda's death treats were public, most of the time they don't go this far (Utada talked about it on her "blacklist fans")

Ayu touches some themes that are not confortable, and not only the sexual thing... When I talk about the on-screen scece or the "asia is one" thing, I'm not taking in considerating west stantarts controverse, I'm talking about things that are problems OVER THERE. Ayumi has feminist songs (and some goes like "you don't need to marry", what is something to be taken in consideration), bashed Avex, has some half naked photoshots and the list goes on... this is not anything to write home about here, but it is a big deal over there! Of course is not going to shock japanese society like Madonna did in the Americas, but it's different... If she shocks Japan at this level, she will not sell anything (considering that in Japan, even using drugs can stop yout selling). But she is controversial all the way she can considering she doesn't want to be banned from music insdustry.

and I not saying it based on what I think, I talked to some friends that lived in Japan for years, and while the one who doesn't know her was impressed that she done some things I cited and still has fame, other one that knows her confirmed that she is controversial over there

But I'm not saying that she is the most controversial person ever, or the most on jpop (so isn't Koda), just that she is far from playing safe
