Matsuura responds finally - on Twitter:
Quote:
If we were such a bad company, then all the artists in avex would have said that they wanted to leave. All I can say is….we’re just a good company. A company that doesn’t talk well I guess. The matter this time too, honestly we were the ones who suffered the most damages.
Everything we could do, we did. But, I don’t know why they still chose that person. And this was the result! It probably couldn’t be helped. If Baek has anti-social powers, we can only do this. For us, even until the end, we were asking them to choose avex. But, I don’t even know why I was rejected, I still love these 3 people.
Like it spilled out from the inside, these are not lies…. The above.

Um, if you remember, Matsuura-san, back in 2001, your biggest artist at the time DID want to leave. Why? Because you FORCED her to release her best album too. But she didn't leave, because she knew if she did, she wouldn't be able to come back to you.
And those were her words.
(I think we all know who I'm talking about.)
So yeah, there's probably artists who want to, they're just afraid to speak up. Maybe our boys will set a precedent.
Also, I think this is a time where a series of 140-character messages just doesn't do. It leaves room for things to be misinterpreted (see Chiba-san's Tweets from yesterday), and above all, looks yet again, really unprofessional.
