Well one thing was about how she wanted to sing her song with Juno, but because his brother was part of JYJ, the part of Tohoshinki that broke away, the current members of Tohoshinki complained and she wasn't allowed to sing it. So she (with reason) got annoyed.

Japan (and also Korea) have a huge senpai/kouhai culture, so the fact that Avex allowed such a complaint to be listened to caused issues.


Then there was also an issue with who could perform last. I forget why it started, but in the end Ayu performed 2nd to last and Tohoshinki got the closing spot. That only happened once though. This was 2011 and 2012 I believe. Personally I didn't mind her performing 2nd to last because I could leave early lol.
