I mean, you pick this random girl who already is a failed pop star and a gravure idol, invest time and money on her while she keeps on fucking things up on purpose and them you reward her fuck ups by sending her to live abroad for free. :B
No audition. No back catalogue. Just a lot of money invested on someone with nothing to back it up based on a hunch.
Doesn't sound very plausible.
I believe they met when she was full on living her night life, started dating, maybe even out of the fact he was rich, and he saw the potential as they grew closer. On Ayu's older interviews she always sugest she had done some questionable stuff she never really elaborated about.

It does sound murky but if I recall, she met him at a club owned or somehow tied to Avex? And that they had gone to karaoke a couple of times after clubbing?
I agree there could have been some questionable actions. I also like to picture a situation where Max was just really good at spotting raw, unpolished talent.
I also like the interpretation that Max understood that Ayu was skipping her vocal lessons because she was too strong-willed and creative for the rigid training that is the norm for Japanese training (constant repetition, copying other artists etc.) In a word, Ayu was different.

I need to go back and check. I thought it was a slightly more-finalized version of the original mystery demo. Thanks for the info!
