I saw an article talking about how the harassment in the M drama was basically true and not quite as intense as it is in reality. One of the guys interviewed also said they remembered talking to Ayu during her indie debut and it was like "This girl would never become famous" and at some point when she was promoting NOTHING FROM NOTHING she had given them the CD but then they just threw it away.

I think it was a remix version of an episode that aired with commentary from two guys?
