theirs also this news paper article but i only have a picture

Spoiler:

Hamasaki Ayumi (32), who cancelled her appearance on TV Asahi’s “Music Station”‘s 25th Anniversary Special Program on the 16th, returned to Japan from Los Angele's from the night of the 17th. Though Hamasaki offered “a deep apology”, her company avex has taken a stance that punishment is inevitable, stating that she will be “dealt with harshly”.

Regarding the reason for the last-minute cancellation, MSta and avex both put out that it was because “her body was weak after contracting acute pharyngitis, so she could not board the flight back”. On the 12th, 4 days before the program, Hamasaki complained that she felt ill. On top of that, the “special privilege” of closing the program, which she thought was hers, was given to AKB48 instead. Hamasaki was insulted, and openly expressed her unhappiness to her staff.

However, this problem with performance order “could have been easily solved”, according to a MSta staff. What became a problem with the program was the reality that she “could not fly back in time”. Even though Hamasaki claimed to have been searching for flights back with all her might, suspicions from some TV staff still abound: “Did she really want to come back?”

１６日のテレビ朝日「ミュージックステーション」２５周年記念特番への出演をドタキャンした浜崎あゆみ（３ ２）が１７日夜、成田空港着の航空機で滞在先の米ラスベガスから帰国した。トップシンガーとは思えない失態 に「大変申し訳ない」と謝罪。一方、所属先のエイベックスは「厳しく対処する」と厳罰も辞さない構え。休業 させて、心身をリフレッシュさせる可能性も出てきた。

浜崎は午後７時すぎ、ロサンゼルスを経由してシンガポール航空機で帰国。成田空港ではスタッフに左右を囲ま れながらも取材に対し「このたびは本当に大変申し訳なく思っています」と謝罪。少しやつれたような弱々しい 声だった。マスク姿ながら硬い表情はうかがえ、９８年の歌手デビュー時から出演してきた人気音楽番組の記念 特番に穴を開けた大失態に猛省している様子だった。

ドタキャンについてエイベックスは重くみており「あゆはわが社の“中興の祖”であり特別な存在。でも今回は 自己管理ができていないと指摘せざるを得ないもので、これでは後輩歌手ら他のアーティストに示しがつかない 。厳しく対処するほかない」（関係者）と厳罰やむなしの構え。先月も同社のライブイベント「ａ―ｎａｔｉｏ ｎ」で、出番などをめぐってスタッフと対立しており、功労者ゆえに多少のわがままは許してきた同社も、自分 の立場が見えなくなってきている“裸の女王”にデビュー１４年目で初めてお灸（きゅう）を据え る方針だ。

浜崎はこの日「体調は？」と質問すると「まだ…」と弱々しく答え、「頑張って」と声を掛けると「ありがとう ございます」とうなずいた。１３年間、全力疾走でエイベックスをけん引してきた不世出の歌姫。元日に「結婚 」を電撃発表したメモリアルイヤーに起きた騒動は、今後の活動を大きく左右しかねない事態になっており、一 度ゆっくりと心身を休ませることも必要な時期なのかもしれない。

I just hate how they say she was insulted to perform before AKB! sure it wasn't the case, cause she's smart enoug to understand what's going to happen if she doesn't perform at all!

[rusuke]

WoW! just wow!

On the 12th, 4 days before the program, Hamasaki complained that she felt ill. On top of that, the “special privilege” of closing the program, which she thought was hers, was given to AKB48 instead. Hamasaki was insulted, and openly expressed her unhappiness to her staff.

I was the one insulted on how they want Ayu to look being insulted and was unhappy about AKB.
OK. I really don't know what Ayu really felt that time but all we know is that ayu's ill and can't get a flight back home. These writers are just sick!

[AyUmIXx]

i absolutely doubted ayu would feel insulted that AKB performed the last.
i think ayu doesn't even care who perform last.
see, she didn't even care if she perform 2nd last for a-nation.
if she really care to perform last, she wouldn't care anything at all about JUNO.

this article is the most ridiculous one.

[njanjayrp]

This is a very sad example of how they're trying to attract their readers. A few years ago I might've even believed **** like this, but we've been all reading Ayu's tweets and TA posts and even though we don't know her in person it's pretty much safe to say that it doesn't seem like something she would say. Plus she rarely gets to close any of the shows...so yeah I doubt she'd ever complain about something as trivial as that.

[JackieRos]

avex has taken a stance that punishment is inevitable, stating that she will be “dealt with harshly”.

WTF!!!! They act like it was her fault for being sick!!
That's not fair!!!!!!!!!!!

and so what if she didn't want to go back.

[noola chan]

This is so harsh !! why would they punish her for being sick ?
this is not something that she can control !
and what this stupid reason that the writer gave !!

poor ayu

[Bigtop]

I'm not sure about this, but this Ayu-MS absence that what I'm seeing appears to be looking more of a scandal than just a problem...?

[RayJason]

I hate avex.

[L....]

OMG, punish ayu because she is sick and unable to attend MS?? whats wrong with avex! this is getting too ridiculous already! is not like she wanted to be sick at that time! i know fans are disappointed of her absence, but they cant blame her for being sick and unable to get back on time! ARGH! really hope ayu get well soon.

[asmAyumi1992]

If the punishment is to make her not perform, I can deal with it. Because it's the time for Ayu to rest herself

[ExodusUK]

I'm so stressed out over this, I can't imagine how Ayu is feeling..

yeah, that part seemed a little out of place. In fact, this whole ~article seemed pretty hodgepodge.

[joshohhhhh]

lol they make it sound as if she became ill on purpose. they talk of chastising her like a child. ridiculous.

[noisy_harmony]

Drama llama. They surely used AKB48 name to to attract attention.

Poor Ayu. And from now I'm just going to ignore this stupid company called avex.

[brener]

i told u guyz japanese media would turn this into a scandalous thing --' theyre s*hit

[ayu_ready?]

If I was Ayu I'd also be insulted to be substituted for AKB 48
no offense to their fans, but I really hate them and see nothing spectacular, just another bunch of forgettable cute kawaii girls the names of which I won't rememeber because there have been so much like them every single freaking year. they do sell much though but I don't care, all these groups are so the same, instead of having like one amazing powerful talented diva-artists we get these girls all over, heck.

anyway, truth or not...it's sad. this year seems to be bad for Ayu??I mean the a-nation thing and then this thing...it's worse than Koda's "fluid" case, even like that, God
AYU KEEP IT UP I LOVE SO MUCH

Japanese entertainment system is really harsh. the worst thing is that she's sick physically, and I hope she won't be mentally drained because of the case. because it's horrible to be depressed and be sick at the same time, gosh

[butterfly_ayu]

this became headline news? o.0 i didn't know it was that big of a deal. it's ridiculous that ayu would be punished for this.

You mad?

Anyway.....the article is clearly bogus to the point that its funny. You guys should know better, considering there have been worse rumors about Ayu in the past. I can't believe people take this seriously.

[ayumisrael]

lol, that whole article is funny rather than annoying or anything.
Non of it is true, unless if ayu got around US just to make people think that they searched for a flight.
