I'd agree with you but for now I can't assume people in Japan don't care enough about this because I simply do not live in Japan and therefore do not know what the general public thinks of the whole thing. It really is kind of stupid but there are millions of people living on that island country and not all of them will be thinking the same things. Obviously someone who has never liked Ayu will be all over this news.

This was definitely after and something I totally forgot was another big scandal involving a person affiliated with avex.

In Tetsuya Komuro's case, I think his "scandal" was the most clear cut and no-brainer in that he blatantly committed a crime in bilking someone out of millions of dollars. Definitely hard to liken his situation to the other 3 (Ayu, Kuu, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi) in the gravity of the act committed.
