[NEWS] Eason Chan critcises Ayu of Lip-synching

[CRAZYBOAT]

I always liked Miriam and she's very classy. She's not like Eason, she speaks the truth and is always fun to watch her perform. I'm glad she didn't resort to Eason's level.

And I think it's great that so many HK fans are not buying Eason's CDs anymore. It is encouraging for Ayu that so many people are on her side.

[Ayumiko]

On the radio this morning, this incident was mentioned. The show was called: 茶小? fast news, the host:茶小? who also went to the concert, (the tv news spotted her attend and showed her leaving) mentioned: the ayu drunk showing bra incident, and also mentioned about eason accusing ayu lip sync incident.

She said: Earlier eason, after attending Japan queen ayumi hamasakis HK concert, he openly told the media he suspected ayu to lip sync 1/3 of the concert. This incident caused 90% of ayu fans in HK very angry and together they are not going to buy his albums till he publically apologizes to ayu, and also wants ayus record company to sue him. (Host comments: she doubt the company would. usually record companies will not do that unless its a big issue) After that she said easons manager said eason always say things very straight forward. he will not apologize (I dont know if he is refering to the manager himself or eason) (Host comments: lip synching or not, no one knows for sure. Even though he is not the only one of accusing her of lip sync, he was the only one to accuse her so openly to the media. That was not a smart move when he doesnt have any evidence. Only spectulating. For sensitive issue like this, its better not to say stuff like that and should keep it to yourself, especially something like this where you cant prove she did or not, and if she didnt he could get a lot of trouble from her record company.)

My opinion, if he continues to talk before thinking, its just the matter of time till he gets in crap from another record company. This is not the first time he critized a artist. I also agreed it wasnt a smart thing to do. Smart thing is what mariam yeung did. Dont get involved! stupid old fart grasshoppers

Japan has so many live music shows on TV, their artistes have so many opportunity to perform live and train their stamina as well, plus with all the stringent training and all that. And we also know that Japan has advanced technologies and they are very particular about quality.

Well, a lot of chinese artistes who don't have good singing (even when they are popular) have their studio recording edited so that they can sound good on their CDs, well this is sad when the real good singers usually do not get the recognitions they deserve.

And chinese singers always attend concerts by fellow singers. Why? Either they are really supporting their peers or they just want to be mentioned in the news that so-and-so was at this concert, see how supportive he/she is with the performer. And they always get front row seats. Even if they buy the most expensive tickets, special arrangements must be done to ensure them front row seats. Especially when the artistes are from the same company, you would have guessed their company got the tickets for them from the concert organizer even when they are not interested at all. They just go for the sake of their names getting mentioned in the news.

[Sim']

Let's complain all xDDDD!
Fans from America, China, HK, and from all the world, UNITE!
He should give excuses to the public for what he said >.<

Go, Ayufans are the BEST xDDDDD

[Peger]

This has all been manipulated by the media...there's not reason to flip out and send hate mail to his company. This isn't going to hurt ayu in any way.

[truehappiness]

Well, the translations of what he did say are kind of "wtf?" to me..

Like, "You can't sing and dance and sound that good! You just can't!"

It's like, have you met Namie Amuro? And can you even make that judgement when you aren't even a "fan" of the singer you're watching and you haven't even heard 90% of the songs in a CD quality form?

That's also the same in Japan. imo, he's one of the least manufactured artists in HK.

"Get a Life" was a live album and sold less than 5,000 copies in HK as it was no where in the yearly ranking.

"Get A Life" LIVE CD actually won the IFPI HK highest selling album award. The awards were handed out this past March. Check the news.

Even if URANUS was comparing "Life Continues" with "Secret", "Life Continues" is a mini-album while "Secret" is a full studio album.

So I guess that's where his jealousy of JPOP singers come from. Of course, that's probably just one of the reasons.

Obviously, because it's a BEST album. "How?" was his first Mandarin album in 2 years and it was right after his hiatus. Plus, there was 0 promotion for the album. (I don't even think he went to Taiwan to promote it).

http://www.eolasia.com/

Theres a thread at jpm asking ppl to send in their complaints here:
eolasia@gdeasia.com

so for those of you that would like to complain to the company can do that. Im writing it now

LOL People do your research before you try to complain. Jill is part of A-Music/East Asia which is also Miriam Yeung's music label. A-Music/East Asia is the concert organizer for Ayu's concert. Jade Kwan is part of BMA. Eason's label is Cinepoly which is part of Universal.

that bunch of grasshoppers are so damn lame. they should also apologise too for under estimating ayu's abilities.

how did Eason insult them? they used to be the 4 kings, well IMO

have to try and stay on topic, but ran out of insults xD ...

but Eason shall pay for this, hk Ayu fans should organise a protest against him

that was how he got REALLY famous last time, wasnt he? he got the front coverage for weeks... everyone really hated him tat time, but soon people forgot about that... and now he comes again, but with the ASIA Queen - Ayu...

chinese say: dunno how to write the word DIE

Thanks for pointing that out I saw their cd pics on the first page so I thought they could be in the same company. but I wasnt even complaining about them being in the same company. The link is for ppl to send in their emails to complain about him not others.

Its the same host alright but its different show. She said something different. Ill translate it.

[ayu_fan929]

The link has nothing to do with Eason Chan or any part of his management. I don't see why people should be writing to an organization that will not be doing anything.

I think it was With U (and maybe DO THE MOTION?) wasn't live in her BEST OF SOUL tour. And according to Japanese fans, 5 songs aren't live in the MADE IN TWENTY tour.

Regardless, the 40k figure is for HK only. Plus, Cantonese pop has close to 0 appeal in the Mandarin speaking areas.

Ok I tried translating it as good as possible.

Male guy: Todays headline: Local 8 main headlines all concentrate their fire power to publish Ayumi Hamasakis one and only show, changes in 8 concert outfits sings and dances.

Female host: April 9, Monday. Today is last day of easter holiday. Do you feel like you have to think about what to do at work tomorrow and feel headache? Be ready tomorrow and make sure you dont be late to work. Ok now for todays headlines.

Male guy: Todays headline: Local 8 main headlines all concentrate their fire power to publish Ayumi Hamasakis one and only show, changes in 8 concert outfits sings and dances. Mariam yeung, niki chow and 茶小? (the female host) all prased the concert with one exception from eason chan saying the opposite. Not only did he fell asleep while watching, he also suspect ayu of lip synching
1/3 of the concert. Eason half dreaming half awake still can bust her. Even in his condition, this cant excape from the corner of his ears. definitely a music person (musician)

Female host:
Japan queen ayu sister (thats what they call her) ayumi hamasaki, was at HK for a concert show. If you look at the headlines, all you can see is just the same 2 pictures even though they are all in the main headlines in the newspaper. Thats because everyone who enters inside the concert, the reporters, all have to give up their cameras till after the concert ends when they leave and the cameras will be given back to them. Even the fans have to do the same. No exception. Everyone had to allow the security guards to open their bags to check. If theres cameras they wll take it away. Even though the show started half a hour late, but the crowd atmosphere quickly covered the whinning noise. Ayumi Hamasakis show can be said as almost perfect. Its believeable that one of the audience, 白雪仙 (the old chinese opera lady) can definitely get some ideas from this...because that fushia with cranes kimono is really so beautiful. I think next time if 白雪仙 have a show, she might have a similar outfit.

As for the dancers outfits, they were important and thoughtful. The materials are expensive. There was a person in the audience who have knowledge and studies textiles said: woah they give these outfits with such materials for dancers to wear? its unbelieveable!

There was also 2 females and 2 males in aerial hula hoops performance also made the whole crowd crap their hands very hard. From the stage set up, sound quality, lighting, fire blast,fireworks, lasers all moved to the HK colliseum and was seen at the concert. What you wanna see can be seen in the show. The sponsor Lam?? in the backstage told me there should of been a water fountain but the stage couldnt fit it so they had to cut it out. That was too bad. Ayus seriousness, and even her animation logo clip was carefully perpared. Just by watching the animation clip alone, everyone watched it very happily. Also the ribbons that fall from above have ayus signature on it as well. Every details was carefully correctly calculated. At the last performance, there was 4 huge glowing flashing heart shape frames, moved from left and right to the center to form a extreme flashing giant heart. Also adding ayu and the dancers huge colorful feather dance outfits, really wah, you want to see colorful you get colorful.

This ayu show, it looks like ??something x modern version concert combination. It was extremely exciting visually. We were at the audience seats and our eyes kept getting bigger and bigger. see this is what a great show is. I dont understand how eason can fall asleep in the concert. but he is good. Once he opens his eyes, he caught her lip synching. The whole show was cleanly done. Ayu from start to finish did not say anything besides sing, dance, change outfit, sing, dance, change outfit till encore, she changed into t-shirt and jeans and walked out casually, then used english and cantonese and said I am ayumi hamasaki to treat her fans. After that, with tears all over her face, she thanked the fans support.

This grand production is a 3 side stage meaning you can only sell about 7000 tickets. I thought the sponsor of this concert would lose money but the backstage boss, lam?? told me seriously, hey its not gonna lose money. Looks like beside thanking ayu, all the ayu fans, the backstage boss sponsor, and also tin?? (a guy from government or something?), ayu didnt want to leave HK from all the fun, delayed from going back to Japan. Ayu using action to help promote HK tourism. tin?? please write a thank you letter to ayu for this.

ok Im not sure if she was serious or being sarcastic when she said eason was good. Once he opens his eyes, he caught ayu lipping. I also thought it was interesting that she said according to the backstage sponsor boss that there should of been a water fountain but the stage couldnt fit it so they took it out. I also think that was too bad D=

[bluegie]

I really think this thread should be closed... It's getting out of control somehow. People, it has been three days already and it's time to move on to new things..

[norain]

Well, I think the news should continue. Just not the bashing. To each they have their own opinion.

And in that translation...how can he have such a good eye and catch something like that? I'm not sure. Oh well.

Hopefully something happens and Ayu is praised again or etc.

What does that have to do with me saying the album selling approximately 5,000 copies? BTW, selling 5,000 copies in HK is decent because to get into the yearly top 10, an album just need to sell 10,000 copies or more. The highest selling album last year was 60,000 copies by Hacken Lee.

Okay, then why don't we compare that album to Ayu's "Memorial Address" which debuted on the top 5 in Taiwan. I'm not going to bother mentioning her Japanese sales because it's so obvious that Ayumi's MUCH more popular than Eason in Taiwan judging on the CD sales. As for Ayumi's popularity in Hong Kong, I would say Ayumi, as a foreign singer, is extremely popular with all the headlines the past week. Not to mention her sell out concert.

Taiwan is NOT Japan. BEST albums don't do very well in Taiwan. S.H.E's recent BEST album debuted below the top 10. That says alot. And for Ken to debut so high in Taiwan with a BEST album is impressive for someone with no promotion there.

Neither did Ken. Ken didn't perform or went to Taiwan during the release of his UTABAKA album. What's your point? Just admit the fact that the popular local singer in HK is not doing well elsewhere. And now he's resorted to bashing other artists to gain some attention.

[Ayumiko]

oh well...to think positively...atleast some people enjoyed the show. We got a concert review from a HK radio host instead of from a fan...it seems like she enjoyed the show as well. Its all good. Atleast we know a non ayu fan enjoyed it with praise. If eason doesnt apologize or whatever, its his business I guess. People will know what kind of person he is if he continues to be disrespectful to another artist. and he wont be a widely known respectful artist like Andy Lau. If you cant be respectful to other ppl, people will not respect him. His careless thoughtless action may not cost him lawyer letters but it definitely costed him to lose some possible fans or maybe existing fans who is also fans of ayu.

Are you sure? A BEST 2 has held the top two positions on the Jpop chart for the last four weeks. Maybe things have changed in Taiwan.

[norain]

I believe they're talking bout native artists.

[..:Hot:Like:Wow:..]

I find it funny yet expected of the people who are protecting that ass.

No matter what, he is still and ugly stooge who has no right to say what he did about Ayu, I really hope he get what he deserves, the arrogant...
