Kuu chose to do this herself.

Kuu doesnt decide what Avex will do. She is not president of company. She has a ontract and only Avex can change it. And when promotion is cancelled its not cos of she said that...This is called business lamb.

When you can read japanese, you can tell me what it says.

But the translation time and time again will tell you that SHE is choosing not to make appearences. She is choosing not to go and promote the album.

Just because she isn't out there dosen't mean its not going to sell.

Besides, even bad publicity helps sales.

Besides after all the money she's been racking in these past few years, Koda Kumi has enough standing in the business to cut of promotion if she wants to.
" Avex said that as a excuse for what she said, promotion will be stopped.
Scandals in Japan wont bring you fame but shame."

source?

Maybe what you heard was: Avex is supporting her decision to suspend her promoting until the bad press dies down.

Exactlyyyyy.

Scandals in Japan wont bring you fame but shame. Her Cds buy at most teenagers, and thanks to this their parents wont buy them the CD and wont allow them to listen a singer who offended their pride.

Seems to me that marekcarey is having some wishful thinking Kumi is a cash cow and avex won't dump her so easily.

[marekcarey]

cant you go through this? are u normal? her promotion is stopped and she made a lot of problems and you WONT change it okay? so breathe and continue to live. you wont die cos of she is fired and aswell you wont get more bread to eat if she wouldnt. so realize yourself.

I'm sorry to say this, but you might want to take your own advise?

What you're saying doesn't make much sense to me. There is no news anywhere saying that they fired her. A huge company like Avex will not fire an artist like Koda Kumi just because of something she said. Artists make mistakes, they are humans, just like everybody else. Besides, that's bad wording because a recording company doesn't 'fire' an artist, they terminate their contract.

I'm not a fan of Koda Kumi. I'm not interested in her, even so, what others are saying makes a lot more sense than what you are saying.

[Halla]

the fate of Koda's Viseé contract is still undecided.

I do think it's likely tho that she'll lose plenty of her commercial endorsement deals. The advertisers might not want to wait for her to end her hiatus, they need someone for promo-work sooner.
There's no shortage of suitable idols/models/artists who to pick for campaigns, why pick Kuu who might possible be hated by a important customer base instead of someone new & fresh?

I didn't think Kuu was a good pick for viseé anyways, I don't think Kuu has the face for make-up ads & beauty shots.
Kuu's Gillette ads are sorta bad compared to hitomi. Kuu's stumpy legs vs hitomi's model-ish long legs, it wasn't really working for Kuu ...

[Ayumiko]

If koda were to be replaced by a new spokesperson for visee, I highly doubt they will use ayu again. They already had her and plus her image moved on to a more mature higher class. Brands like christian dior would be more suited for ayu. If Erika didn't screw up, I think she would have a high chance to be the next spokesperson. Leah? I dunno...

I wasn't fond of Kumi's Gilette ads either. Kumi doesn't have long legs in comparison with artists like hitomi. Plus there's no shortage of models which have long legs which could've done a better job.

With regards to Visee, well Kumi wasn't bad especially after Beni. Imo Beni was the most mediocre Visee contract. Kumi just has her hit and miss moments, where sometimes she looks good, while others she looks awkward. However Ayu seemed more fit for that role in her time. Anyway if Kumi gets replaced it'll probably be someone young since Visee is usually focused on fresh faces.

[Halla]

Otsuka Ai is more cute than anything, I don't think she's suited for Viseé which is more sexy & hip.

Viseé really downgraded after Ayu. Beni is really fug & I just don't think the face is Kuu's best asset, I have to admit tho that her visee promos are probably the best photos of her.
Anna Tsuchiya was alright, but I'm not too fond of her either.

I think alan would be best suited for a cosmetics campaign, but her look is more classic so maybe she'd be better suited for a bit classier brand like Kanebo or something?

IMO most beautiful artists on avex:
Ayu
alan
hitomi
Hitomi Shimatani

I think you don't know how the Japanese music industry works mate. Usually it would take something much much bigger for an artist to get fired. When a scandal takes place usually the record label takes the artist away from the spotlight so the audience can "cool down".

[Ayumiko]

There is no way avex will dump koda over this scandal. It is still not official if her endorsement deals are terminated. As of now her sites are just temporary closed.

on the other hand, I read in the chinese newspaper the empress of the imperial family in Japan gave birth to the prince after she was 35....so in a way koda 'offended' the imperial family. o_O...

what?


That was the first post I've read that made absolutely no sense. I don't care if Koda Kumi is out of a job, which she's not, but your insinuating things with no basis or source except your dislike for the artist.

so

LMFAO! I didn't understand that post at all either. I think he was saying that we won't starve just because Kuu got fired (which she didn't), but I don't speak whatever garble it was written in

Koda kicked off! O_O XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

OMG OMG XDDDDDDDDDDD

Posts like this are what could get this thread closed. I'm impressed by your maturity.

[rikku411]

Hmm, this thread seems to be going all over the place xD

If it is true that she got kicked from Visee, then that's unfortunate.

I won't get into the whole thing with her 'suspension' and Avex

[KuroixShiroi_Namida]

I still think Otsuka Ai is the prettiest in avex but iunno if she'll be suitable for visee though. Leah Dizon? She doesn't look pretty much.

This is kinda off-topic but what is this photo shoot for?:

Because it's kinda fugly ;x!
