Seriously that was the first thing that crossed my mind when she said that...I didn't think anything else she said was that snotty...but that line is just damn lol

I think...I mean it's kinda sad...but I mean, any mistake a person makes that causes the police to investigate the company they work for...pretty sure they're gonna get fired lol

uh for the discussion above...dude it's like not ever her fault...she didn't know any different...that's why we can smell the firing of some PR people

i love that. diva ayu is awesome
lol and as if she'd REALLY go to jail. lots of haters are like "LOL LOCK HER UP I CANT W8 4 HER 2 ROT N JAIL *MOUTHBREATHE*"

[k21sh3n]

"I thought this issue was cleared in advance", while she smiles watching her staff

I think so!! hahahaha.. at least sumone will get scolded. It seems that all of the staffs told her that everything have been taken care of..


and ya.. I think Ayu didn't think that much, maybe she wasn't even aware the number of people surround her.. and personally I think it's an appropriate action to visit the stores.. since..welll you know she's a singer, who's selling music.

[Francotirador]

Why Ayu is taking responsibility for this?... haaa... of course... she's the face of an industry.. next headline: Ayu goes to prison!!! lol.

The media is making a mountain out of a mole hole, what a misunderstanding!!

[Chef+Vanny]

Its really ridiculous for me to think that ayu actually needs permission to visit the shops???it makes no sense
she even needs to ask for permission to use the washroom
u never know...
she might be attacked by some assasin

[AyuHamasaki01]

wow, that's stupid. She is free to go wherever she wants ... she is not a prisoner (yet XD)

[BoBo]

heh... chance

That's what I want to know lol.
If there was a happening of something so illegal there then why they didn't arrive to the "crime scene"?

Or at least, why they started to "give a damn" a month afterwards?

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

last time i checked she's a human being, who are allowed to walk anywhere they like. since when do they need permission? i mean even if there was permission, do they honestly think that people wouldn't have done the same thing?

and fyi, the police in Japan are basically USELESS. if you came here, you'd know. they don't interfere with anything! there's countless stories of the police watching men beat up women and not do anything because they don't want to interfere. the police even came to one of my friends parties to ask them to be quiet and asked for my friends ID's (who were drunk) and my friends said "no!!!" and the police just nodded and walked away and nothing ever happened again. seriously.

[waterballoon]

^ When I step up to be her PR manager I wouldn't allow this to happen LOL.

[C+R+E+AYUMI]

She needs a permission to walk along the streets and visit some stores???

they're CRAZY!!!!

anyway Avex and Ayu are so rich that they're not going to have any problem paying a penal LOL

[Ayusan]

This do not surprise me, you have to ask permission for special events in the streets, even to film 30 secs for a movie, you have to ask to each store the permission, and more ... I know it since from the backstage of a french movie filmed in Japan. When they didn't get the permission, they filmed the movie parts in the streets anyway, the quicker way possible, with two guys checking for police or such .... they had more than once to run away quickly not to be caught.

You can't disturb the peace of the streets like that in their opinion and have to ask permission. As ridiculous it may sound to us.

[douggn]

Its not ayus falt that happened, she's not the one running around stopping trafic and that. I don't agree with her needing permission to go to a public place. Maybe when ayu said she was going to the book launch then she said she wasn't maybe she had trouble getting permission or what not and said, stuff it im going

This was really a irresponsible move.

i agree with you, the line that ayu said sounds irreresponsible, she's a celebratity, and she should know that appearing in a public area and doing promotion will cause chaos.
but it's quoted from a mag, and it might not be the exact words she said.

I don't understand why you guys kept thinking it's stupid to ask for permission.
Try looking for the police view view, if the event organiser had ask for permission early, preparations could have been done.
or if you are just shopper who don't want to see ayu, would you be happy going there to find that there's no proper barrier or path for you to get to your destination?

Though, sentence to jail sounds stupid....and it is not ayu's fault.

no wonder my friends said japan police is corrupted, and more and more crimes are happening and criminals gets away....
even my friend manage to bribe a police when she was caught speeding to work, she just wink her eyes and gave the police 2000yen

I agree with you. If something illegal happened there the police should have acted and do something about it though for the event it was I don't understand how much a permission was necessary but it might be my mistake in that case.
Since there was a crowding in shibuya (and the event was announced days/weeks before) and maybe there was no permission (even if the whole thing sounds wierd), they should have done something about it. The media should be filled with things about it being an illegal event because of the lack of permission.
It happened a month earlier while the police and media knew about it and they woke up just now.

On that part some people on the board are quick to judge her while the magazine could change what she said to something totally different with a totally different meaning (if she even said something that close to it). And even if she said it I think that she would answer like that because it's not her responsibility to ask for permission (if it's needed), the people and the event, and she is also a human being. As I said in that case I might have been that indifferent just like her but it all depends and that's again if that's even what she said. I think some people are just quick to judge her/it at this point.

That's also very true, avex are responsible for ayu's activities, events and schedule since she signed there back in 1998. How come SHE is being accused for not asking the permission?

I agree with you.

I don't think we should rely totally on the quotes. They are from Friday, and is translated from Japanese, to Chinese, to English. Much can change between translations and information may change, or appear different.

According to SINA, Ayumi is accused because it was her choice to visit all the music shops in the area. This happened spontaneously, and was not planned by Avex. Many other artists had probably not been allowed for this by their staff, it shows how much power she has over her own career. ^-^
