Hamasaki Ayumi and Avex face investigation by Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department

[truehappiness]

The tricky thing is, however, her visiting record stores. If she decided to do that on her own accord to promote her album/book whatever without permission, she's at fault. But if the record store thing was part of the event Kodansha had planned out, then she's not. So I hope they investigate fairly and straighten things out quickly.

It appears that the record store thing was before the Kodansha-related event, but to be honest, I don't think THAT is what caused the uproar... though I wonder how many artists can randomly cause a riot in less than an hour with their appearance in a CD store..
