Ayu bashed on TV

[hsienko]

It's a damn shame that these disgusting people are using this tragic event just to bash Ayu. At least she donated something whatever number it was, the people who run this show and network probably didn't donate anything at all.

[ownsarai]

Exactly. The amount that was donated should not matter, Ayu has been helping and guiding people through this since day one. They really should stop with the bashing.

[JackieRos]

Ok someone is bashing an artist, this is not new

Ayu said she donated so I see no problem here

[HilaryDuffFanboy]

To be honest you gotta say while any donation is good, 5 million yen is paltry for someone like Ayumi Hamasaki.

[kagami]

What the hell is with everyone bashing Ayu? Why is it always her that gets so much stick from everyone? I don't blame her for not broadcasting it if/when she makes donations to anything, no matter what it wont be good enough for people anyway.

[Picaflor 7/4]

It's nice that ayu donated that much money, but I definitely see where the speculations come from that namie amuro donated a lot more than ayu even though ayu makes about 600mil yen more than namie annually. but any donation from anyone is very charitable.

[Mirrorcle World ～longing future～]

I don't think ayu donate that few money

[panda♥]

i'm sure Ayu will donate more if she hasn't already. not to mention she's teamed up with ViVi to make a charity tshirt and is considering a charity concert.

[emi♡]

No offense to everyone...but didnt you guys see the Entourage episode, when Matt Damon and Lebron James wanted Vince to donate to the kids charity...and he only donated like $10k?

And they were like "aren't you making $20m this year? Come on man."

I don't think it's appropriate to bash people in public over the donating...and I wouldn't expect Ayu to just go around announcing her donations, so they really don't have a right to say anything about her, since no one really knows at all, and it's really really tacky to say anything about any donations really, large and small in public, omg.

But um in my honest opinion, if that's all she donated...like if it was already years later, and that was it...like they said on Entourage..."$10k? That's a little light."

But whatever. No one really has a right to say anything. That's completely a private thing.

[TeamAyu2004]

^ too true, and besides she donates in other ways too.
I still think this whole thing is a shame.. but oh well, life will go on.

[koumori]

I'm sure with the amount Ayu has been talking about this and how much she has expressed love for her country and for the world really, and has been tweeting non-stop...I'm sure she will do everything she can to help.

[douggn]

there country is in need and they talk about this, its a donation despite how much money ayu donated to start is still a hudge amount anyways + her helpful twitter posts and now charity stuff with profits going to it, and regarles the amount, how much did those reporters donate? it just horrible what some will say about someone

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

Next time something like this happens and she decides to donate, she should inform that she donated, but without giving the exact digits. This could be if she donates anonymously.


I feel disgusted at how people think others are as "good" as the amount of money they donated. I haven't donated anything so you can imaging what that makes me.


And other thing, funny thing to see people making like the rich people is guilty because of the consequences of this catastrophe, is not like she or any other rich person planned this, as they make it seem like, ugh.

[Catzi]

I don't really see how this is an issue.

Besides, I'm pretty sure in a recent TA message she said something like she will continue to donate everyday until she can't anymore.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Namie donated 70,000,000 yen? yeah ****ing right.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

^^Yeah like, the money doesn't have to be donated all at once, why are they making judgments already?? Can't they just feed enough from the catastrophe to get better TV ratings?? Sickens me so much.

[TeamAyu2004]

It bothers people who really love ayu. But you cant make everyone happy, so take it as they come.

[jpopfan]

They should just be grateful that she along with others are donating.

[emi♡]

@TA2004: Yeah, when it's like ridiculous bashing like this, I mean, you just have to ignore it.

Everyone knows they're just *******s.

No smart person would listen to people like this.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

They should FIRSTLY be grateful that they are alive, second that the nuclear plants are still holding back yet, and so many other things in between before even thinking on how much and how less famous people donated. Seriously.
