not sure where to put this. feel free to move this thread

The Avex department based in Beijing had come to the end due to financial situation and their way to pick up new artists.

alan had been transferred to another company. artists under Avex Taiwan are not affected.

Oh dear... I'm not sure how this will affect Ayu and China...

[Aderianu]

does it mean that ayuchina and ayumifans will no longer receive CD before anyone else?

[kendelle]

Oh wow, kind of surprising news o_O

I guess that Avex will just employ other companies as subsidiaries to publish albums in China. Like Aderianu said, I wonder what will happen with AyuChina's and Avex's relationship?

[truehappiness]

Did we ever know if they were getting their CDs from avex china? After all, they were the Japanese presses so perhaps they were getting them from the main label in Japan?

[toniayu]

that could mean no more HK versions?

[AyuGAME]

oh...wow..i feel this is kinda huge...i hope AVEX is alright

[rusuke]

OH this is sad.

[Pinguu]

So it means no more Chinese versions of Ayu's CDs... I was waiting for FIVE to be released there... It's pretty sad.

oh thank u

[CherryMoon]

I dont think it will affect anything from HK and taiwan, maybe only china products.
poor alan, the way u said that she is "transferred" sound like she is a product. hahaha. she's such a rare gem in the jpop industry.

[AyumiAi]

oh nooo

[yoshino]

aww that's sad. I would still love to see Ayu's CD in chinese versions.

[alternarist]

hmm? oh wow Avex china is dismissed? thats kinda shocking.

[JackieRos]

Wait what o.o wow

[waterballoon]

so is this why alan was "fired"?

[amorphose]

I wonder if it has anything to do with J-Pop becoming less and less popular outside of Japan as K-Pop steals the spotlight?

[ハート〜ブレーカ♥]

^ that makes sense to me... It would explain why they weren't getting alot of money. But also, if you think about it, many K-Pop artists do J-Pop debuts and sign to avex for them. So they'd be getting the money from that... I don't know.

[sesshy]

My first thought was alan when I read this. So she did get transferred... And I thought they were doing well in China. I'm not too worried about Ayu, but her fans there...
