Ayu's trouble in Thailand

Source: Apple Daily (Hong Kong)

with translation by kawai (www.ahsforum.org)
please quote full URL for any reposts to other online medium.

According to Weekly Bunshun, Ayu was very uncooperative during her trip to thailand last year.
During her trip there as ambassador for Thailand's ruby produces, she was rude during her meeting with the queen, Ubol Ratana Mahidol. According to the laws there, she could have been persecuted immediately for her behaviors.

Interviews with staff on thailand's side and a staff in her recording label (edit:Avex) revealed that the Thailand government had spent 1.44 million Hongkong dollar in sponsoring her trip there, but received unreasonable reception from her.

Accusation #1: Ayu complained on why she has to go to places like this, and only agreed after her company's repeated explanation that it helps in her international career.

Accusation #2: When Ayu leaved Japan on november 26th, she refused to board the plane because of the time taken to check-in 1000 kg of luggage and there are others sitting beside her first class seat. In the end her favorite teddy bear took the seat beside her.

Accusation #3: Ayu specified that she wants to stay at hotel that can park helicopter, but she did not have intention to fly in helicopter. The relevant department arranged for a Thai dance group for a dance as a greeting to her, but she waved aside the performance.

Accusation #4: When she arrived at the military school for the award ceremony, (edit: should be a ceremony that declares her status as ambassador for Thailand's ruby produces.) she refused to attend the ceremony and stayed in the room. She was reportedly said that "You want me to kneel before the queen? No way!" and even left in a rush after telling them off by "I don't like it means I don't like it", injuring staff as a result.


Accusation #5: Ayu left quietly during the dinner after meeting the queen, and did not have a thai dance with her as planned. This had angered the royal family.

Ayu's company (edit:Avex) refused to comment on these accusations.


The Sun in Hong Kong also carried a similar report, with addition:

She requested to stay at Peninsula hotel, which has a helicopter pad.

Another request was to bring 200 minders with her, but this was rejected by the government.


[b]Added: these are news carried by Weekly Bunshun, with Hong Kong's media quoting their reports. please direct your flame to the right party

By the way, Ayu had responsed to these articles here

*frustrated* Isn't that the same Apple Daily that said crap about Ayu being the worst artist in Japan? Forgive me, but I lost all respect for Apple Daily back when they reported on the topic I just mentioned and disbelieve this tabloid. Why would they wait months later to supposedly reveal what happened in Thailand? Did it take them that long to make up a tabloid?

It seems like every time she goes to other places in Asia, tabloid seekers are right behind her looking for another victim to target, especially someone as popular as Ayu.

It's just tabloid junk. Exactly like what you'd see stateside. I'd just ignore it. Ayu is very grateful to her Japanese fans. There's no way she'd act like this, especially to a royal family.

I dunno, I think those stories are pretty hard to believe. Although it's possible that they are true, I certainly don't believe them. Whenever Ayu goes somewhere in Asia there is always a big crisis and something bad always supposedly happens to her. Those newspapers like to pubish so much crap about her. I really wish we could know the truth of what happened because I don't believe those newspapers. Apple Daily has a history of bashing Ayu so I don't believe anything they say. It's clear they have a grudge against her so I"m sure that anythign they say about her is biased and probably exagerated or totally not true.

It's probably not true. If it is, then Ayu was probably tired and forced to do something she couldn't at that time....you know, when you're forced to do something when you're very tired you end up throwing your frustrations on innocent people so maybe that's what could have happened.

Yeah, I agree with Impact. If it were true, that's probably the butt of it. But these tabloids are typical. Anyone who is popular is going to be trashed by someone.

Ayu doesn't seem to be that kind of mean person. I doubt its truth. I wonder what she has to say about all this......
