[2010] Major companies don't want Ayu in their commercials

[erika_ayu]

groupies?? as in gyaru??
awww why even Ueno Juri, i love her too

[[taskin.ayu]]

Sorry but LOL at the ICONIQ comment. XDD It's so mean.

[AyUmIXx]

totally... ICONIQ is pretty famous there in Japan rite now..
I even like her uniqueness being bald as an Asian Singer..
that's really brave!

[AyumiBest]

Well at least Ayu isn't number one but the reason is ridiculous.

i think they do, but ayu's income level automatically nullifies all her welfare benefits and advantages without a doubt

aww for erika,i really like her acting though,maybe should do something more than 1LoT now to gain back the trust and respect from people,well kinda...


and Ayu has numbers of groupies? im wrong? that is a good thing then,like some says,maybe they afraid that they had to pay her high and shes not going to sing in your CM,hello~~~ thats really good shes in the third last though

OT-hey they should take Ayu as the spokeperson for SK~2~ shes suitable with her perfect skin

I believe they are referring to her large entourage, not fans. This isn't the first time I've seen something that mentions her entourage (staff and dogs) being an annoyance, so they probably mean that.

[y_nathz]

Oh well.... =_="

[chloeM]

they should be happy that their sales has gone up while using ayu as the ambassador..~!

[emi♡]

I don't find their reason for her to be THAT bad...

Ayu is high profile, high status, she always has her entourage.

She must, first of all be very expensive to get at all, and then she has to be taken care of, treated, along with her staff, which is large and personal...they don't just hire some random cheap people...and thats all on top of production costs...


Some of these I find quite rude though. I can't imagine that any representative of a respectable company would come out and say these things publicly...but you never know...Japanese people never ever cease to amaze me with their ability to be so politely rude. You don't even know you're being insulted lol

Poor Yamada Yu <3 She isn't that popular though...

edit: oh It's like a survey thing...man...why couldn't they put up Ayu's estimated cost lol


The list of the people they do want is interesting...kinda...lol

Translation:

Want

1 Asada Mao ('Highly touched with her Olympic interview' 'Her stoic attitude leaves me with a good impression')

2 Ayase Haruka ('Her mellow makes me feel relieved' 'I like how she doesn't give the feel of going too forward')

3 Miyazaki Aoi ('She keeps her pure image' 'She became too big of a actress that we can't even reach her')

4 Aoi Yuu ('It feels like she'll be a very big actress in the future' 'I would like to work with her once')

5 Sasaki Nozomi ('It feels like she hasn't been used too much' 'It seems like she'll do anything')

6 Nakama Yukie ('When saying top actress, it's this lady' 'She's just beautiful!')

7 Horikita Maki ('She has a pure charm' 'No scandal' 'Conservative image')

8 Aibu Saki ('Having this many deals (?) within this commercial industry is a evidence to her abilities')

9 Dan Rei ('Seems to look good with a kimono' 'Just by looking at her, she makes ones feelings calm')

10 Miyazato Ai (She's known by many different age groups' 'She's one of the few women who has an ability to do world competitions')

11 Kanno Miho ('Has an ability to act image' 'Has an appeal towards female audiences')

12 Perfume ('We can expect the music and the commercial to synchronize with each other' 'Their impact is great')

13 Kuriyama Chiaki ('Her straight black hair is Japanese like and it's wonderful' 'Her female leopard expression is nice')

14 Kimura Kaela ('Her pop image is (Can't read the kanji cause it's too small)' 'Can expect her getting a good impression by the females')

15 Katase Nana ('Has a stylish feel' 'Can play deep characters' 'Can bring out the main actor')

[waterballoon]

at least they didn't say Ayu is too old or that the public is sick of her, lol

[perfectodub]

who want to promote they're rubbish anyway.

and my second fav artist is noriko sakai (after ayu)
i don't care about her marihuana old issue.

GO for the artist!

[Mayayu]

strange poll... didn't expect some of these traits as bankable/not bankable

anyway, Honda & Rimmel don't seem to care about this

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

lol kinda contradicting itself. anna tsuchiya appears on commercials ALL THE TIME xD


what they said about ayu is alright I guess...

[hearted]

wow all these reasons are so rude

[Ayusan]

Made my day lol she has too many groupies ? Blah the same groupies are willing to buy everything their idols promote .. no ? What kind of company wouldn't think to this LOL

They just should say : we can't afford her to promote ours stuffs ^w^ would be better and honest XD

I do agree with most of these though. I can see why they're used in major CM>

[agashi]

=_= its look only japan have ridiculous polling like this...

[extepan]

this article looks more like soap opera than genuine news

[thatstacey]

Wow, this list reeks of misogyny. "We want the girls that conform to our standards of beauty--quiet, ~pure~, and dumb."
