"Who are the female artists that you wouldn't want to use in a CM?" - Ayu in 10th

[elepop]

It's kind of a lame reason because although her hearing is affecting her work, it's not affecting it like crazy. Mostly just her singing. CM = acting. :S Oh well.

What they said about Aya Ueto is mean!

That was a rumor, and I sort of don't believe that she was incredibly in demand. :|~

Despite that rumor, I still don't think many companies would want to work with her.. lol.

[lfe.]

This is an asinine survey, not only for ayu but for the other artists as well. I have never seen such ridiculous reasoning

[freedreamer]

I was Hoping Kuu wasnt there...but guess she wasn't spared...

The reason for AYu is just...lame..

[kirei_ayumi]

wow, how unfair. ayu's been doing fairly well with CMs lately, despite her condition. i don't think it has any change of her CMs whatsoever..

[ayu_fantasy]

This is such a dumb poll... Haha...

I bet there isn't many choices to choose from...

And a lame reason for Ayu... XD

Thx anyway... =)

[keikeiaznqueen]

Well, even if the reasons are lame or dumb etc, I guess advertisers would be really cautious on who they choose for advertisements, because there ARE people out there who would think about Ayu's well-being when seeing Ayu in an ad, rather than the product.

I was surprised by the title of this thread and read it a few times before realising it's seriously what it is. XDD I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. It's rare to see a negative poll around, actually (but it's not oricon, so maybe that's why.)

[Bazaa]

This is the business world people XD No matter how unfair it sounds, it's kinda true that, because of all the media attention Ayu's deafness got, if random people (fans or not) see her in a CM, they'll think about that issue, and not really about the product. Just like, with Koda, they'll think of the rotten fluids and stuff.

The poll doesn't mean she will never have CMs again Just that, right now, companies are cautious when considering her. And I guess the price would be too high for most anyway.

I think you got it wrong.
#1 is the least wanted for a CM and #10 is the least not wanted XD

Oh haha. XD Thanks for clearing it up! ^^

[♥ you!]

That's is a pretty dumb reason :/. Discrimination!!

on the bright side Kuu finally ranked high in a poll <_>

[Bashumaru]

Past her expiry date?

[zoomzoom]

Weird reason for ayu, but I don't think it's a lame poll, it's valid information for companies to know who the customers wanna see and not.

[AyUta]

Um, that's a messed up reason for Ayu...
Poor Ayu. I don't like this survey

[rakeru]

honestly, who has the time to conduct these?

Here's what was put on the original post:

This was a survey done by Ohte-Advertising company (大手広告) and filled out by 149 different companies. Who are the female artistes that you wouldn't want to use in a CM?

An advertising company works with that, and, as part of their jobs, they do have to carry out surveys with both companies and the population to give a general idea on what companies and public want, so that companies can follow what will be best suited for them to catch the public attention to ther products. It's not a matter of who has time, but a matter of building up data to match the interests of the company. Again, business.

^That's what I wanna know when Ayu wins in the Oricon polls.

Good for you, she's not that high on the list this time

[v3lun420]

why is Dewi Sukarno is on the list? Is she famous in Japan too?

I don;t really care. Ayumi hasn't done many CMs lately anyway. As long as I concern, she only featured in Lumix
