Anyway, thanks YaMaYuMi and Kawai! Ayu really does seem torn between staying with "dead" Avex or joining Max (and other artists) at another label. Understandable, but if I was in her shoes I'd free myself from Avex ASAP. Perhaps she really does want to, but something might be standing in the way (most likely her contract[s]).

Yeah, I hadn't thought about that.. *stupid* But even so, I'd do like you said Chibinina, I'd separate myself as quickly as possible from Avex. It just doesn't seem worth staying there if the one person who has been a father figure for you all these years is leaving.

Arigatou YaMaYuMi and kawai!

I hope that Ayu-sama will find a record company that gives her the space and freedom to achieve her fullest potential. If that place is not avex trax, but Matsuura's new company, then so be it. Go Ayu-sama! Luck and happiness be with you always.

It sounds to me that Ayu feels that the artists who were produced by Max need to stick together and support eachother, now that he is gone. At least for the meantime, anyway.
I don't think she's going to leave just yet.
Although, this isn't the first time she's openly dissed her record label...

[bulmasman]

I think most of us know that Ayu doesn't like a lot of decisions made by the Avex group, and when she refferred to it as dead... i think she meant Max's avex was dead, the avex that was originally established has turned into a company out only to get money and putting everything on cd sales, with little regards for it's artists

Thanks for the real translation Kawai, and not that Auto-translation crap which doesn't help at all.

[DerrickRocks]

Well guys it was going to happen only because. Ayu has not had the choice to release certain songs she wanted and Avex overworked her last year. They gave her a tv show when she wanted to work on an album at her own paste and they rushed Rainbow i remember hearing. She wanted to produce her own music like I AM and do great hits like that but they crunched on her. And now that they got BoA who is getting as much stardom as ayu is they think they can hurt other artist. That is why Max left they used him and Ayu. But hey they got Namie Amuro they are going to be harder on her if she stays. But most likly it seems the artist are on a strike of some sort i feel.

I think she's saying here that to Matsuura Avex was dead! that's why he resigned,, not beacuase it was already dead.... I undertand that she thinks Matsuura left so abruptly beacuase to him avex was dead and didn't matter any more.

AND HERE I think that she'e going to stick to her gruop of arttists... and if they decide to leave they will.... OR when she says "she deciced to be with them for where I'm going" means that since they are already with avex.. they are goign to stick with it.... but she might need the support of her fans!..

I wonder if Ayu feels a little stupid now that Max is back...

[destiny_ayu]

Follow MAX MAX!!

" And as for my producer Mr. Matsuura, although the Avex without him is still Avex, but I think that he have accepted at the same time that his Avex is already dead when his resignation was accepted. "

i believe what she is saying that NOW, even with Max around it is considered dead to him --> recall the previous articles that he had conflicts with the other staff (whatever his name is), to me, I think that is because he cannot do to his wish and will ? so he resign...

however, i dont like ayu to move to SONY...

but will still respect Ayu's decision no matter where she go

I think Ayu would be better off without Avex.

I doubt it, because I'm sure she's a major factor in AVEX trying to keep him.

[gogirlanime]

I don't think Ayu's leaving Avex or us. Sounds like she is confident in staying the pop princess! Let's support her decisions
