D.A.I Leaving Avex??

[MsMiyabi]

あゆ危機…楽曲提供のアノ人がａvｅｘ離脱の意向
作曲家のＤ・Ａ・Ｉ、体質にウンザリ

浜崎あゆみ
　日本の歌姫として君臨し続ける浜崎あゆみ（２６、写真）に危機が迫っている。あゆに楽曲を提供してきた同 じａｖｅｘ所属の人気バンド「Ｄｏ　Ａｓ　Ｉｎｆｉｎｉｔｙ」のメンバーで作曲家のＤ・Ａ・Ｉ（長尾大、３ ４）がａｖｅｘから離れたい意向を持っているというのだ。

　制作関係者は「Ｄ・Ａ・Ｉは、かつてのヒット曲の“いいとこ取り”をして、売れる曲作りを要求するａｖｅ ｘの体質に飽き飽きしているようです。会社が決めた歌手に曲を作るのでなく、自分で（歌手を）探したいと考 えている」と証言する。

　Ｄ・Ａ・Ｉは平成１１年に「Ｄｏ　Ａｓ－」でデビュー。１３年には表舞台には姿を現さなくなったが、バン ド活動に並行し、あゆやｈｉｔｏｍｉ（２９）、Ｅｖｅｒｙ　Ｌｉｔｔｌｅ　Ｔｈｉｎｇらの人気アーティスト に曲を書いてきた。あゆと共同制作の「Ｖｏｙａｇｅ」は１４年の日本レコード大賞にも輝いた。先の高額納税 者番付で２００１万円を納税し、推定所得約６１００万に上るヒットメーカー。

　これだけの力を持つ彼に離反されれば、ａｖｅｘの痛手は大きい。

　先の関係者は「ａｖｅｘはＤ・Ａ・Ｉさんに、“今までの曲はすべてａｖｅｘが所有する”と権利を書き換え るならやめていいという条件を出し、彼はフリーになったら一緒に仕事をする人も決めたと聞きました。しかし 、その話も遠のきそうなんです。彼がやめられない事情が出てきたのか…」という。

　水面下であの手この手の引き止め工作も進んでいるのか。

　こうした動きについてａｖｅｘに確認すると、担当者は「どこで聞いたんですか？　そういった話はありませ ん」と否定した。

　Ｊ－ＰＯＰに詳しい音楽評論家の富沢一誠氏は「会社が育てた作曲家は、傘下にいる安心感がある一方、“独 立してもやっていける”と考えて反旗を翻すのはよくあること。でも会社から勝手にしろ、と突き放されるリス クがある。今後は金銭の交渉になっていくでしょう」と分析する。

　一方、最近は自身で作曲活動をする、あゆもＣＤセールスに一時の勢いが消え、悩んでいる様子 。

　「彼女自身は、ＨＩＰ　ＨＯＰやレゲエのテーストの曲を発注しているようです。方向性を変えたいのでしょ うか。安室奈美恵になりたいと考えているのかも」と先の関係者は指摘するが…。

The hit manufacturer which 20010000 Yen pays tax with large amount taxpayer official ranking list in professional sumo ahead, presumption income approximately rises to 61000000. If it is estranged in him who has this much power, the wound of avex is large.
