More news on Ayumi's 'drug scandal'
Posted By: PowPowParn @12:18 PM Tuesday, January 12, 2010



Singer Ayumi Hamasaki implicated in drug scandal
Posted: 12 January 2010 1609 hrs

TOKYO: Japanese pop princess Ayumi Hamasaki's record label Avex Trax, a subsidiary of Avex Entertainment, has reportedly been trying to transfer her management rights for one billion yen (S$15 million) after the singer became embroiled in a drug scandal involving colleague Manabu Oshio.

According to Japanese media reports, Avex arrived at this decision to prevent her drug scandal from affecting the record label's stock prices, though industry observers say the figure is simply too low to be true.

Oshio was arrested in December last year on suspicion of giving recreation drug Ecstacy to a hostess who later died of an overdose.

The pair were at a residence in the prestigious Roppongi Hills area rented by Oshio's friend Mika Noguchi, a prominent businesswoman.

The police are investigating Hamasaki's links to the case as Noguchi is her close friend, though rumours are rife that it was Oshio who directly implicated Hamasaki in a bid to save himself.

If these reports turn out to be true, they would mark a sharp reversal of fortune for the 31-year-old superstar.

Hamasaki was discovered by Avex Trax's current president, music producer Masato Matsuura, at a karaoke bar in 1998. He signed her to Avex Trax shortly after and she has been with the label ever since.

Hamasaki went on to become the only singer in Japan with a chart-topping album every year, consecutively for 11 years.

Great news for Ayumi! Upcoming singles You were... and Ballad will be used as theme songs for the new Disney movie Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure and the NHK series Sokyu no subaru, respectively. Ayumi seems like the perfect choice to sing Tinkerbell's theme song because of her small frame and iconic status in Japan. Full article can be viewed on the JapanToday website Ayumi Hamasaki’s 'You were…' chosen as Tinkerbell theme song. The movie will release on December 23 in Japan and the singles will be available on December 29th.

Possible 2nd Police Investigation
Posted By: PowPowParn @1:57 PM Sunday, September 13, 2009



Ayumi Hamasaki face investigation by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department

TOKYO, Reuters. Ayumi Hamasaki (30), the popular leader of Japanese music and Asian fashion scene is one of the main names which appeared in an massive anti-drug operation recently launched by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police.

The Japanese entertainment world is becoming an increasingly scene for for drug events.

Many celebrities are now connected to the "drug-related list" managed by the Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB), and even pop queen Ayumi Hamasaki is being investigated. Allegedly the police offers Hamasaki special attention, this as a result of her close friendship with "PEACH JOHN" lingerie company's president Noguchi Mika, where a close common friend was recently arrested in his apartment, which he and his mistress rented from Hamasaki.

According to network intelligence the mistress died of a overdose a few days ago, in the Tokyo apartment. For this, the police arrested the boyfriend and started an investigation and depth tracking of clues from Hamasaki's past and find out her background. Had heard blasting thin, and underwear, and her boyfriend dating and other acts of disorder, so that the Japanese police suspect were caused by smoking drug that has caused all kinds of bizarre behavior.

By the end of August the Avex Group finished their finall "a-nation" activities. Hamasaki were also present at the event, but because she and Mika Noguchi is in the focus of the sensitive topic, the recording company decided to remove her percent on TV pictures. This cast doubt on whether a novelty factor, people at at event feelt that "things appeared strange."

The police will take a big investigation into the near future.
