Eason Chan "Settles" With Ayumi Hamasaki Earlier, Eason Chan openly criticized Ayumi Hamasaki for lip-syncing at her concert, but never would he have thought his words would bring such stress to Ayumi nor would they become headline news. Picutres of Ayumi getting drunk and acting out of character were taken, allegedly due to Eason's comments. After a promotional event yesterday, Eason admits that he has a big mouth and what he says can affect many people, but he emphasizes that he did not intentionally say those words to hurt anyone. But if in fact it was his words that affected Ayumi's behavior then he is deeply embarrassed. Reports have it that he openly criticized Ayumi to make headlines, so he can use the "fame" to debut in the Japanese music industry. Hearing this, Eason was utterly shocked. He says, "It was not intentional. If I have to use this type of news to gain fame, it would not be dignified and I'd rather not have the fame. I don't want to say things to hurt other people but if what I said did hurt others, then I must say I am deeply embarrassed. If I were to enter the Japanese industry, I would enter solely as a singer and not as headline news." Eason was then asked whether he will publicly apologize to Ayumi, he says, "I don't have to do it publicly, I've already personally explained it to Ayumi. During my time with EEG, Avex [Ayumi's record company] helped produce my Mandarin albums so I've already personally explained to Avex's president that it was not intentional and I didn't know it would become such a big problem. But I don't know if he passed it along." bbs.ent.163.com
LOL, Eason's got tons of drama with his big mouth. Glad that it turned out okay instead of waves and waves of negative publicity.
