Controversies[edit]
In 2004, Matsuura was the subject of some controversy when he considered leaving Avex Music Group due to a feud with Tom Yoda. Many artists, including Ayumi Hamasaki, said that they would also move in the event that he did so.[3] Thus, stocks for Avex Trax plunged and Yoda ended up resigning, ending the feud.[4]
In March 2009, Matsuura helped Tetsuya Komuro in the latter's fraud case. Matsuura paid the plaintiff ¥648,000,000 (¥500,000,000 for the exact amount, ¥100,000,000 for compensations and ¥48,000,000 for delay damages). [citation needed]
On July 17, 2011, Matsuura closed his Twitter account due to an intense feud with fans of K-pop group JYJ.[5]
Personal life[edit]
Matsuura lives in Denenchofu, Tokyo.
