Max Matsuura
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Masato Matsuura (松浦 真在人 Matsuura Masato?, born October 1, 1964 in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan), better known as Max Matsuura, is a record producer and actual president of one of the largest music labels in Japan, Avex Trax. He is known mainly for discovering and developing new artists and converting them into big stars. Ayumi Hamasaki is the living proof of that. He also is known for reviving Ami Suzuki's career after she was fired by her previous record label.
He was also a subject of controversy, when he decided he would leave the Avex Music Group. Many artists, including Ayumi Hamasaki herself, said that they would also move if he leaves.
