Musicians take charge at label

Japanese record label Avex experienced an artist revolt when Masato Matsuura -- one of the senior management (well beloved by the musicians signed to the label) -- was forced out by the board of directors. After his resignation was announced, the major acts signed to the label started to voice some rumblings about leaving the label for greener pastures. In very short order, Matsuura was reinstalled at Avex.
