TaTu refuse to sing on Japanese TV, show cancelled

TaTu refused to perform on Japan's Music Station at the last minute, and the show was cancelled after a dispute between the promoter Universal and the duo, though neither side has explained why.

TaTu caused a stir on Friday night, when the pair refused to sing during a TV programme. The duo were expected to sing during the Music Station programme on TV Asahi in Tokyo, but at the last minute the two girls and their manager told TV Asahi staff members that they "didn't want to appear on TV anymore." The duo and their manager didn't (and still won't) say why they had refused.

Universal, who organised the event in Tokyo, announced that the show was cancelled, due to a "difference in opinions between the promoter and TaTu."
