She was sexy without trying too hard.

Before Party Queen ayu never tried to do sexy. She didn't during her phase of naked covers that lasted until 2002, she didn't when weared a skin tight furry wetdream outfit (obviously japanese porn isn't filled with cat-girl fetish), she didn't during the My Story covers, she didn't during the my name's WOMEN PV or the Step you booklet, she didn't when had fetish wear inspired photoshots for magazines, she didn't when put her dancers in short clothes to portray faux lesbians on the first TA Tour, she didn't when she went into naked phase again during MW single, or when she recorded the bdsm inspired video for Sparkle (feat more latex wear on Rule or the at09), or being naked again during the promotion of at10, or the videos for 1Love and Because of You, or anytime she had a Until that day performance, or a my name's WOMEN performance, etc etc etc.

I even believe she was a virgin before Party Queen.

My comment about her being fat was ment ironic. ;)

Sure it's not an official photo. But personally I lost every interest to ever see her live, even though I'm a fan for more than half of my life and will have the chance next year.
Since two or three years this "putting my finger in my mouth to be sexy" thing as well as other childlike "sexy" behaviour became a constant routine of her performing. Even during songs that aren't even sexy and have zero to do with sex she somehow seems to feel the need to prove how "hot" she is.
I always felt that Ayu was able to do the "kawaii sexy" stuff in a very ironic way, like in HLS tour, but it seems she now is serious about it.
I just watched CdM and even though it has a great theme and setlist, it was so bad I wanted to cry. For me the way Ayu performs has totally lost its soul. I don't need her to prove how hot she is, I want her to perform from the bottom of her heart. For me she doesn't do this anymore. It's either her sexualizing and infantilizing herself or it's her fake crying and being a drama queen.
I mean, just compare old performances of A Song for xx, like the one from Dome Tour, with the one from CdM. Back then her body language and the look in her eyes made a very strong impression on me - and now she's throwing herself on the floor for whatever reason like she does in every song that's ment to be "emotional".
I love HLS and also really liked PSC, but after that, for me something changed in the way she performs and presents herself and seeing her newer concerts always makes me wanna cry.

Oh don't worry, I know you meant that in a sarcastic way.:yes
But I also have similar feelings. Seeing Ayu's live performances from the 90s and 2000s have a different air to them. They used to be more soulful and emotional. She would show her true heart on stage and give anything she had to the delivery. I think now the focus has shifted towards the spectacle and entertainment. Also an increase in sexy costumes and poses. Even the dancers seem to be wearing bondage often. Of course Ayu has done sexy things in the past like the loveppears cover and My Story to a degree and My Names Woman and so on. But that was different. Sometimes now I feel Ayu sometimes does things that sexually objectify herself.:dumbfound

Lmao I'm dead asf

Ayu is not about follow any respectability guidelines since she doesn't often lol.
And I can't at something only being problematic socially because she's not that good at it anymore (and I agree her dancing and moves are awkward to watch sometimes lol) or because there was supposedly more meaning behind it before even when she's admitted to doing things earlier in her career because it looked cool or was trendy.

Like, I totally and sincerely get the social concerns, but like at least be consistent lol.

Anyway, I know we're not even close. But like I'm already ready to know what she has planned for next leg. It's so easy to be impatient when I know something is coming eventually.

I feel you guys with the being sexy and sexy movement parts as she did or tried to do often nowadays lol xD

Btw she has arrived in Nagoya and she met fans waiting for her there, looking good!
