These talking shows aren't usually the ones for people to promote their music, it's more about showing how the artists are "approachable" and to make their persona more likable.

Nice seeing Ayu as a "tarento" for a while, it does change a little bit her image of being distant, what we usually have when she goes to Music Station, to something bright and cheerful. U Go Team Ayu.

I don't like that pink shirts. It's like she borrowed someone shirt twice her size at the last moment before the show begin.

i actually like that "i just threw whatever the f was laying around" idea for the purpose to make her a bit more relatable. It's so casual it's almost odd to see her in this ON A PUBLIC APPEARANCE. She's always so well put together and thought out that it can come off as a bit of a fake thing. I may not be a fan of that duo on her but I think the casual approach works much better for talk shows like that. She blends in with the rest on the stage, which is good.

Japan has some strange shows haha. ayu looks so lovely though (as always!) and she does look really happy in these photos which is great to see.

...i'm secretly hoping we get another album after all this publicity hehe.

About the album, I wonder if we'll even get one this year.
She said that she's recording songs before (e.g. in the post about her divorce where she said that she'd focus on the rehearsals for TA tour & recording songs) so we might get an album later this year or at least a single/mini album and a full album next year.

Or maybe we'll just get nothing...
It'd be very unlikely but who knows.

So true! Ayu you got so many cool streetswear on your Ig, just wear those outfits in the show and would be great already.

It is so rare and wow actually to see her doing those funny things and blending well with them lol, so yeah she looked more approachable and friendly here not that Diva who married and divorced a foreigner and going back and forth to LA befriending a rich real estate agent lol :P

All those talkshows are part of the long term strategy they chose for her 20th anniversary. Instead of doing all promotion next year, they remind general public about her little by little. That she still exists.

Not a big fan of her look. Neither this oversize shirt nor this denim.

another little preview

thank you!!

Watching it <3 So interesting to see her funny and casual side on TV again!

Edit: Suddenly the show changed to other guests (Nishikido Ryo is one of them). I'm so confused lol

Edit 2: #今夜くらべてみました is trending in Twitter right now!

Agreed:yes on all points relating to the 20th Anniversary, it`s part of strategic marketing; remind the public she`s relatable, she`s still working her arse off, and she has a fun side. She`s always been quite the chameleon, I`m a fan of her gumption and ever-changing style. Some looks are better than others (in my opinion), but she usually can pull off a wide variety of looks. It`s part of why someone like Madonna has lasted for decades and has made such a big impact. I feel that Ayu will make this long lasting impression in the Asian market (particularly).

Might I add, I`m a HUGE fan of her hair color right now, and every time she cuts it to this length it`s like a flashback to her early days of her music career around the early thousands (2000 era). It`s smart, and probably intentional.

I have a feeling we'll see her more on tv on the coming months. and yeah, Ayu is trending on apple music japan. right. now.

Any link to watch?

I rather have these talk shows any day to another seasons performance.
