:yes agree
it's so refreshing seeing ayu with her other male dancer.. *Maro is so cute!*
i'm getting bored with ayu x shuya..

Ayu and Shuiya works really well live... Not that he is the most beautiful or hottest, they just really look like a couple... and I don't know if any of the other dancers could do that so well (IMO, Naoto was good, but he couldn't do that as good as Shuiya)... They have a great chemistry on stage...

Ayu is aways trying to support her dancers (they are around 30 right now, and this means they will retire sometime soon... around 35~40)... Even if they doesn't have as many solo dances as him, Shuiya never do the tissue/circle/aerial sceanes... 3 or 4 of her dancers do a lot of the choreographies and so on... She is just using them on whatever they do the best on stage, IMO.

About Madonna... 'cause a dancer career is very short and she have a 25+ years career, she couldn't keep the same dancers forever... but a lot of them work with her in more than one tour (there are some I saw on Drowned World, Re-invention, Confessions and Sticky&Sweet tours)

Shuya is gay. Haven't you noticed that alot of gay men have really good/close female friends? Ayu and Shuya are probably just really close friends. :) No big deal!

Ayu's male dancers are like peacocks and Shuya appears to be the most colorful. My theory is that gay peacocks have the most colorful feathers. So if you want to stand out and become a major character on stage, become a gay peacock.

I love the couple Ayu & Shu-ya^^

LOL.

i'm not really dislike ayuxshuya, but like all of you said, she's keep on pair up with some guy these years. Im bored with that and not everytime the outcome is good.

I thought HANABI in ST02 is better than AT08 coz ayu can concentrate at singing, and sometimes I dont even feel ayu is a lover with shuya when they're on stage, her facial expression is not that well compared with shuya

Of Tomoya of course xD

i miss shuya's short hair like in MNW PV ;-; i do like them together but letting the other hot guys to dance with her would be nice too.

I understand why you might be tired,but I dont think ayu has feelings for Shuya in that manner lol. She's a very professional person. When you have a dancing partner, that partner HAS to be someone you're comfortable with. I think that's why Ayu uses Shuya a lot,because not only is he an anmazing dancer,but she's also able to be find sort of a comfort zone in him. I mean, how annoying is it to have to pick a new dancer to work with and get used to for each tour.

I love the AyuxShuya collaboration, but I can understand why people can get tired of it; people want variety. Personally I feel they can add some variety to his solos, he doesn't always have to do a solo for a BALLAD song. I loved his solo in CDL 07-08. AT08 HANABI solo was good too but too much running around and "OMG AYU WHERE ARE YOU?!" moments. PCDL 08-09 Powder Snow/HOPE or PAIN dance was kinda bland and boring. I herd Maro choreographed that dance, either let someone else needs to do it or Maro needs some choreography lessons.

I mean...they could be dating...I always have my speculations I chat with maj about...but I showed some concerts to my non-Ayu friends. I asked them if they get tired of seeing Shuya all the time and one of them said "maybe but I can see why she uses him so much. The other dancers are extremely talented but they lack the emotion that Shuya can show through his movement and facial expressions". Sometimes he shows too much, like when he puts on the frowny face that looks like a baby just lost his lollipop, but I can see what my friends mean. Ayu also mentioned that she likes to use him because he can quickly get a feel of a performance or something like that, or maybe she meant he can quickly get a feel of her :innocent:innocent:innocent

I think she should change him now!! And use Maro instead cause he's an awesome dancer and wayyyyy hotter than Shu-ya!
Or perhaps using Midoring more ;)
I'll stop with the shallow comments now ;)
I think she feels more comfortable dancing with Shu-ya, and I think they do have good chemistry.

I don't care Shuya... but.. I also hate his dancing, when they play their tragic love-Story.

^ What's this video then?

Well.. If you people had a choice.. SHUYA OR MIDORING? XD

i still love Shuya, he's a great dancer and he works well with Ayu. why hate on him?

@ lfebaggins

Maro is a great choreographer(Marionette!) and Shuya doesnt make choreographys at all I think.

@noidea

Its a matter of opinion :P. And I'm just talking about the solo ballad, not Marionette

The solo Maro originally made was probably too hard for Shuya, so he made a more simpler version and that turned out to be bleh xD(Judging from the GREEN performance and the opening of PCDL0809, Maro is a way better dancer, anyway xD And I think I read he made that choreography, too, so he can make better ones, they are just harder xD)

shuiya is far from being a bad dancer... even if he dances like a drunk monkey in some solos, he isn't choreographer, he is only dancing what he was told to...

I never wrote hes bad, I just think that most moves look better and flow better when Maro does them and that Maro seems to be a better dancer, because he dances way more complicated things
