LOL. I meant "pointed in".

...and Ayu doesn't do that. She might walk with a feet in front of the other feet, but that's not what I meant, and that's more like a catwalk kinda walk.
You're talking about this when you say "feet going in front of each other":
and that's not what pigeon toed means.
I brought up pigeon toed because someone mentioned "geisha walk". I immediately thought of pigeon toed because I thought of the peculiar ways Japanese girls walk (read: "Are Japanese Woman Intentionally Pigeon-Toed?"
http://tokyo360.net/?p=74). not sure if that's the way a geisha walks but that's how I imagine! Because Japanese girls walk funny. It's called uchimata (see

Anyway, just watched the pv again, and I don't know where you got geisha. I think it's more like a feminine hobbit. Or, just as she would walk normally, but with a little sass.
Considering the fact that she just chucked the shoes away last minute, I don't think she was thinking "hmm I'm gonna walk like a geisha to express the difficulties of living a double life as a performer and a regular woman!" or something along those lines.
from my memory geishas scuttle and walk all peculiar-like. Ayu is so much cooler than that.
And here's Ayu. Nothing really geisha about it? It's a very modern, western walk. Very strong in appearance and not demure and childlike. And she strides instead of taking small steps (did a tiny research on google on how geishas walk). And I can NEVER imagine a geisha walking with feet pointing outwards like Ayu. In fact, this style of walking is called "8 legs" among the Chinese, (resembling the chinese character for 8), a very masculine, sturdy type of foot stance.
