I agree, although I must say Ayu can be sexy... look at all her my name's WOMEN performances... (don't) Leave me alone @ AT 08, Wacoal shots (the first one with the black & white version)... I think she looks really sexy, as in erotically sexy there.

For Sparkle... I would really blame it on the director, cos he's the one who'd be telling her what and how to do it so that she would look sexy. I believe we have all seen his infamous "demonstration" on how to be sexy in the Sparkle PV making, and Jesus was it horrible.

In the PV for Sparkle... Ayu is most of the time doing REALLY WEIRD stuff, like pulling her hair, squatting down, making awkward jerks/turns... they look really uncomfortable imo, and though I enjoy the mystery in the video... I just can't immerse myself fully into it cos I feel Ayu's discomfort.

Kazuyoshi Shimomura, you suck.
