There's nowhere to keep it so why not reuse it, help keep the world a little greener xD;

It's probably a budget thing, like you said. I've noticed she reuses outfits from PVs during live performances, like with one from Startin'...


Various M performances (plus the PV) have had similar outfits...


She's had various outfits with the short-ish shirts, and then the long sleeves (mostly Asian-style tops):


There's so many more ("I am..." from AT02 and CDL09-10, dress from ballads section of CDL09-10 and a-nation '05, dress from ballads section of CDL08-09 and AT09, etc etc etc.). Even many of her performances are recycled, which is a pretty common thing. (I've seen it happen so many times in the music industry, anyway.)

I'm just saying, I know I won't be surprised if I see more recycling in Ayu's career. It tends to continue to shock people, which is both surprising and not so surprising.
