I think that, despite people saying she repeats a lot of things, I still find her shows extremely entertaining to watch. I usually watch her shows bit by bit, not as quick as a lot of people do, and that's my own fault for lack of time or lack of interest in the sense that I prefer seeing DVD rips first.
As for Ayu's sort of sex appeal, I quite like what 'sexiness' she shows. It's just powerful and it's not horribly done. my name's WOMEN is 'sexual' during the performance but nobody made that much of a fuss about it before. That's because we can count on her to do it...tastefully, but without defeating the point? Some other artists have very 'sexy' performances, and by very sexy, I mean extremely sexy performances which I won't even begin to describe because people know what I mean. Sometime or another they've seen it.
Because there are loads of levels of sexiness, I don't think the title of the song should define everything; the song, the performance, the new direction, or any of that. For all we know, the song, it's performance, could be no more sexual than anything she's ever done in the past.
I don't see Ayu as too innocent to do a sexy performance, I just see her as an artist that does that sort of performance more tastefully, or at least, it's not something she just puts out there like some other artists.
With no offense to any other artists, I'm not judging other artists here. I'm just saying what I see and think.
