Ayu not portrayed as most women in the music industry?
So during my sociology class we watched a documentary on how women are portrayed in the music industry, specifically music videos. They said that it's impossible to find women who aren't portrayed sexually in the music industry. When they said this I thought of Ayu, Ayu has never really been portrayed in a sexual way without reasoning. She's not randomly touching herself (like her body, not her.. yeah.) seductively or posing seductively just because in her music videos. She doesn't sing about sex in a raw fashion or at all. She may refer to it, but it's purely in a non-lustful way. Okay there's my name's WOMEN, but that song is about the way men look at women, so there's a reason. She also sings about her emotions or deep emotions in general, which you don't find much in Western music without some kind of sexual undertone. What do you guys think?
Edit: I forgot about the Startin' PV... but I still believe that was done in a tongue-in-cheek way. lol
