Bringing this from the grave since it's related.
I'm seriously curious why Keizo Kuroda left the Ayu team... (and was replaced by Gori / Kazuyoshi Takahashi... probably he wanted to move on or something? Then again, he left at about the same time her old stylist did.)

FFFFFFU. Keizo and Kazuyoshi huh~
(This is the man responsible for just about every Ayu look from poker face to (miss)understood basically)
