I hate how she is after the trend in Japan. When i started to listen to Ayu (After RAINBOW) when i looked at the scanlation i could tell the diffrence between the models in magazine and the articules with Ayu's photos. She was freakin unique in that magazines. They tried really hard to make her 'the diva'

Now all i can see it's those whole glamorous-cute styled photos (It started with the (M)U but with some expeptions) like the other models in magazines. I know it's all tredny now in Japan, but Ayu was always UPPER then the models. More creative.

From Guilty to R'n'R C i can see that she started to... be creative. There's still those glam curly hairs, diva makeup from the posters, but the new single sounds.. very old styled. It's nothing special afterall, not the hitbuster, but when i heards blossom i started to cry Oo Im not fan of MOON but this song also have that vibe, that "something".

"The reason I do photographs is to help people understand my music, so it's
very important that I am the same, emotionally, in the photographs as in the
music. Most people's eyes are much better developed than their ears. If they
see a certain emotion in the photograph, then they'll understand the music.---Björk, Index Magazine, july 2001
I think that's what most artists do. I believe Ayu used to believe in this same philosophy but then somewhere around GUILTY or so she started giving in to the way the press and the media wanted to portray her, as a huge glamorous pop idol diva, the madonna of Asia.
