The artistic integrity of her work is still just as good as it always was (okay, the "Real me" video lost an ENTIRE chunk of important plot detail when she started dancing all the time afterwards, but that's like... the ONLY example). Her lyrics still get to me, they're still fantastic. She still does so much for her fans. She still works REALLY hard. She's still a perfectionist. She still takes her career very seriously. And honestly, everything she's done that I've once disagreed with is a reflection of that. Fans wanted Ayu to sprinkle some english into her lyrics. Fans liked it when she danced in PVs and in concert so she worked REALLY hard to get in shape & get good at it. If she's doing this, it's because she knows fans will get a kick out of it, plus she'll probably get some new ones. She probably worked really hard to make sure she had exactly the right stylist and the right photographer working with her, made sure it was people she was comfortable with. She wouldn't have settled for some skeezy shoot with a questionable weirdo behind the camera. She's playing around, showing a sexy and fun side of herself, and she's doing it for those of us who find her hot and have wanted to see this for a long time! XD

I love your posts
