I understand that Ayu has separated herself from the "sexy image" for most of her career. But she was young back then and many people interpret her as someone who was lost trying to find her way through music back when she mostly written music for herself. Now she is older, a very well established artist who doesn't need to prove anything to anyone anymore. She's not lost, she's more confident and a lot more bold but in a different way.

Fans are use to her making a bold statement through her music but not necessarily her image. I think that's why everyone was shocked with Sparkle, not only because of the song but the video as well. But isn't there a sexual being inside all of us? Why should people who made their career by taking their clothes off or writing dirty lyrics be the only allowed to be sexy?


Anyway~~~~~~~

I love crossroad to death and I sadly regret I will not be able to participate in her first week sales ;_; I'll have to hold off on the purchase of these singles. Hopefully I'll get some money by the time L comes out and then I'll contribute to THOSE sales cause crossroad is pretty much guaranteed a #1 but L might suffer a bit because of shipping issues.
