Haha..I wonder. You know, I went to watch NEWS,ARASHI and AKB48's performances...and ok...I can totally see the difference between the music of them and Ayu. If japan is going through a music evolution again at this point, along with swarming k-POP groups, ayu's music is just not gonna fit in that market, cept her summer pop and pop ballads (which may even feel too slow for today's hyper pop generation).

Of course, they may just be stunned at her charisma and I dunno how Love song sounds but I know its not Just a pop song and certainly not one you can wave lightsticks to. The reason why I turned up the volume at the end after watching a muted video was to see how they reacted at the end. Not bad.

About her makeup, that's just to bring intensity. its not like she does this all the time..and costume?? Come on, japan is famous and cosplay and visual ..this costume is just a more rock-ish outfit.
