When you look at Ayumi Hamasaki, do you see Ayu, the human being, or do you see Ayumi Hamasaki the Entertainer? Is there a grey area?
I have a hard time seeing Ayu as a normal human being at times (not saying she isn't ofc
), just because she seems so flawless in her public appearances. I mean, I don't personally know her & am not familiar with her as a person, but more so as an entertainer. BUT as others have said, I do see her music as reflections of her life experiences & emotions, which I can relate to very well. Also, when I have seen her make mistakes while performing, such as falling & forgetting her lyrics, I am reminded of her being a human being even after all the fame & glam lol.
How do you think that affects what you want from what she does? What do you want from her?
One other thing I didn't mention in my previous answer was that the fact that she got married makes her seem more human. I've come to realize that as much as I want MORE music from her constantly (just because I'm hooked on her releases like crack
), I do want Ayu to take some time off & live a little. I enjoy getting spoiled with releases each year, but I just hope that doesn't eventually mean she must choose between personal life & her career. She has already accomplished so much throughout her 12 year stretch as a musician, so why not take a little break? Plus, if she took some time off, maybe it'd give her some fresh ideas to bring to her music (maybe even revive CREA
). This is what I would like to see from Ayu...
Do you think that being so close to Ayu with social media affects your view of
her?
I don't personally use Twitter, but I think if I did I would see Ayu as more of a normal human being than I do now. From the comments I've seen, Ayu seems to be a little different on Twitter...but at least she sounds friendly
. I've actually had dreams about Ayu being a ***** once I came face to face with her
, so I think if I were to communicate with her, it would assuage some of my worries from before lol. Honestly though, I don't totally have a formulated opinion on this.
How do you feel about the way other people see Ayu?
I admit that I sometimes feel a little defensive on the inside when I see scaving remarks on Ayu, but I think that's natural because I adore Ayu. I wouldn't consider myself a stan, but I do try to appreciate all of her releases. I rarely say anything to anybody though when they remark negatively on Ayu because over all I just try to not let it bother me. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions & as others have said, what they think has no effect on the way I see Ayu or feel about her.
Are you a little pig-headed about your opinions?
Um, I'm not going to lie I can be at times. But I think it's important to stick by what you believe, think, or feel...it's not always a good thing to be easily swayed.
Geez I typed a lot more than I thought
