Some thoughts about Ayu? Good/bad?

Hi, it's been a few years since I get here, I doubt anyone remembered me anyway. But during these years, there's something I really need to get it off my chest, just kind of bothers me.

Personally, I can't really keep up with her change. You see, I do prefer the older times of her, back then her songs was much better in my opinion. I might be wrong though, because the last 'new song' I ever heard was Party queen, and it sounded damn awful in my opinion. If someone says that this is false and that there are songs which sounded better than her old products, I can understand (because I stopped listening to her songs after... Rock'n'Roll circus I guess.. ROFL)

But that's not something that bugged me the most. She's an artist, it is acceptable that she wants to keep up with trends by changing (I honestly don't expect her to earn more in the industry just by using old fashioned-style songs). But what started bugging me most is that she started marrying foreigners in a hasty pace. I don't know, it feels very hasty to me. First the 4-month Mannie, now she marries a one-year r/s American medical student? (Seems like she's got a fetish for foreign guys, mmmmm). It's the small things that makes a picture big, it is not very unusual for people to get married after knowing each other for a year, but I feel as though she is just kind of desperate or just rushing to settle down, perhaps due to her age or something?

And then, something else about her also bothered me; She started to take off her clothes more often and take more and more half-nude photoshoots. Yes, I know she did that in the past as well, "Unite", "Love Appears", "I am", "Rainbow". But these were albums and the amount of "Naked" shots can be counted with fingers. Now, almost each year, she will release at least more than one set of "Naked" photoshoots, magazines, photobooks... Makes me wonder what is she really up to, sex sells? Change of fashion? Change of style? Or is she trying to be a sex icon in Asia? Or is she just getting so confident about her body?

Personally in my opinion, I don't like that, it just bothers me... A lot.

What do u think about these? Good? Bad? I am open to this discussion, but I hope you guys don't reply mean things back at me, and please don't get all worked up just by reading this post, I'm not trying to attack Ayu, but these were just my thoughts since her "evolve". I know there are many overly-obsess fan boys and girls here, but please, I need a fair discussion and do consider my viewpoints as well instead of just getting clouded by your 'obsession'.
