Well, back in the day I connected all kinds of nudity to sluttyness so I didn't like it. I was a insecure teenager at the time who was filled with hate towards pretty much everything except my flawless video game soundtracks or Utada Hikaru's albums (except Exodus at the time) that I thought were the best thing in the world. Everything else, especially nudity and all sorts of sexy made me think like, "this person is a slut, therefore I hate her", but after I started listening to Koda Kumi I pretty much stopped thinking that way so thanks to her crazy sexy stunts, lol. These days LOVEppears cover is actually kinda cute. It's not my favorite cover, but it's not bad either.

I don't mind her using English either because she doesn't really use it that much in her songs compared to other singers I listen to. Actually it's quite rare for Ayu to have much English in her songs, and I like it that way. It's like a part of her style.

Also a big yes to that bolded part.
