I think Timmy is a nice guy but I wish he would go back to being behind the scenes. I don't enjoy his stage persona or his costumes, whether Ayu chooses them or not. I second that he cheapens Ayu's live shows. In the Made In Japan tour I cringed when Ayu was about to come out on stage and he was like, Are you ready for the kweeeeen?
I also get that feeling of "importance" from him too. It's like he is Ayu's pet or something.
