^Sorry if I gave the impression my post was aimed at your comment in particular, it was more of a general comment based on stuff that have been said in this thread and over the years!

I do agree that the stuff with Timmy has always been a bit off, and I felt that what was a very good concept for Hotel Love songs (the weird stage master / hotel director) should have stayed in this tour.

I suppose I can't talk for the general perception around what she does in Japan as I don't live there, and don't really speak with locals on the daily, but the point I was trying to make was that as a gay person she's done a lot over the years that made me feel good and represented in some way.

Again the main thing that surprises me as to how the LGBTQ discussion started in this thread was that I never really knew that was one of the reasons she wasn't popular. Can't it be argued she started being seen as 'has been' as early as (miss)understood or so? She didn't exactly have any kind of strong references until quite a lot later I think.
