^^no problem, thank you for clarifying!
I agree with HLS. It was an amazing tour and I still think Timmy's role fit perfectly there (even though it was clearly an idea taken from Britney's Onyx Hotel Tour, but I don't mind because even though I love Brit's tour, Ayu's was even better). But that persona Timmy put on there should have stayed there.
I think Ayu's overall image and "scandals", including the Timmy stuff, made her not only look like a has been to some of the public, but also as pretty ridiculous. This is a problem, because I think this makes it quite impossible for her to ever be the it thing again, like Namie was able to. It is normal that her popularity wouldn't be what it was in her hey day at some point, but she build an image during the last ten years I would say that makes it emberassing for people to confess that you like her. I usually refrain from telling Japanese people I don't know well that I like her, because they automatically think of you as a trashy person - because this is what they think of Ayu, being trashy. Which is sad, because it's ultinately not true, but it's no wonder given some stuff.
