Ayu rarely uses americans in her music videos, it happens now and then. I mainly see her own dancers.

Ayus mainpart of her fans are from Japan, this forum is mainly for people from outside Japan, we are the most obsessed ones and that might make us seem many

.

There is no way she could go international, her fanbase of foreigners might seem big but is really small compared to the Japanese audience.

immel: as in BLUE BIRD PV, ayu used her own dancers..but not in Beautiful Fighters, she used lots of Americans (i guess there's not only american people, let's say white people..)

lots of ayu's videos (old 'til the new one) "using" white people..
i've always been wondering too, why's that?

Probably because it's a 'cool thing' with foreigners. It is in general in Japan

.

There's black people featured in the BF PV aswell.

but other japanese artists do not seem always using White people in their videos...right?

*the more i see ayu, the more she looks like an american woman now...especially her appearance in Sweet magazine..she really looks like an american...*

There's Namie Amuro in Please Smile Again, Want Me Want Me, Dreaming I Was Dreaming, How To Be A Girl, and many other videos of hers that are old.

Koda Kumi in her old days had mainly black guys in her pv's.

I've seen americans in some Exile pv's, Halcali, Olivia Lufkin, and some others too, so we can't just say that Ayu's the only one doing this, but to answer your question Other artists do seem to use foreigners included in their videos.

Let's not forget those scantily clad African American male dancers in Body feels EXIT O.O Foreigners and black people are considered "cool" which is why most of the Japanese artists put them in their PVs.

this not only happen to ayu.. also in other artists.. moist of em are from avex.. is avex tie-up with caucassian people? o.o anyway it's good that ayu used her fans int he video.. of beautiful fighters.. but most of em.. are white? o.o
how bout the japanese fans.. now we don't love her cos she didn't use us instead.. bleh..

joke! hahaha! ^^

Her looks isn't very 'ordinary Japanese', people say she's of mixed blood, we don't know who her dad is. She doesn't look American to me in any way, but who knows?

ayu_fan929 · #10 16th June 2006, 01:06 PM

well Ayu also likes America (NY/Hawaii etc.) so that could partially be the reason.

immel · #11 16th June 2006, 01:10 PM

^True.

alternarist · #12 16th June 2006, 03:28 PM

previously, you can see tonnes of caucasians in her PVs. jus to name a few, Endless Sorrow, No way to say, ourselves, Startin', Dearest.... alot more. now she seldom uses caucasians. she uses her own dancers which is boring. i see them almost everyday. XD

^omg u remember nearly single thing of all the PVs?

@orenji : it is true... I have no idea why they started to do this... In my opinion, this may piss some japanese fans off for not using Japanese in japanese PVs... Well I said SOME not all and that doesn't include u...

In fact, I think there is nothing wrong with Ayu... Something is wrong with avex (as you said)

@immel : I'd say she use kinda lots of american/white people/whatever in PVs such as startin' and such... I seriously have no idea why... I mean I don't hate them but why American/white people/whatever instead of Japanese? Does the American/white people/whatever have better dancing/any other skills than Japanese? I don't think Ayu is an american either... She doesn't looks like one... Besides if she is, she probably would have know SIMPLE english...

@alternarist : Everyday? Everytime, you mean.... Well, I guess probably they shall change the dancers but that doesn't explain why American/white people/whatever is in there...

P.S : I am not insulting American... I just don't know what you guys refer them as...

INSPIRE and my name's WOMEN also had lots of non-Japanese people in it

^A nice and polite way of giving an opinion... There is no racism here... We are just voicing your opinions why there are always americans instead of japanese? We are just curious and asking for opinion...

Racist most probably won't join this forum because this forum is international (i guess)...
