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.

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?

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

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...

i think avex has the authorities to hire whatever people on most of ayu's PVs..
and ayu just agreed with it..
avex is one who settle everything that's going on with its artists...

o yea..about the dancers.. i think avex is trying to lower the cost for the PV making without hiring any other persons..because ayu's record sales are not that good anymore....*just an opinion*

but it's just a common thing to use own dancers on the PVs..

she always looks like an American to me.. haha

When it comes to what people to include I belive the director of the PV has the most to say. He's given money from avex to make the PV, Ayu does probably discuss a lot with the director how to shape up the PV so I belive she can voice what she thinks aswell.
