Is it just me...?

[Calico]

To me Ayu is just like any other artist...she has her ups and downs, esp. in terms of years. I personally still love listening to Secret all the time...it easily entered my top 3 Ayu albums. But albums like MY STORY and RAINBOW got old real fast for me. As for her PVs, they've always been hit or miss. IMO she has as many boring PVs now as she did five years ago.

And...it's kind of hard for Ayu NOT to be selling a "sexy" image, since well, she's sexy! And honestly, I don't really see a too strong of a sexy image coming from her. She's actually quite conservative, esp. compared to other artists around her even in Japan.

And I'm so glad she didn't stick with her ASFXX stuff. I doubt I would've ever become a fan.
