Honestly though it's pretty certain that entire CM uses a body-double. The shots are so splicey and strategically filmed. Even so, since that time she's done many revealing photoshoots.

And about that Netizens article, I died at the final post which featured ayu that read "A friend with the same hobby" lmao!

Does it really matter? I mean, even if it's a body double, they are still using it to represent Ayu's body, it's meant to be understood as it was her. Ayu agreeded on recording a cm whose selling point is showing to the viewer what should be her naked body, so she obviouly doesn't care about being seen as someone who would be naked. Also, considering LOVEppears, I AM... And RAINBOW covers, I don't think she ever had much problem on showing skin ^^

That comment also cracked me up haha what an unflattering picture they posted. But yeah, people need to calm down, Ayu and Gackt have been posing naked forever

[Evan Odinson]

^Yeah, and also looks like he doesn't care, he uploaded an instagram story showing his abs and even pulling down a little bit his pants while making a funny face, probably making fun of people complaining

Don't even mention Miley Cyrus.
It will be old news in a few days anyways, it probably already is.
It's interesting that they care so much since Gackt and Ayu are supposed to be irrelevant nowadays.

Thought the same! But who knows maybe in a few days there will be an article like this: "Ayumi Hamasaki's songs got 50 million illegal downloads! Singer is now the most successful artist Japan's with more than 103 million copies "sold"* and the first artist in Japan, to break the 100 million mark!" okay, no... But who knows...

Who knows...

*I know illegal download aren't "sold"

With Ayu, it's probably due to her age. When she was younger she was setting new trends and challenging social norms and people liked her for that. It was refreshing to see a popular young artist use nudity as part of their work without it being the explicit selling point.

Now Ayu's recent media highlights include her divorce, her separation, and the drama around dating one of her dancers. Most articles cycle around her personal life rather than her professional achievements. Flashing of skin is no longer seen as a young person being body confident but of an older woman doing it for attention. Even though Ayu hasn't changed, the way people perceive her actions will; it's where that 'grow old gracefully' saying comes from after all.

I'm not saying I agree with it but it's why I think we'll see more negative comments as Ayu grows older.

To be honest.... now we can claim Ayu has sold over 80 million records in her career, as Recochoku has revealed Ayu has sold 30 million downloads in the chart's 15 years story.

I love crazy naked Miley Cyrus but yeah, Ayu never has shown skin like, uhmm in a erotic (or maybe "trashy") way, I'm totally ok with nudity so for me it's not a big deal, but even with her sexy photoshoot she doesn't looks like a porn thing, I don't even find the party queen photoshoot to be erotic or too provocative
