I really like to follow Britney on social media, for example. Because Britney shares a lot of videos/pics that aren't perfect, on which she looks normal or sometimes she's just making a goofy face and kidding around. I don't need to see Ayu in her 12625361626162627 "sexy" outfit posing like a fashion model. Not to mention that lately it looks as if she's trying waaaaay too hard for my taste, as if she's trying to prove something, so that her pics are a little emberrassing to look at for me. I don't need to see a perfect pic of sexy Ayu trying to look as hot as possible, that's boring. I want to see an Ayu who isn't afraid to show her real face without duck face and 27 different filters. |

I think this is the way she prefers her photos to be. I'm glad she's still sharing stuff on social media and honestly, it's up to her what image she projects to the world.
I think it's a lot to ask for a celebrity to show the "real them" to everyone... I feel she has been putting more of a separation back between "Ayumi Hamasaki" and "Ayu" than she was a few years ago. |

What I love about Ayu is she is true with herself. She doesn’t act as the old society's image try to force on her. She assumes all the parts of her personality. Sometimes she is serious, sometimes she is shallow, sometimes she is furiously happy, sometimes she is making fun of herself (remember that duck rubber ring?) …All that faces are a part of herself. It’s not a shame to show that and to act as she want to act. The photos are just the representation of how she felt at that moment. Age and gender shouldn’t rule our life. She is a true inspiration for all women and minorities who are afraid to walk the head high and be themselves when they want. You want to ride a unicorn just because you find that fun? Don’t be afraid because you’re 45. Life is too short to care about people’s view who don’t dare to stick out the mold. Fulfill your wishes and you’ll end your life without regrets!

Sorry mods, if this is off topic please move it. I felt that these points are related to how ayu is on social media and how we respond to that as fans, but it may not be perfect for this thread. Anyway, about these outfits, ayu certainly is constantly trying new things. But I would like to know what her favorite styles of dress are if she has some. She goes through so much. I do associate her personal style and even social media style as something separate from her live and tour styles. Personally, I can't say if more or less goes into the styling now, because I think measures of effort depend on how much one likes it. In the past, where more effort is assumed, ayu has so many styles I just truly don't like. She really is just always changing. |

Maybe it's me, but I don't really get your point? (This isn't meant to be passive agressive, I just don't really think I get it.)
I wasn't saying Ayu tries to be sexy while being not. I was saying, because she tries too hard for me, she isn't anymore. I find her instagram account simply more and more boring, because it looks like every woman's IG. There isn't much of a difference between her kind of pics and the ones my female friends post. Everyone is just trying very hard to be as hot as possible in their pics. It's boring and I don't like this kind of pics. Trying too hard to look hot doesn't make her a bad person or whatever, it just makes her pics and social media appereance boring and a little emberassing, in my opinion. If you don't agree, that's fine. I couldn't care less if others agree or not, but I think I'm allowed to voice my opinion like everyone else without being basically told "I don't want you to write those things". People here are constantly commenting on her weight, that she's too fat or how her breasts look. But somehow people find it more insulting when I say I think she tries too hard to look hot (and therefore am indirectly saying that she wouldn't need to try that hard because she would look more sexy without trying that hard). If you guys like to read my comments as if I'm betraying the fandom and don't deserve to be here, be my guest. But it's boring when people don't try to argue my points but only comment how they don't like my posts. Having said that, I don't think Ayu posts her pics because she feels like it, but out of a PR decision. I honestly think that it would do her more good if she would stop trying to look like every basic fashion model and more like herself. From my experience Japanese people respond well to more normal pics of her, when she looks like herself. It makes them point out how nostalgic they feel and how cute she is, whereas those other pics, with strange facial expressions and poses and hundreds of filters seem to provoke comments how ugly she became (btw, I wouldn't say she looks ugly). |
