Good thing about being somewhat irrelevant: no blackface controverse :B

^ TBH in Japan I'm not sure anyone would care anyway. It's reminiscent of the whole kogal imagery anyway, more than being considered "blackface."

I thought there was 'behind the scenes' footage of her early music videos shown on Channel A?
![]() The new packaging looks very nice. It's making me more and more tempted to buy it.

I don't think she had any ill intentions with that cover, but it's not uncommon for local artists to be attacked by the internacional public over stuff that aren't issues at their home countries.

the problem is, some people don't know about that. if she was more relevant for stan twitter, for example, they would try to drag her for that picture, not knowing it's reminiscent of gyaru and kogal movements

from what i've seen stan twitter also seems to consider the gyaru movement itself problematic anyway, so even if they do know about these styles they'd still drag her

I forgot Ayu was technically "caucasian" on the fromt cover. This would later become her standard look but was the first time she was blonde, right?
