A lot of people don't like the results. Sometimes I don't either, although I do think "theatrical" and "big statement" songs and sets suit Ayu well when they're done right. BUT even when something doesn't come out well, I love and respect Ayu for showing such care for people that the entertainment industry usually treats like garbage. She always makes sure to help with with both appreciation and employment. In the entertainment industry, that is a vanishingly rare show of both compassion and character.

It is very honorable and Japanese of her. I have so much respect of her for that.

I think the Troupe is pretty much the perfect size as it is. It's a good mix of gender, no one dancer gets the total spotlight, the energy is consistent and they have good stage personalities.
I do want to see Yocchan back one of these days, even just for some stripped down concerts or a special occasion....

I think her bond with Ichiza is really strong, even if they go separate paths. When on stage, she leans on them and you can see that in all her concerts. I love seeing that, it show how amazing Ayu is and how she draws people towards her. Dancers and performers always give it their best because it's for her and that alone makes me enjoy it when she is surrounded by people on stage. And here's to hoping to an acoustic concert soon |

I'm so bummed about Timmy. I always liked him and never truly understood the hate he would receive here which appeared as an issue beyond just "I don't like his songs".
I also felt a bit as though he was kind of a bridge between Ayu and her english-speaking/non-japanese fans — for example, iirc he has passed fanmade videos/gifts (similar to the recent birthday project) over to Ayu? I really loved that little connection... and now that's gone. I truly wish him the best!

Tim did a facebook live today and was looking his usual self. If anyone asked him about Ayu or what happened, he didn't respond to it. I'm watching my Promised Land DVD tonight and feeling quite sad and nostalgic about his performance. I also never understood the hate he got from people just because of his costumes or his presence.

^if he did not respond to any questions, then really something must have happened. Otherwise he could have just said that he simply wanted to do other projects and this is why he moved on. I hope he is alright.
Did he say anything about what he will be up to in the future, though? |

I hope among people who made such questions wasn't anybody from TA since ayu asked very clearly to give him space about it. I think it takes only a bit of sensibility and common sense to know there are things you shouldn't ask at particular moments even if your curiosity is eating you inside out.
I'm also eager to see his future projects

Maybe he just had to get out of japan because of some weird reason connected to COVID. Or not so weird and he had family issues at home. Or is he still in Japan?
As I said, I actually thought his songs for her were quite fresh - it was probably the circumstances around the PQ album and the dividing forces behind that that may caused some (western) fans to dislike him. I for myself don't enjoy DragQueen performances nor RuPauls DRace and so on. I respect the art for (and I found some things quite entertaining) but the hype around it made me lose interest. That said, I don't think is own performance in her shows always suited each show but its her decision. Its not like it made me not want to watch it.

He did a post on his Facebook about how Kobayashi Shingo was so important for him. That back in 2011 he didn't had any professional work related to music and that Shingo have supported him to audition to become a chorus singer (for Ayu). And that he took the opportunity that was in front of him and then got the job.

I loved Timmy songs, voice and stage presence, I'll surely miss him. It was also such a powerful political statement for ayu to have her by his side wearing those daring outfits. If I had to guess, I'd say he got sick of the hate he got and decided to leave and try something better for his mental health. I wouldn't say he had a bad time with ayu, but maaaaybe someone in the crew? I'll look forward to whatever he does from now on, and please ayu don't toss his songs aside from your concerts

Timmy unfollowed me on Twitter so to him.
In all seriousness though, I do wish him the best and I'll miss him. I was watching Power of A^3 the other day and thinking how large his contributions have been.

I've been watching a lot of this type of videos lately. Really cool stuff, how do they do it? Wish someone could make one for Ayu.

They have done it for Ayu, look for the female artist one.

I thought Timmy and Ayu were inseparable so to me hearing that he is leaving is hard to believe but, I guess it's true. I doubt he left on bad terms. He seems to just not want to discuss his personal reasons.
I am not celebrating his departure but I can't say I will miss him on stage. I do still appreciate his work with Ayu making music together though. |
