Well I would be happy for a anniversary Duty release. I'd love to see the special packaging covered in her signature leopard print.
Imagine if she would release another phone for the anniversary! It'd be so cool to see an iphone or galaxy covered in leopard with the A mark on the back.

Ayu put this in her IG story along with a rather long comment on IG about Risato.



I wonder if she's indirectly saying something about her own sexuality as well as Risato's identity.

Probably I thought so too but I haven't gone to confirm that.

A cautious translation from remove-mom at the AHS Discord:

Quote:
If it's Risato and myself, I believe we can convey the shape of our love knowing that it's still love regardless of the criteria set by those around us and irrespective of the judgement we might receive from them as well as differences in sex, nationality, age and the colour of one's skin, and that we'll be able to play out this eternity.

Looking back on it,

After the Countdown Live at Yoyogi, Risato and I parted ways feeling distant from one another, feeling frustrated and upset, as if our hearts were broken.

At Saigo no Trouble, Risato, seemingly full of resolve, held me tight and led me firmly away by the hand... and that's how things ended then.

Everything from this point onward connected to and continuing into the future is Risato's eternity, and those of us who are invited to watch it.

This summer of 2020, I love Prince Risato quite a lot...
Apparently Ayu's wording remains quite vague/cryptic through this, but she believes it is relating to Risato's personal journey and their growth.

That's a very sweet post! Risato also posted about it twice. Love that Ayu is so vocal about the LGBTQ community and have actively supporting us (hiring gay and transgender dancers, performing on Pride, being vocal about it). The real queen.

Are there any other Jpop girls THIS pro LGBT? I know Hikki is very supportive through her songs as well but never hear anything about Namie or Koda Kumi.

It looks like Risato is transitioning because Ayu refer them as "Prince Risato".

Wait y'all I am still not clear on whats happening. Is Ayu coming out lol?? Either way it makes me happy as a gay man. It means SO MUCH for a Japanese artist to do this. Its almost a given for American Pop artists to be progay but this is still such a genuine sign of alliance for Japanese artists to do this. I def do not take it for granted.

I don't really follow ayu's personal life or know if she's dating anyone or married right now - could she be saying they're dating? That really sounds like a romantic love confession to me

Spoiler:

りさと @risato__ と私の2人ならきっと、愛は愛でしかなくて、周りからの物差しやジャッジも関係なくて、性別も国籍も 年齢も肌の色も関係ない愛のカタチを伝えられると思い、一緒にエターナルを演って。

思い返せば、

代々木のカウントダウンではりさととなかなか結ばれず、もどかしくて苦しくて心が張り裂けたま ま離れ、

最後ノトラブルでは、意を決したように、りさとが強引に私を抱きしめ手を引いて連れ去っていく、、て ゙終わってた。

そこからまた未来へ繋がったのがエターナルで見てもらった私達です。

2020年夏はリサト王子とたくさん恋するんだ。。

Don't think that's the case though...

Iirc she mentioned on the stories that Risato is her friend. So I don't think the text was supposed to be a love letter.

Seems like she's saying she recognises Risato as a man regardless of what anyone else says which is why she used him as the love interest in the performance.

Ayu has always had an amazing track record regarding LGBTQ+ support. She has had many gay dancers, she had a gay romance in the GREEN PV with Midoring, performing at Tokyo Pride, her professional and personal relationship with Timmy, welcoming Lico back into the troupe as one of the girls to name but a few.

She has said many times the predominately LGBTQ+ population of Ni-chome gave her a place to belong when she moved to Tokyo and Ayu repays the community with the simple respect we deserve. Say what you want about her, J-Pop gays stan the queen.

Hikki her some LGBT themed stuff and the Kuma balls the threw to the audience during her USA tour had pro gay marriage messages. She also outted Kuma, lol.

Shiina Ringo has some LGBT themed stuff and had featured the voguing duo AyaBambi, that at the time was openly a lesbian couple.

Koda has her own share of pro LGBT MVs and I do believe she said she was an ally.

I don't think Namie ever said anything.

Ai Otsuka has some pro LGBT music videos. Don't know if she ever said anything on the subject.
