I wonder if there are any like me...I've been a fan since 02 and go "ugggh ayu what's wrong with you!" over things like the similarity in her work (bluebird with fairyland, all the rock songs with fake synthy music), or maybe even get mad because arrangements in her songs are so repetitive and there's no "wow" like with SURREAL, or M buuuttt...

at the end of they day, I'm still the same big fan, and eventually come to love every track on their own, and finally she treats me with something like "kiss o kill" or whatever lol.

Yes. She is SUCH a **** now. I couldn't stand Momentum and how she was all sexed up in front of that mediterranean grandpa! She's so Britney Spears now, like wut da heckerz?! Oh, don't even get me started in Part of Me - with all em' scantily clad dudes and that perverted praying mantis... UGH!!! And what a revealing kimono!

I'm okay with Ayu's PV but I was hooked on to her 2001 till 2005 decade those PV's were great!! Still people change and Ayu's change is okay

Startin'? is that it?
OMG you make me laugh so hard. :laugh :laugh :laugh

how the heck did you come up with that?

Well.. I prefer her newer songs and Videos.
And... I don't think, she wanna sell her songs with sex or someting like that. Jewel or Momentum or Part of me is not very "Sexy"... just nice videos, with no sex in it.. I like them!

Jesus.. she just wants something new and.. more mature maybe. She can`t stay all girly girly like before. I like her new vids and old ones also, and I have to admit her first ones were BORING! Yes, I know it was the begining so it`s ok.. But she just put some cooler stuff in her PVs and so.. If you are talking about "sex", look at Kumi for Gods sake

Ayu doesn't seem to be as racy as most artists out there, even in Japan. I think her videos are quite tame. Even in 1 LOVE, the outfit she's wearing is quite modest compared to what it could be.

LOL sexy image? The sexiest Ayu's been is my name's WOMEN, and even that was mroe of her back up dancers being sexy. As far as diva's go, Ayu has the least sexed up image.

teh video poker face mentally scarred me for MONTHS.

I was just like ... so confused. I couldn't figure out teh logic behind the TV's ... or howteh hell they could possible stay attached to the trees.

Anyway, I like her new videos.

My favorite videos by her are ...
fairyland
beautiful fighters
alterna
inspire
game
blur bird
1love
momentum
part of Me
ourselves
greatful days
daybreak
angels song
the trilogy
rainbow
bold and delicious
appears


I dont really like most of thestuff before I am ... only the trilogy and appears.
everything else is boring to me

I think the least sexed up of the "Wow wow" female artists that rely heavily on image in Japan is probably Ai.

She's indirectly sexy, and really perverted, but she's never done the things Ayu's done.. or that other person..

Yeah, Ai is very un sexed up. She is funny and cute, but the CHU-LIP cm ... omg .. so many perverted subliiminal messages o__o

I think ayu really isnt that sexed up/

I think some of the raciest things she's ever done was early in her career... Duty/LOVEppears covers, anyone?

She's getting soaking wet in the 'Boys & Girls' video for no apparent reason, and in 'appears' she's outside on top of building with her extremely hard nipples showing through her blouse. The videos have no plot on top of that, it's fan-service.

And it's LMAO that people want to say Startin' was not a parody, whether it was a good parody or not.

I love all her pv's excepts for her extrmely **** one's made in 1998-99.

Okay, 2006 was a blah year for PV, but you know, she's human, and there's bound to be repetition of some sort.

And with the sexy image, she's nearing her thirties. She's a grown woman whose allowed to be sexy. And I really only see the sexiness in the way she dress really, and that's a matter of personal judgment of sexiness.

With stuff that are distinctively "Ayu", then it would be the run out of the mill generic ballad that everyone would complain about. Just because they're not "Ayu" does not mean they're not necessarily bad.

But then again, I'm still a relatively new fan.

I love Ayumi going towards the sex sells, haha she is a very attractive woman :luv2

I hope she does continue on the path but in Ayu's case she'll do it in an elegant and slow way if you haven't noticed she isn't like going overboard on anything. She puts her own twists onto the sex sells thing. 1LOVE video was just amazing though lmfao, so wow. Pole dancing Ayu :lech

Yeah, her first PVs were :o :rolleyes

Now she does whatever the director and her thinks fits the song best. And sexy? She hasen't ever been very sexy, only a couple of times. Not since startin' anyways.

I disagree with the sexiness in her PV's... Off course, in some PV's she wears sexy outfits, but she does not use sex appeal the way Koda Kumi or Namie Amuro do... And i..e part of me isnt exactly a sexy video..

same here. i have liked ayu a lot less since she has gone hard rock. i miss her I AM and RAINBOW days.

i think the typical ayu PV after 2003
are

MOMENTS
GAME
CAROLS
is this LOVE
alterna
HEAVEN
1 LOVE
JEWEL
momentum
part of Me

most of her summers PV like INSPIRE / fairyland / BLUE BIRD are so dud !

her bestest PV i will say

Dearest
RAINBOW = so cooL ~
NWTS
free & easy
MOMENTS
HEAVEN ~

What's so bad with being sexy? She's got the body and the attitude so why not show it off?

lmao good one there.
