What happened with Chiharu and Etsu, Ayu´s coreographers???
 

When I watch the makings from the promotional videos, I always found Chiharu and Etsu, Ayu´s coreographers, laughing or preparing some steps for diferents songs..... but in GUILTY DVD they don´t appear at all, what is more in "TALKIN´2 MYSELF" making the coreographer is ZIN, one of Ayu dancer (the one who teaches in CDL 07-08 how to dance "MY ALL"). Then in "MARIONETTE" the coreographers are Zin and Maroka (the last is the one who makes that spectacular jump before Ayu stars singing "LADIES NIGHT" in CDL 07-08) or even in "(DONT) LEAVE ME ALONE" the coreographer is Kayano (The girl who wears pink dress in that video).... Where are Chiharu and Etsu????..... I hope they are preparing all the coreographies for Asia Tour 2008!!!!!!

They are not and never were regular choreographers for Ayu. Chiharu & Etsu are full time members of TRF and only guest choreographed & danced in a couple of Ayu's PV's.

Thanks for the information!!

devilayu, thanks for information!
But what's is TRF?

TRF (Tetsuya Komuro Rave Factory) is a Japanese popular music group. Its' members are rapper DJ KOO, lead vocalist YU-KI, and dancers CHIHARU, ETSU, and SAM.

Read it.

BTW, Chiharu and Etsu still regularly supervise the rehearsals and do choreo for the concerts. See CDL06-07 making of for examples.

I was talking to a Japanese fan and he said that Ayu distanced herself from them when it became apparent they were gossiping about her to Namie Amuro.

TRF is a famous group in Japan from early 90s

I think Chiharu & Etsu became ayu's coreographer thanks to ayu's love for the group

In 2002 TRF joined ayu on stage of CDL 2002-2003 and performed TRF hit songs as well as AUDIENCE together with TRF's singer YU-KI

Moreover on 2013 ayu covered TRF's song "Teens" on TRF Tribute Album

smh
never liked them

I would take that with a pretty big grain of salt, lol

What happened was probably similar to PECO (the choreographer / back up singer around the time of CHIHARU and ETSU) and how she kind of just wanted to do her own thing.
