but i completely agree with you. i've had so many people tell me (after i tell them that I like ayu) that she has a "bad personality" or "she's too full of herself"--the latter being in different words, but that's the general meaning.

she's definitely lost her grasp on the everyday people of japan, which is what she used to have going for her xD

HOWEVER, that being said, she is still one of the most respected female artists in japan, and that's definitely reflected in the japanese society.
Yep, I just watched the segment again now and am still kind of shocked that she didn't know what it was. She then said that she thinks she saw one in the hallway. To be funny, the hosts asked her to draw what she thinks Pasmo is and she draws like a little stuffed animal figurine. They then show her an actual Pasmo card and explain to her what it is used for. And this is all being done by the Kinki Kids - two guys that arguably have as much money and fame as Ayu, yet they knew what the card was and even had one with them.
