When it first came out, I remember hearing how she didn't want to do the "sexy" parts of the Startin' PV, that she was coerced/persuaded by the director. I wish I could find the source to prove it >.<
But also, I have a hard time believing that the queen herself could be forced to do something she didn't want to do.

I don't speak for everyone, but the reason that I fear a sexiness-overload is because it could turn into the kind of idiot soft porn that caters to the unintelligent masses. In particular, I'm thinking of most commercial American female artists and the racier Japanese ones.
Ayu being sexy isn't a bad thing. But it's so easy to go a little too far and forget what made her a respected artist in the first place. While I don't see this actually happening to Ayu, I can't help myself from fearing that it could.
