Well, yeah, they did... but at some point, if u don't go a step further, the shock value become common... I mean, after years of doing her dark, bizarre videos, something like 1Love or alterna seens to be just usual for her... And still, playing with her own image as an idol and with her own beauty is something somewhat recent... Even on her past videos that had shock value, she was always looking "beautiful and elegant"
But I confess I find it nice that her works are never all loved or all hated... on the day Ayu stops doing things that cause some controverse and discussion, she will die as an artist in my eyes xD
