And she's a singer, too?! Let's try some of her music!" or something. Of course more exposure of Ayu is always good, but do you seriously think Ayu would get more fans because of a collaboration photoshoot?
But I am not bashing Ayu or anything. I'm just wondering this thing, and I AM NOT A HATER. I personally love Ayu very much (well again, as I found her amazeness again with You were.../BALLAD but that has no meanings in this conversation) and I don't wish to fight with you as my english sucks hard. I just wanted to say my opinion on the matter before this gets happily trashed. |
Believe me more people will find out about Ayu if she did this photoshoot. Lady Gaga fans will probably want to know who there Mommy Monster is working with, so they might look up Ayu on Wiki and they will read about her, and maybe something will interest them and they will look up one of her songs. I bet the song they would listen to first is Poker Face even though it sounds so different from Gaga's. I am speaking from experience I had looked up artist I never heard of, just because they did something I liked or had something to do with who I like.
It's like video game fans becoming a fan of Utada Hikaru. A lot of fans of Kingdom Hearts were not into Anime or Asian culture, but they heard Utada's Simple And Clean (Hikari) and they instantly looked her up and they ended up liking all of her music! Because of Utada's Simple And Clean (Hikari) and her Santurary (Passion) songs Utada has a bigger fan base in the US now!
