That's not really what I meant but, yeah I think some fans do seem somewhat ashamed.
What I meant though was more along the lines of her general standing in Japan. It seems Ayu wanted to present some kind of deeper meaning to the people that see the album but if that doesn't come across, then I think most people are going to be left with a negative impression. The general public here already holds a somewhat precarious opinion of her and this might be the final nail in the coffin.....or it will go over huge and sell a ton, haha. Its one of those things that is not going to have a middle ground when it comes to public opinion you know? I don't think that Ayu is a shallow **** at all, but I would hate people to get that false impression of her, you know? It's easy to say you shouldn't care what other people think, but the reality is different when you are a public figure because what people think of you will in many ways directly effect you for good or bad.

I don't actually think noone thinks this. What people who's "worried" mean is more like "Ah, shoot, since we do live in a world where sex and porn is still quite tabu to put out in regular stores in the bright day, this album might get more bashing then it deserves". Are you getting what I mean here? It's not like these "worriers" feel like they will doubt their own liking and preferences, but more like that the album will get a more unfair chanse towards the casual listners. Because we all know that the world isn't as rebellic and forward thinking as Ayu is. That's pretty much the thing about the whole "worry" aspect.

Yes, this. I should really read all the posts first before I reply.
