That as well might go with her dancers, maybe some of them do actually have a little something when it comes to acting. Plus i could bet for her it feels more comfortable to do scenes with them who are actually close to her than some stranger who was hired only for that job. I could then also ask why did she pic up Jaejoong to be in blossom video? She could have hired anyone else, really. The dude has a talent for acting and he just happens to be her friend.l
He's composed, done backing vocals on both CD and tours, been in PVs, and had those ringmaster or w/e roles in tours, where he just sort of struts around on stage and is giant and awkward. She pretty much shoved him in our faces for a while, just like she did with Shuya and Mannie and then Maro.

Again, I don't think it would be a problem if Timmy was really... qualified for that role on stage. But he's so awkward in tours that it comes off as Ayu having just put him there because "teehee we're BFFs let's do everything together!" It doesn't come off as a role she created and then decided to hire Timmy for. It comes off as a role she shoehorned in just so Timmy could have a place in her sparkly concert tour.

And I don't find "comfort" to be an excuse because, like, that's her job. She's been doing this for 15 years now, she's a big girl.
