THIS. THIS. THIS. QTF.
Think we started noticing this around 2008 or so? When she keeps using the same director for PVs.. the guy who directed Days, and was it momentum? And several others in that couple of years, because they were high school friends. Luckily he was half-decent but that was a start.
Then there was that fetish for Kazuyoshi Shimomura in 2008 - 2010 or so, and then Leslie Kee until he dragged her ass down to prison to bail him out. Then we get Timmy (wow featured in the album photo shoot of her most self-indulgent era to date, how many of her BFFs get to boast that?!), that period also saw Mannie in 3 PVs in Love songs, then having to milk him to the last drop in Return Road PV. Then Maro on the COVER of one of her horridly executed mini-albums, and then on another three PVs before delegating to a grass-eating beggar who still hates on Ayu.
Look, I love this woman for her intelligence, foresight and ability to connect to people, but she's human too. Humans err. She has erred heavily from 2010 to 2013 and you're either deluded or blind not to see that. If only she had stuck to her pre-Secret days where she was actually more than anal about every detail in her career... no offense but I think the Ayu during the production of the Duty album would laugh her ass off at the Ayu during the LOVE again era.
