oops, I said this with really minimal knowledge of what she sang or wore at CDL...Now that I look at it, I see the similarities. Something about it, though, still seems to have a different vibe.
I guess since she didn't do Kanariya. XD That's really the main thing I even paid attention to last time.
By the way, to comment on this overly burlesque style, I think she's going for a Dita von Teese style. Looking at it now, I think Ayu's costumes this time around are pretty terrible. I think the gold fringe outfit is the greatest offender. I think it's great to show off her curves but it's like she's forgotten herself. People change, so I can kind of accept it. But, when I think about who she was before as an innovative, trend-setting artist, I feel like that image does not match her today. Again, that's fair, since people change over time. But, I feel like she has lost any originality in the back of a cheap costume closet.
She keeps pushing this rough, BDSM kind of look. I kind of felt like she pulled away from that in Made in Japan, at least a little bit. She had adopted a style that looked natural to her. This style just doesn't come across that way to me.
