^ Sadly, I did not read it. My presentation went well. My professor asked some hard questions. He found Ayu so Western, and wondered what was so authentic about her music then (I did not come further than her voice, because it is like describing Ayu, or any big female popstar like Madonna, who doesn't have 'one' sound in particular) . Also, in relation with the theme "girlpower", a lecture I gave yestersay about the age of female pop authors... he questioned Ayu's strong girl power, because in alterna she is attached to strings and even trown away at the end... (I responded with that she find her strength in lyricwriting, because she dares to (emotionally) express herself in a way which is not common under the Japanese folks... but I am not sure I really nailed that answer)
I am curious how you guys would have responded.
