Totally agree that she nails the early Ayu fashion/beauty aesthetic, but I feel like another actress could have adopted this effectively also. Ayu's features are soft in contrast to Kalen's, which are more angular and 'striking.' Kalen's version of A BEST really conveys this imo, I think they're both gorgeous however, this isn't to slight Kalen at all, just to point out that I think they're quite different looking.
Really though, the aesthetics don't matter - it depends on the acting and whether she can effectively portray Ayu's mannerisms from back then. I don't know whether Kalen has actually conveyed that in her PVs - forlorn/curious glances and an aura of being distant, sure, but I think early Ayu was more charismatic and versatile than we give her credit for. Anyway, I'm excited to see the first real trailer or preview - surely we'll get one soon if this is coming in April?
