Otherwise I am not of fan of the message of that song and video, I find it hypocritical a little when ayu hire fat people to say they are beautiful when she had how many cosmetic interventions and has always been very careful of her body and always edit her promo pictures (and I am not saying that in a bad way).

It feels she just picked somebody she judges unapealing to her standards and pretend to empower her. I don't know if that actress is famous, if she is, then my mind may change.

I would have prefer to just see ayu shoot the video without make up and filter.
I was thinking something along the same lines when someone called out the presence of Louis Vuitton. There’s some highly inauthentic, artificial, and manufactured about that and then this message coming from ayu. She has a right to enjoy her luxuries but the image she portrays now is so unattainable, it doesn’t feel believable when she touts lyrics in songs like this…
