Ai Otsuka is not too cutesy. She has plenty of mature songs. Let's see, with LOVE COOK, half the songs were mature, with the other half ranging from mellow and goofy, too a little crazy. She's not all cutesy. I'm happy with the way she is, if she had all mature music I'd get a little bored of her... .-.
People who
should change their image, to better themselves (Not just for what the public wants), are:
Koda Kumi - I agree, please put some clothes on.
Mika Nakashima - The NANA look was for NANA, right? o_o;
HALCALI - I agree that T.T.T. is a bad sign for the future, oh commercialism/conformity. I miss Girigiri Surfrider!

Image changes are bad, too much annoying marketing and commercialism. Yuck. Except SAYAKA, she had a reason to change her image from cutesy pop-star. I feel so bad for her with all those family issues and her creepy over-protective mother (Seiko Matsuda) She definetely needs to be anything but a clone of her mother.
