I think elegance is a new image for Ayu, because she's almoust 30 now.
anyway, I agree with you. I like her back to 2001 when she was a fashion-icon, had so stylish tops,jeans, lotsa accesorries. that was an event even to see scans of mags where she wore KAWAII things, describing the J-Style
maybe she just feels she needs another image right now. maybe she thinks we are bored of stylish Japanease at every corner.
I dislike the huge amount of dresses, long skirts. she's in a good shape, so, wazzup?
1stly I thought it was to support the albumz style
but, back then, 'MY STORY" was glam-shiny, but she was still ok.
and then, (m)u and now Secret-
they all have the same theme, right?
I just noticed that recently, but it does has the connection between all 3 albums.
gosh...
we'll see, maybe after "A BEST2" things will change
but now she really has never-changing style, maybe she's chosen it to stuck out from the list of J-Pop artists?
