I think Ayu saying that she has a foot fetish is one of the greatest things I've heard her say in an interview tbh???

Wow, so Ayu is actually only 4'11''/5'0'' or so? Tiny!!! Her 'official' (haha) height was always noted as 5'2'', or 157cm or so...

The foot fetish is hilarious though. xD

She'd hate my feet; I'm a dancer so mine are all messed up.

This was so interesting and fun to read! The foot fetish...
But, Ayu, are you basically asking me to stop calling you Ayu? I can't. I really love you babe, but I can't. Ayu forevah and evah.

I love her short hair best! It really brings out her boyishness, yet her cuteness as well! I like that she describes herself as manly! That's hilarious.

And I doubt anyone's surprised about her love for black and leopard print.
