^^don't be...angry if this gets trashed okay

I...don't care about her. She can do whatever she likes, unbuttoning whatever, I'll probably never watch or hear that music video.

In reference to Ayu though...Maybe to them Ayu shows too much skin? Who the hell knows...I mean, maybe your sig is raunchy (i hate that word) kodayumi
I have no idea.

It just seems like a general description of the two artists to me, nothing to really get excited about. Ayu can be sexy at times, so I see nothing wrong with it really. She doesn't always look cute and sweet.

Well, sex kitten used in the article like that in regard to Ayu seems to me to be a bit, uh, not offending exactly, but it was said as to mean that Kumi and Ayumi are awful singers and only get fame by wearing sexy clothes. That's what it looked like to me, at least. But I don't really care what they say about Ayumi or Kumi if it's not true (like the artist the article is about is supposedly any better!). Ok, Kumi has a bit of an obsession with "scandalous" clothes as of late, but Ayumi... no.

Honestly, I can never see Ayu as a 'sex kitten'...

Pretty, gorgeous, cute, hot (sometimes), YES. But, sex kitten...not so much.

The author of this article probably seen one video (if even) and jumped the gun.

i'm sure some people probably do look at ayumi as a sex kitten. i mean, she isn't overtly sexual in her images, but i can see how someone would look at her as a sex kitten. i mean, look at her in my names women, 1LOVE, and other pvs. she's not skanky or whatnot, but she is portraying a more sexual image.

Why is it a big deal if someone calls Ayu a sex kitten? Why is that a bad thing?

I don't know how you can get all of that from the article. That's extreme.

I guess it's a bit extreme, but since the girl in the article used that "sexy kitten" style because she wasn't famous enough before it, it seemed to me like they were implying the same thing for Ayu. But again, that's only what I thought from reading the article, and I can sometimes overly analyze the things that are written, so my mistake if I sounded kind of overreacting. It's just that "sex kitten" seemed to be used in a negative way in the article, so it annoyed me a bit.

But in general, while I don't consider Ayu to be a sex kitten, if it was said in a positive way, I'd be happy that my favourite singer is considered to be sexy.

They may have meant sexy & fashionable, rather than the rather... well certainly more Koda than Ayu image that the term "sex kitten" usually conjures in people's minds. The writer probably only saw the Duty & LOVEppears cd covers or something prior to writing that. o_O

But ayu is definitely not a "sex kitten".

you gotta relax. i think the article is still trying to praise ayu and kuu for being sexy. think positive!!!!!

You must be prepare to see more of this articles that might point ayu as 'selling with body' in Singapore or even other countries. Did you notice ayu is wearing lesser and more sexier? There will be people who's gonna see her recent pvs or lives or concerts and thought ayu is selling her body.
Before anyone start to bash my above comments, i MUST say i actually knew people who thought that way. Even after i shown them the old ayu's clips or lives or concerts, they will go, 'that's her past! She just change to become more seducing!'

I don't need to see Ayu almost naked to consider her a Sex Kitten. I can always imagine.

The pic in that article was a little eek to me.

Just because Ayu doesn't dress like Koda Kumi doesn't mean she isn't as sexy. You don't have to wear almost nothing to be hot. All I'll say is Ayu is quite attractive to me and always has been in my eyes.

I don't think Ayu can be considered a sex kitten. The article is just making a generalized statement. I wouldn't get upset about it, really.

Is 'sex kitten' is a positive thing to say? Mostly. Accurate? Not really. Ayu can be sexy but 'sex kitten' implies that she exudes certain characteristics that I just don't see in her image. I don't want to go too into it, so I'll just say that even in near nudity or in more provocative clothing, Ayu is far too elegant and dignified to be labeled as so. It's like...two women can be wearing a bikini (but not one bikini at the same time, because that's just weird). However, depending on their attitude and presentation, one can come off as skanky and raunchy, while the other completely 'goddess-like'.
