There are behind the scenes videos where she's very strict and demanding. If I remember correctly there's a footage where she made aerial dancers cry or something. Also I think she made her existing dancers go through auditions for her next shows and one of the members didn't make it and had to leave the troupe.

^So she acts like a normal boss? I don't think that's being mean or nasty, at the end she seems really close with all of them but she still needs to draw a line and they have to fulfill a contract and respond to her, if she feels they can't keep the work rhythm or are not performing as well as before is completely natural they'd get replaced, you can't expect to keep your position forever just because you get along with the boss.

This was because she was searching for new aerial dancers and selected a few, but under them there was one dancer who couldn’t satisfy her enough to be part of the group all though she trained hard.
Of course you’re sad then….

None of those situations were harsh or demanding.

This is literally being demanding. Otherwise you would be satisfied with whatever decent, but not great thing you're being offered.

Exactly but that doesn't make her "mean" or "harsh" she expects certain level (for her team and for this talent show thing contestants of course) and she needs to be "demanding" in these situations, nothing wrong with that.

I didn't use any adjectives that paint her as an evil person, but people got defensive. I just provided examples why I don't think she necessarily will be sweet to contestants (at least if she really cares about the results).

Guess she changed her criteria now... I can’t picture the Ayu from that time having the kind of shows she has nowadays. And sorry if I offend anyone.
