Who do U think should change their image

[Kikaru]

I would really want Otsuka Ai to just get a little more mature. Since I'm not really fond of her "cutesy" songs, her "I'm a little girl" image is starting to annoy me, and LOVE COOK did not help otherwise.

I like Mika's current image.

Koda Kumi have a nice body to show off (*sigh* what I would do to get a body like that...) but I really would like her to have more of a "subtle" sexy look rather than her "in your face" sexy look.

Ayu...has no image...since she changes a lot, and should stay that way...

Hikki has a nice haircut...but she always looks a bit plain to me...

Gackt, for the love of *insert diety here*, no more cornrolls.

LOL!
I agree with that one ..
Maybe he took the idea from HYDE.. well, at least HYDE looks good in 'em.. and he didn't cornroll the entire hair he has

[Keishi]

Mika: back to her awesome CG style....I may the only one who dislike Glamorous Sky...:lol:
Koda: well, she's fit in...being sexy already her style (makes me think what will happen if she pass the audition for MoMuSu)
Ayu: umm....back to I am... era...rock don't fit with her voice
Utada: hmmm....I believe she doesn't have problem with her image
Namie: umm...can't judge...since i'm not a big fan of her...but she's not fit with ballad....(with exception of ALL FOR YOU)

[pinkuxgum]

Mika shouldnt change her looks.. but her music should be rockier.. she has the voice suitable for rock.. [but she should also keep to her pop songs]

Ai Otsuka, perfect as she is.. i love both her ''mature'' songs and her ''cutsey'' songs..

Utada Hikaru, i love her style, her songs are great.. although she should do more english songs! [and a fair share of japanese]

Koda Kumi, i love her, i love her music and her style, keep the sexy look.. ^^

[JesA]

like yu, tomiko8, im not bashing, but heres what i think of the artists' images

Hikki- *sigh* she needs more stuff, and less dull. shes too sad in her videos and she needs more upbeat stuff. c'mon Hikki show us that pretty smile.

Kumi- omg....sorry for her fans, but i really think shes being too hot. Shake It was scary *the girl on girl part* and the "you can do it put yur back into it" part was total too much....please Kumi show people the wondeful person yu are and not Avex's hotty. ATTACK THEM *lol*

Namie- i used to really love her until Want Me Want Me. now that was totally way too much. her new stuff is really good, even though Violet Sauce sounded a little sexyish to me, and the "anotha flavor" thing sounded stupid. shes not a street pimp....

Mika Nakashima- now im starting to like her, but something i noticed in her songs, was that they were all jazzy or sad/slow/ish. she needs a little more exctiement in her songs. maybe a little pop or techno or maybe rock here and there. its like making a pizza. her songs were a cheese pizza, but the pop songs are sausage, the techno is pepporoni, and the rock is beef. adding those would make one good pizza. mmmm i want pizza now. *gomen for all the pepople i made hungry just now*

But Mika did do rock, songs like Fed Up and most notably, her GLAMOROUS SKY single. In fact, think she's doing another rock single for NANA 2. She does have upbeat songs if you listen to certain tracks from her albums.
Personally, I think her voice is more apt for ballads.

[Princess_Of_Roses]

I dont think anyone should change their style. They are making a living being who they want to be. So if they change now they probably wont be as famous. ^___^ People love seeing them as they are. I would be upset if Ai Otsuka became uncute, Kumi became unsexy or Ayumi becoming un unique...so they need to stay like they are.

[Vinylfantasy]

I would pay big bucks just to see Yoji Biomehanika in a suit and tie, without his drag queen makeup, dreads, and eyelashes. Once. Just once. Hopefully reality as we know it doesn't collapse on itself, I'm not sure the world can handle a cleaned up Yoji.

[MsMiyabi]

Ai Otsuka - Please grow up I mean your 23 and you still sound like your 5.
Mika Nakashima - I would love to see More NANA image in Mika.
BoA - Less Ballads
Ayumi - Lately is seems like she is confused and is trying to do so much. I want Ayumi to be herself and stick with the kinds of music she loves to make

Did you know if Ai wasn't a singer she was going to be a preschool or kindergarten teacher?

A lot of people who haven't heard all of her songs complain about her being too cutesy. Lets see how many non-cutesy songs she has, LOVE PUNCH:6/11, LOVE JAM:5/11, LOVE COOK:7/12, so with her albums, she's only 44% cutesy.

With singles (B-sides included), she's cute about 43% of the time. So overall, she's only about 43.5% cutesy. I don't think have cute songs is a bad thing. She's extremely talented, and a voice is a voice. Look at Ayumi's, it hasn't changed in 8 years, I don't think Ai's will.

I don't think u know I have the Love Cook and Love Jam album on my computer I guess you didn't know that. And my comments still stand about her needing to grow up after listening to two album. 44% or not I still think the image should go.

The reason why some artists look 'cutesy' is because in Japan, cuteness is attractive to them.
That's part of the reason why Ai Otsuka 'sounds' 5

Well, we're talking about images here, not voices..

I see Mika doing rock for NANA2.. I agree with one person that her voice is more suited for ballads. I LOVED Glamorous Sky, but the rock genre isn't really for her. There are just certain people that can pull it off.

Oh me?
Anyways, I really don't think Ku needs any change in her image. Sure, some people are complaining about how her image is too "provacative." Just give it a few more years, some other artists will start to "emulate" her sexy image. I give props to her for being daring.

But people are forgetting Most of Kumi's fans are female.

[Raleigh]

^Yep that's true. Her cute style is what attracts people to her.

[Ryoko]

All the things that everyone wants changed is the artist's style.

Although I would want some people to change, I have no control over that matter, so....

But I really want Namie to wear less short skirts. She looks so skinny most of the time...

[Ryoko]

I think it's nice that females can look up to Kumi and say "I wanna be like her." Even the sex aspect of her career, and her not showing too much clothes as other people think, I think that inspires people. I'm not surprised that most of Kumi's fans are female anyway. When I first say the PVs in the secret album DVD, I thought "I wanna look like that." It inspired me to go work out.

So I don't think artists should have to change their image, a.k.a. their style.

I'm not trying to start an argument, but...

43% is a pretty big percentage. And I know plenty of Kindergarten or preschool teachers that can act their age and still are good teachers. And yes, I'm one of those people who think Ai's acting too young for her own good. And I have all of Ai's albums.

Ayumi's voice hadn't changed in 8 years? seriously, compare Poker Face to Boys and Girls to Season to M to Pride. Actually, just compare the three versions of A song for XX and you'll see.

I have to agree Ai does need to grow up a little. Her image is very Avril Lavigneish. Some of her songs are really nice. I just wish her image wasn't so immature. When I first saw and heard of Ai I swore she had to be like 14 I was suprised she was older then me.
