Weird, so i think Namie's formula is more western than ayu.

I just think that Namie didn't get her audience to a "routine".
She has a different way of working than Ayu :
Namie constantly changes her creative team, she tries new things, surprises her audience, whereas Ayu stays on what has been working for almost 10 years and only makes minor changes at a time.
