Because he's irritating.
He thinks he's very important.
Because of him and his costumes, concerts look cheap and ridiculous.

Boxer Kōki Kameda went to the final date of the tour, and Ayu brought him up to the stage on the performance of "Shake it"
He said he's been a fan for 18 years already!

KittyKathy · #4 22nd February 2018, 07:41 PM

She didn't force him. I think they chose together.

You guys have been living in dreamland or what?? lol

I think Timmy is a nice guy but I wish he would go back to being behind the scenes. I don't enjoy his stage persona or his costumes, whether Ayu chooses them or not. I second that he cheapens Ayu's live shows. In the Made In Japan tour I cringed when Ayu was about to come out on stage and he was like, Are you ready for the kweeeeen?

I also get that feeling of "importance" from him too. It's like he is Ayu's pet or something.

I honestly got the self-important vibe from Timmy more toward the beginning, but less so now. Earlier on he was composing more music for her, in a bunch of videos, all around much more prominent and "in your face" and that may or may not have gone to his head a little.

But, that said, I think he seems like a genuinely nice person. He is always interacting with the fans, both online and in person, stopping to take pictures with them. You might see that as feeding his ego, but I actually think it is gratitude that he has been so well accepted. And the Japanese fans DO really like him, across the board - even if only because he is a foreign novelty. Before I went to TA 2016 I put an IG photo up after my 4 AM wake-up call to get to the airport, and in advance on my 18 hour flight to Tokyo and he commented that he promised it would be worth it, and he liked another photo or two of me waiting for the line-up to start at Zepp. Just really nice.

Now, I don't like the overall costuming that he is given, but I do think that is completely Ayu. Her background singers have always had slightly out of place outfits, especially as the show progresses, since they tend to only have one outfit. But other than it being a little cringe-worthy, there really isn't anything wrong with it either. And some of his stage interactions are a bit much for me, but I think he's a really theatrical person and he's just playing a part. Some people will love it, others will hate it. You do you.

He is really nice! We chatted on facebook sometimes some years ago and he was always very sweet and funny.

Yes Timmy is very nice and his friendship with Ayu is genuine, it's not like Leslie Kee or Alvin Goh who always try (or tried) to get attention to them by using Ayu. It could be nice to see him toned down a bit and not always be on stage with ridiculous outfit/makeup, but well Ayu's the one to blame for that.

+ He writes really goods songs for her

I thought WE was a new song but then I realized it's just w (double) encore :-( lol

Refix · #15 23rd February 2018, 08:09 AM

About MC session, I think deep down Ayu or the producer of her concert, still can't let go of AYU READY!? And they think that this little session would be a great things to do to her fans who regret the show had to be ended. Although the topic sometimes didn't focus on her or what hype.
