Was this person in a deep state of coma for the last 20 years and just woke up now? lol

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Were they upset that she was at pride in general, or that they couldn’t get tickets?

[tenshi no hane]

Yeah, you have to be living under a rock to not realise she supports LBGT lol.

I revamped my lyrics website~ I also added my previous interview translations >> website

This fan never watched How beautiful you are PV.

Or Shake it PV.

Or XOXO PV.

Or Green PV.

Or Sexy little things and Step you during AT10.

Or Shake it during AT12.

Or any of her post Timmy concerts.

Or Dolls during TA Tour.

Maybe he is not a fan? :B

I think Ayu's efforts to ensure consistent gay-following came quite a while after her peak. It wasn't part of her image right from the start of her career. In my perception female pop singers tend to focus on gays more prominently after the general public and thus a lot of former fans have left the party.

I'm not too familiar with US pop but isn't it the same with big stars like Britney, who have once become a teenage girls' idol and nowadays mainly rely on their gay fan-base?

This is exactly right. I might make an exception for Madonna though. As for Ayu it wasn't very obvious until the late 2000s or 2010s. When I was a new fan in the 2000s it was always a curiosity of mine if Ayu supported lgbt or not. In fact I was surprised to see other lgbt fans online because I thought Ayu's music didn't seem like something that would broadly appeal to that demographic. I think Ayu has one of the most diverse fan bases. She reaches everyone.

Ayu had been seen in Nichome a lot when paparazzi followed her around everywhere.

Didn’t she also reveal at tokyo pride that she used to hang at the gay bars before her career took off?

[kendelle]

Y'all forget the fact she had an album and song called RAINBOW?

Even the A BALLADS covers hinted LGBT even if it had the dual meaning of self-acceptance. It's been more front-and-centre in recent years but it's always been there.

tenshi your site is coming along really well

It´s Arama.... they always say shit about Ayu

[truehappiness]

That is a bizarre rumor. I guess people probably thought that her being so protective over that dancer in particular with the shit on his social media that she really liked him or whatever but he was the only one with "problem" stuff on his Twitter/IG.
