Ayu seems to have a lot of on and off friendships with people she works closely with (I.e.: Leslie Kee, Alvin Goh, and now Timmy) :/

I would like to think their working relationship ended, but that they're still friends. She forgave Leslie Kee and he broke a lot of trust with that staff photobook. So whatever Timmy did, I can't imagine it being worse.

It's good to have a division between professional and personal life.

Honestly, I'm ready for a new era. Less theatrics and more personal concerts

Brilliante is such a classic. Both the song and video.

Hopefully he returns in the future to compose new music for Ayu.

Both BRILLANTE and Survivor are great tracks.... the rest of what he worked on I can forget about gladly. Still not over how he ruined Return Road.

Well, I hope it wasn't anything bad. I found him a distraction on stage half the time (although his outfit was apparently Ayu's choice) but he wrote some great songs for her.

I hope Lee isn't gone for good. His stage energy is a great match for the troupe.

I learned to appreciate Timmy and his stage flaunts trough the years. I never really thought of them as friends, they probably had a good working relationship and that's about it. Again he did alright in terms of being her back up singer and he made some good music for Ayu.
Maybe Ayu is laying off employees and she started with him.Who knows? Difficult times and all...
I simply cannot fathom how utterly miserable he might feel right now , either way , I wish him all the best.

Ayu has officially commented on Timmy leaving in her latest TA post.

Quote:
そしてもう1人、ティミーに関してですが、これは完全に彼のプライベートな事なので、私の口からは何の説明 もする事は出来ません。今はただ、彼が穏やかに自分の時間を過ごしていてくれるといいなと思っていますので 、みんなもあまり詮索せずそっと見守ってあげてもらえると嬉しいです。
Google translate:
"And one more thing about Timmy, it's completely private to him, so I can't explain anything from my mouth. Right now, I just hope he spends his time calmly, so I hope everyone will watch over him gently without snooping too much."

Could this have anything to do with his comment about bad mixing of Promised Land?

Ayu loses Timmy (split relations) and Shingo Kobayashi (RIP, cancer) in short, coincidental sequence. Going to really miss them both from Ayu's roster, but it's time to move on.

I really dont think so as it was a harmless comment and Ayu's message seems to imply that Timmy's departure is his choice and is for personal reasons.

there were too many hateful comments about him on YouTube

Get rid of all the dancers apart from two "statement" dancers (like the 2 vogue girls Shiina Ringo had recently) and just have a band.

I was rewatching the videos of her and the dancers commenting the concerts and it is so clear that all her dancers have so much respect for her - and vice versa. In one of the videos Midori comments that she finds fascinating that after Ayu introduces the dancers/band during the concert and she always says "Vocal: Ayu". She mentions that adding the "vocal" before her own name makes her in the same level as everyone else, that everyone has the same importance in the stage. And I think that explains a lot on why she keeps such a huge team of dancers, she really respect them and have them as a support. I don't think she will ever get rid of them...

I'm worried about him, his mental health probably isn't the best right now.

Lee has graduated as well, so he's gone.
