I’ll agree that a lot of performances and videos are. My standard for hugely sexualized is Koda Kumi who has passed the point of what I would call “good taste” a long time ago. On the other hand Otsuka and Hikki image wise fall into the category of “good Japanese girls” so I don’t really think they could even pull it off 🤣 |

Leslie Kee is back for this tour. On Ayu’s Ig Story looked like they are shooting for something and that gives me vibes of Arena Tour 2002 theme with all those dancers, ayu wearing the same kimono in the Just The Beginning Tour which also reminds me Ayu-mix cover theme

Blah I was happy when Leslie was gone.
I really don't like his vibes. I wonder if this tour will be Japanese themed again? Or completely unrelated?

Maybe they're just shooting the cover for the DVD release?
Looks like that to me.

People will be delighted to see Timmy in his costume posing there as well.

yea I dont like Leslie because he reminds me of the drama with Mannie and most of his gay photoshoots with Ayu with all those male models during Party Queen era, thought they were ont in a good terms after that but then Ayu started using him again since 2015/2016

I don't think there is anything sexual about covers like LOVEppears, I am... or RAINBOW and I never thought of the ropes as a symbol for a fetish. There definetely are examples of Ayu being sexualised but a cover like RAINBOW or I am...? Nudity doesn't necessarily means "sexy" and imo sexualising bodies per se is kind of... strange? |

Some of her looks have been shocking, but LOVEppears was not sexualized it was just a bold move. I think a number of the examples listed of her having a sexualized image are quite a stretch, and honestly a bit immature sounding. Yes, culturally things are quite different. Ayu is also no Koda Kumi, literally dry humping a girl's arm in her PV (no shade to KK, you do you). But this is also the same culture that frequently has idol photo books of teenage girls in bikinis and doing suggestive things - these are positioned as "cute" by are obviously also attracting older men in a not so innocent way. And yet, while these girl group members are sexualized by fans and dirty old men, almost nobody would say that their image is explicitly sexual. All of that to say that yes, Ayu DOES do things that are sexualized or draw from fetish imagery, usually in the context of performance. But it's hardly the base of her image, and she's hardly over-sexualized as compared to most of her peers. |

Ok them... I guess u guys know more than Jolin Tsai what could be considered too much skin for an Asian stsr to show on an album cover.

^ That's not what they're saying, what people are saying is that showing skin ≠ sexualization
All these posts are gonna be deleted soon because they're way out of topic, you guys better go on the Anything Goes thread if u want to keep this conversation going.

I think the problem is that Ayu is sexualized by other people, even if that is not her intention. The Loveppears photo is not sexual but the viewer sexualizes it because Ayu is a woman showing skin.

^^Usually she shows skin while playing the kawaii cheerleader/kitten maid/sexy bunny/school girl. Aside from the girls from AKB48 being way younger (what makes it creepy af) they are pretty much playing the sam3 troopes. Either that or she shows in lingerie whipping people.
^Why are you so sure she wasn't sexualizing it herself? Also, I believe she herself commented on the Duty outfit. And I'm not saying that to point "how shameful" Ayu is or whatever. I just don't get people complaining about Timmy's outfits (that are picked up by Ayu) for showing skin or being "unclassy" when Timmy usually isn't on a level of undress Ayu doesn't put off frequently. |

If you guys don't see fetish in plenty of ayu's costumes and themes, gosh, you need to access xvideos more often.
--- I was wondering something, and only you guys who have been to a concert in Japan can answer me haaha: do people sing along every song like we do in America/Europe? Or do we have to behave? Cause I wanna go, and wanna go crazy singing to every single word of it, and I don't want to be taken out by the security hahaha |

Perhaps it's others who need to access xvideos LESS often.

About the concert: I really won't give a damn. As long as they don't take me out of the venue, I'm okay with passing a loud foreigner image. Hahaha |
