back to Ayu. She said this person her tour manager? @A2O0829

I don't drink nor do i party....300 euros a month is REALLY little and i need to survive on that....considering i give half away for rent....this stuff would be no use for me really, i can't really spend money on music even if i want to, the ability to participate in the ticket lotteries is also pointless for me. Ayu's diaries aren't that interesting and it's not exclusive if she speaks about new releases, cuz they, you know, will eventually be announced anyways. So really, it's kind of a waste of money.
Also i always thought we are all on Team Ayu , aren't we all her fans after all?

I had a friend who was a member of DEARS - GACKT's official fan club , and she was also a member of Miyavi's too, you know what she did without any reason? she gave me her log ins to both. I was completely shocked. People always would get mad red about sharing that stuff.

I think i would share stuff as well. I mean what's the fun of being excited about something when you are the only person who knows about it?


Anyway. She really is looking younger than ever before!:love

"who will spend money on this ****" is opposite meaning from "I don't have money / not interested" and I will never respect it.
Money is money and fanclub is one of the way to get them. Of course it's not so much. As artist ayu need to sell herself in different ways -> to recieve money -> to spend it and be able to do what she wants to. And I don't mean luxury life, I mean recording and shooting, etc

Glad to see how many pics she's been sharing online. She's cute. :3

BlackSilence 7th April 2015 11:34 PM

isn't she always? lol

I'm a bit confused here...is it me who's not respecting those that spend money on that stuff or are you not respecting people who don't do that? please elaborate, cuz now i'm confused lol

But seriously, I mean unless you have the funds to go to japan to see her live and for that reason you would want to get better seats and access to the fan club lottery, or you often would want to get FC editions of things from the official shop with cheap gifts attached, there's really not much special about being in it..i mean that's all the use you can actually get out of being in FC..*shrugs*

Before my journey with Japanese music, I hadn't heard a lot of fan-clubs for western artists. I knew there were fan-clubs for boygroups in the 90's, but nowadays are there fan-clubs with the Western artists?



Sorry, if that doesn't make sense, lol. Pre-Inter English.

Her diaries are translated and have exclusive photos, there are exclusive videos that are not on her YouTube channel like A-nation Singapore making of, there's exclusive online magazine, there are exclusive wallpapers. You can write to Ayu and TeamAyu staff to leave some sort of feedback. There's also a fact that you are supporting the artist which is the main reason of this fanclub in the first place.
For me personally it's enough to join.

I really don't get why TA even bothers making things like galleries "TA Only", when it can just be shared digitally, anyway. Things like special CDs and lotteries make more sense, to me anyway. I don't really care too much for galleries, way. Probably just more pictures of Ayu doing yoga, anyway.

AyUmIXx 8th April 2015 05:37 AM

even though pics from TA-only spread but TA-Only can still able to feel the exclusive-ness from lotteries, the magazines, the goods..u can't spread/share those, i mean you can have the actual things. TA still has benefits. though i have not yet joined TA because some reasons. i wish i could someday.

I would disagree that it's pointless for everyone. For us, who go to her concerts and live far away from Japan this means that we don't have to find and pay for the middle-men or use the expensive re-seller shops, but can get the concert tickets at regular prices and win some good seats. Plus we are able to get TA versions of the releases.

Also the blog is not always about the new releases and it's now being translated into English as well. $30 a year is around $2.5 a month which is something nearly everyone can afford. I am fine with sharing things though, but you attitude is a little bit off there...

ayu_ready? 8th April 2015 12:02 PM

I think the time I really wanted to join TeamAyu was 2001 and then 2004. And I desperately wanted to join Koda's club in 2006-2008.
I had no money back then and they weren't international. now they're international, but I've lost my spark to join, lol

there were Panasonic Ayu screensavers. I remember that well. they were before MY STORY. And wasn't there a Memorial address screensaver??? And I remember my friend shared A BALLADS screensaver with me 100000 years ago

chocopockymaster 8th April 2015 12:28 PM

omgggg those Panasonic screensavers were my life. iirc they were offered through the Panasonic website and not Team Ayu, though.

I'll also preemptively clarify that I'm not accusing anyone of being so, but the discussion seemed close to becoming that way.

@Delirium-Zer0: That things have been lost is a huge shame. I wonder why they're not available anymore...

Yeah I can understand that, I think people may assume that those in TA fanclub might think they're better fans than those who aren't, but I don't feel that way. I just don't appreciate those few members who say they can't/won't join TA but believe they show be allowed to see the TA fanclub things, if that makes sense. Or asking for fanclub content to be shared on the forums. You can't have it both ways.

Like I said, the main reason I joined in 2012 and 2014 was because I was going to Japan later that year and wanted to get tickets in the TA lotteries. If I'm not going to Japan the following year I may not renew my membership, I'm not sure. And as a side note, all 3 of my applications in 2014 were unsuccessful and I had to buy a ticket off of another member here, so being in TA does NOT guarantee you a ticket to any show. :no Which was rather depressing at the time...

DVD with rehearsal
She sat in bathroom in silence waiting for this dvd? %) I didn't understand this line from google translation %)

3 dvd... means 3 hours of show...

aliceshields 10th April 2015 06:30 AM

I think she said she's been waiting for the rehearsal DVDs but they didn't, so while waiting she thinking of having bath first, but then those rehearsal DVDs arrived at the moment she set the bathtub with hot water... (Pardon my lousy translation)

Linza-mo 10th April 2015 06:37 PM

"That's not me!!! 私にはTAがあるのでインスタはやりませんm(__)m RT @ayuangel_news: Ayu is back on instagram ! https://t.co/ZtgiMU92jj "
