Then... why did she (or they) fill her twitter profile with a 16th anniversary theme? :laugh

Shes finally had a nice long rest and had time to review some things :P

Because maybe ayu and avex lurk AHS and they see what things us foreign fans would like her to change or do better, so they wanted to upgrade the anniversary to something better than the 15th one. ;)

^ Haha maybe, who knows~ :laugh

I think that in the near future they will expand TA overseas due to what ayu has been doing lately :)

Was my first thought too.

This one fanclub I'm in (not for a Japanese artist though) does weekly live Q&A chats through Ustream, but it's obviously private/filtered for fanclub members only. So I imagine it might be something like that? I don't know the specifics about it, but you basically need to log in to the fanclub site to be able to access the chat.

This is so cool, though! What an interesting revamp.

TA got a message a few weeks ago that the update will be coming in October.

The personal item give away thing is the most intriguing. She has given out things through out the course of her career, but TA only is quite rare nowadays.

I just resigned with TA this month, so excited about this new update! :luv2

Just going back to an English translation for the diaries would be amazing imho I'm really looking forward to the upgrade coming....

Now, if they'd only open up membership worldwide...

I wish they did. There's no a and b cost now, from now on membership costs 3200 yen. Those who apply now won't receive any novelties, magazines, posters and greeting cards.

New TA site is awesome^^
They have an online TA magazine, does that mean the normal TA Mag won´t be anymore? That whould be sad.
But the rest I love, seems video diary is back ^^ And I allready entered the gift giveaway *_*

Is the new TA format only availabe for A course members?

Those who payed before October will receive several TeamAyu magazines over the year. Maybe after that they'll be online only, I don't know. I think I won't be getting physical member card:-( I wonder where I can view digital one they wrote about.

I payed before october. mhhh but that whould be rly sad, I loved TA mags ._.
But maybe that´s the reason they only have one kind of membership now that is as cheap as the B grade before.

I think maybe they'll switch for magazine pre-order thing for those who really need it. I was wondering if it's possible to pay for tickets by credit card. I really want to participate in lottery myself for the first time :-)

Does anyone know what does the "ayuセレクトアイテムプレゼント" gift item select thingy is and what do you do with it? Do you select one of the times or anything? How does the whole thing go?

I love the new website!! :luv2 I re-joined in August so I'm hoping they'll send me the latest team ayu mag.

I think it´s a gift that ayu selects and then all TA member can enter for winning that gift.
This month it is some kind of beauty item, body oil or something like that, 3 member can win it.
