And she talks about TA as if her fanbase is based ONLY there because she's always bragging about them. Which I think she's being rather closed minded. No offense to any fan but I'm sad to say but lately she's sounding self-centered and spoiled, as if she's ignoring the rest of the world. Which is sad when in the past she was so down to earth and I loved her honest. |
In Japan, if you like an artist, and you are a fan of the artist, you will most likely enter the group of the artist, for example TA. For example, usually, TA people can read the diary, and read some new news that no one else can read, and they are supposed to be the only ones who can read the diary, which is her deepest inner thoughts. She would feel connection with them, because they write to her, read her thoughts, and accept her, so she wants to thank them for that.
I dont really know how this makes her selfish or spoiled, because I think thats a great thing for her to do. She doesnt want fame as she said before, so its very logical that she doesnt seek out the entire entertainment world to be her fans.
You have to think about it in sort of Japanese cultural concepts. If you love an artist in Japan, you should join their fanclub, because when you joining, you become part of a very large group who love the same thing, and Japanese loves groups for the most part, and sharing their hobbies.
