I don't think we should interpret Red Line as just for the official TA. Because, by being her fans and supporting her in the small ways we can, aren't we part of a Team Ayu? Couldn't we interpret it as a thank-you to her fanbase and not just the fanclub?

I think Ayu is well aware of her other fans and their support and I don't think she's saying "TA" to be malicious. To say "~for my fans~" doesn't have quite the same ring, right? Calling it a team makes it seem really close knit, like everyone is supporting each other, not just Ayu. Saying "fans" gives the impression of thousands of people alone (in comparison).

Even if I'm not part of the fanclub, I can think of myself as "Team Ayu", because that's the "team" that I support. I'm not "Team Hikki" or "Team Kuu". I'm Team Ayu!

Well, that's how I feel. I think I can enjoy the song better if I think of it in this way, rather than, "Well, this song isn't for me."
