You know, i'm, and we all are, aware that we won't have most of the avantages you have, and even though i'm paying the same as you do.

I see very rude and unfair to come here and say that to give the chance to international fans to be ta members is not correct, when it has been a dream come true for all of us to join even if not being able to get some things.

I think it's pretty obvious that no one is going to ask for appearing in a pv if they can't. I also think it's unfair that so many japanese people buy ayu tickets only to sell them with a higher price, and that also takes out possibilities to real fans to attend.

And seriously, how many of us will be there in ta now? 100 at the end? Out of 70.000 members...

Really, that comment was unnecessary.

But hey guys, yeah don't take out japanese fans chances of anything, or they may kill us. We shouldn't buy any of RnRC cd-dvd, because people in japan will have less chances to get a handwritten lyrics sheet!

And if you are sure japanese would never do that, why we would? I can't see the logic, sorry.

And still I find your comment out of place. It sounds as if we should feel bad for joining ta.

Edit: LOL your edition of comment makes of crazy. Well, anyway, even if that wasn't your intention I still don't like how you first said it and don't understand why we would take out chances to other fans and they wouldn't.

such as PV filming or live show filming. because all you have to do is fill in the info and your entered to be in the draw for either one, but if you're selected and can't go because you're not in Japan, that's one less person in Japan that CAN go.

same with tickets to concerts. Not everyone in TA gets concert tickets, and if they're given to someone who doesn't live in Japan and has no intention of buying a plane ticket and going, it's less people in Japan who are able and willing to go.

granted i don't think everyone will do this, but i definitely think it'll happen :-\

hmm....walking proud, from his posts, i understand what he means, i think you missunderstand it.

he's concern is when people enter those lucky draw things, but being unable to go, is not fair to other members who can go.

Being an un-native japanese speaker, they might not know what exactly is the campaign or the email that TA send them is for. Most of the online translator are unreliable, and being unable to understand/read japanese might cause missunderstanding.
Some members might just enter it, thinking it's to get some special gifts from TA.

Or they thought they could enter the concert lottery draw, and if they get a good seat, they can sell for a good price. yes...not knowing that they have to pick up the tickets by themselves, like you a lot assume that tickets can be mail out.

2 years ago, i know a friend who do that, thinking that being in TA means he will get a good seat(coz he doesn't really understand japanese). But he found out that he have to pick up the ticket by himself in japan and the seats are not confirm, so he end up wasting his chance.

well, he got a nice scolding from me for a month.
