to be honest, put yourself in the TA members' shoes. if you are the one who paid 6000yen a year for her TA site-updates/pics.... but others can see her updates for free. not to mention that ayu can reply to you. in TA, you can only send her a msg, but she cannot reply.

would you feel fair?

TA fans might not just be feeling bad about international fans. let's not forget that there are other japanese who are non TA members too, i feel that TA members are feeling bad that EVERYONE has a chance to get a reply from ayu, and faster updates. she tweets more then writing a new entry in TA.

seriously, stop bashing the poor TA members, ayu treasure them too, and if more uproar is cause, ayu might stop tweeting.

have anyone thought what could happen if things got out of hand????

international fans are important, but without her japan fans, ayu won't get where she is now, Without the support of them in her debut years, do you think ayu will be this sucessful? Without popularity, she will have lesser chances, be it in the news/live performance/concerts/endorsement....and tie in promotion.

Ask yourself again, how did you get to know about ayu? mst of us know about ayu through the internet, news article, endorsement or tie in promotion(like Inuyasha) how do you think she gain chances to these?

Because of her popularity in japan! Japan is a huge industry and the japanese fans are important to her, whether you are happy or not. Without them, you might not even know ayu.

Therefore i don't see any reason why she should forget her roots and make her TA fans mad.
Oh, japanese who are thinking of joining TA might now think twice, and current TA member might not renew their membership, as they can save the money since there's twitter.
In the end, avex and ayu will earn lesser money and avex might ask ayu to stop tweeting. so who will suffer in the end?????

Then slowly, in other to please both sides, ayu will spend more time on the internet-tweeting and updating her TA blog(so no one feel left out)
hello!!!!!!! ayu needs her rest and sleep! she's already sleeping at 5 am since she started her twitter! i'm worried for her health!!!! I want a healthy ayu, thank you very much.

so stop whining people.
don't just think of the present, think of the future and the consequences. (^_^)

ayu start her twitter acount to communicate with us, so just be happy about it and TREASURE it
