Not trying to be mean to the TA members, but they should be greatful to have Ayu in Japan, and not fuss over her tweeting in english, and having little conversations with international fans, it's kind of a makeup for us international fans who can't go to her concerts as often as japanese fans.

She's been handling the conflicts very well, and I respect her more because of it. I guess it's because she can see both sides of the issue. Japanese fans and foreign fans get very different things, but what they each want is exactly what they don't have. Japanese fans want personal recognition from ayu, foreign fans want to attend concerts and have ayu in their country. Both sides have their advantages.
I think each side should ask themselves if they're willing to give up what they have if they can get what they want. Japanese fans should think if they want ayu to be, say, based totally in America with concerts and TA and everything there, but she comes to Japan infrequently and gets to have close personal meetups with fans. And foreign fans should think if we want ayu to be international, but we lose the close personal contact we have with her.
In the end, I'm guessing both sides won't want to give up what they already have, and hopefully we all learn to be happy and thankful for what ayu has given each side.
