But that said, yeah if they just feel like she's abandoned her career in a general sense, I don't think their concerns are unfounded, especially among older fans. Her workaholism was a big part of who she was, and her hands-on approach was a BIG part of her appeal, it was talked up in the media a LOT. Even i'm having a hard time getting used to her current approach, and honestly I'd be lying if I said I thought the quality of some of her work wasn't suffering because of it... but to feel like Ayu is abandoning her "ibasho" is really really silly.

Seriously? they have no reason to be hostile because she's communicating in english, literally every once in a blue moon. Most of her posts on TA/SNS safe for weibo are in Japanese. They should understand that she has a sizable international fan base, especially for a Japanese act who more closed off when it comes to international promo.
I understand feeling abandoned, because for a while I felt like that too. She's not on TV, she doesn't promote like she used to, and she seems more closed off, but even her international fans felt that. Feels like misdirected anger tbh.
