Her voice gave out during the performance then? Poor thing, she's probably working too hard.

aw that kinda sucks Tasking. alot of people seem to be complaining when they have only sent like 5 messages. do people not understand how twitter works? when you have that many messages come at once, u will only see the ones that arrive that split second u look. u might be like one second off

Stephen fry has like a million followers and I still try to tweet him without getting upset or offended when there is no reply XD

They don't understand what we're going through, now that we actually have a chance of talking to her in English.

Exactly.

You can be born and live in Japan, but if you don't have the money, there's no way for you to join TA or attend her concerts either. Without all that, you might as well have been born somewhere else for all the benefits you'll be getting. Being Japanese doesn't mean you live in ayu heaven.

[AyUmIXx]

but most Japanese fans can go to the concerts, the possibility is still higher than the ppl outside Japan, no?
it's the majority, I'm not saying ALL JAPANESE were born rich...
but they're lucky enough to be able to watch Ayu's concerts every year, unlike we all here..we can only watch through DVDs..they either to think like, "oh well, i don't have much money for this month's concert, then I'll just attend next month..", there are 3 months in a row tour going on.. they can choose when they want to go..until they have the money~ i believe that Japanese ppl are very hard working..
as for the international fans.. how? we need to think a lot of things..buying the plane tickets, the concert tickets, accomodations, and etc moreover FOR ME, JAPAN is very expensive~
ah~ as for the concert tickets, i think the concert tix in Japan is much cheaper than outside Japan's concerts even if the tickets are from scaplers~

I don't want to argue more..i'm sorry~

But if you mean what people said to me, in addition to me getting tons of followers (which I don't mind), I had people asking me if I knew her personally over and over and over, despite my Tweets saying the contrary. I've had TA members angrily asking stuff like "HOW DO YOU KNOW AYU?! I WANT TO KNOW!" I've even had people asking me to Tweet her to tell her to Tweet them. Like here, I've also had people telling me to stop Tweeting her to give everyone else a chance, but really, I'm Tweeting just as much as you guys are. I can't control who Ayu responds to.

I learned over the course of today to just deal with it.

honestly... as Oji-i-san said I think you are reacting bad to everything... how can those tweets be haters? I don't see the hate.. they are only asking you if you know her, because they saw you got tweets! Jorge has lots too and seems that everyone is nice... and in japan didn't have any problems... he's a little celebrity that has to stop and take pics with ayu.fans now LOL

Hating would be: "you stupid, stop talking with ayu because you don't know her" Or sth liek this... you are making a big deal of nothing imo...

I also got followers and people asking me things, and for now I'm talking nicely with japanese fans ^^... even in AHS someone asked me if I knew Ayu personally! And also people from Spain asking me to tell Ayu things like I did with Jorge... You see... not only japanese do that... Just answer back... ^^

And for me, I'm not saying you to stop tweeting her, it's just that if you are so sad and upset with people tweeting you then stop tweeting Ayu.. it's that simple. If not, deal with it.

And don't we have it better? Only one or a few people have to pay for a TA membership on AHS in order for ALL of us to get her messages. I'd say we have it better than TA members.

LOL that's quite... that's the most and big unfair thing of everything it's going on... in that I'm with TA, sorry. XDD even if I'm one of those who share TA things if I can... That's why I created the post to explain that with money and CC everyone can join TA... because what we do with TA material is really unfair... xDD It's not cool to see those pics, messages, info you are paying for in websites XDDD


_________


and yes.. well, see... we are both lucky in different things ^^

in Japan they have Ayu there, buy her CD's without problens, can go to her concerts only paying the normal price... etc...

here, when Ayu came to europe, we coudl talk with her, have pics with ayu in a way Japanese never could, and will never be able to do this way.

^^

we have to stop hating... they and us... I really don't know how we could make TA and japanese know we can both be "friends" and love ayu in the same way XD Maybe just stop talking about it... they will get used to twitter and that's it LOL It's like when a 5 years old kid have a brother and think her/his parents will pay more attention to the baby than her/him XD

I think that everyone is just reacting very badly to this.

If you really want to go for an ayu concert, nothing can stop you. Plane tickets, accommodation etc, in this age, everything can be settled online, you don't even need to leave your house to plan an entire trip. Yea, it costs $$, but it's easy to do.

Besides, all these applies for the Japanese fans too. ayu's just touring in major cities, so someone living in their little hometown still has to travel to watch a concert. Many Japanese fans actually come to the concert venue towing luggage bags. Honestly, I feel that it's not easy for them too, at least not as easy as we foreign fans tend to think.

I'm not arguing with you. I'm a foreign fan myself, I understand how it feels like to have ayu so far away. But yea, having come to live in Japan, I seriously don't feel any closer to ayu. I don't see her in real life, I get updates only because I pay to be in TA (which people at AHS are getting for free), I haven't won any chances to attend any TV performances, my concert tickets won through TA are always at the back of the venue so I sell them off and buy better tickets at jacked-up prices anyway.

In essence, nothing's changed for me. All those benefits that international fans keep tagging onto Japanese fans... Seriously, how many TA fans are actually lucky enough to get all these benefits anyway? Not many...

So honestly, there's nothing to be so bitter about.

eh~ when Ayu go to asian countries, like HK or Shanghai or Taiwan..
no one could go near her too~
like when I was also there in Shanghai, Ayu was just few steps away from me, but i couldn't even see her face lol~~ oh well i think Asian countries fans also suffer the same like the Japanese fans do~ can't even get near to her..
and when Ayu went to Bali for photoshoots, not even a fan could find her, even my friend who lives in Bali.. Ayu didn't even mention about Bali in her TA Messages though so we couldn't know what happen too~ but some pics that proved she was in Bali that made us confirmed that she really was there, but it was too late~ T__T
moreover, Bali is the part of the country where I live, just too bad I'm not living in that island T__T, my country is like divided into several small and big islands..

so i guess, i really envy western fans the most, because you guys have the most luck to meet with Ayu and personally meet her, talk to her and etc..
a 3rd country like us will never have that kind of opportunity T__T
that's why i kinda think that with twitter, it'll make us easier to communicate to her.. and i'm kinda sad that TA members are kind of insecure of Ayu having twitter..

hiks..sorry for my rant..

Misa-chan, well, being living in the 3rd country like I am right now, of course those concert tickets, plane tickets are expensive, moreover, the Japanese money if converted to my country's money, it'll cost a WHOLE lot~ that's why I need to think TWICE/THRICE to even plan of going to Japan, it could need years and years for me to go...
the thing is, even though, the Japanese fans are living in outside small town and go to the city to watch Ayu's concerts, that's not so expensive to be compared with the fans who fly over there..
of course it's easy if it's just said like that.. i know everything is easy, if i have money and time to go to Japan, i certainly will do.. i don't find it diffcult, i still have some friends who're living in Japan who will certainly help me with stuff..the thing is.. I need the right timing to go, the MONEY.. it'll need amount of money, and i won't just go to Japan just to watch Ayu's concert, I also need to go around other cities even though, my aim is to see Ayu's concert..
as ppl who're living in Japan, they can just think of going or not going.. it's like, at the beginning, i thought of not going to Ayu's concert, but as time goes by, all the sudden, i feel like i want to go.. but ppl who're living outside Japan, can they think like that? like want to go, so then just go..no right? we need extra plans and stuff.. if not enough money then we can't go anymore.. and by that.. the opportunity of seeing her lives will just vanish~ realize of how the time flies real fast these days..

oh well, that's only my rant, I don't hate Japanese fans, I do love of course lol~~
I just think being a fan of the idols from your own country will always make you more special and easier..
and the thing that Japanese fans can't go near the artist because they respect their idols more?

sighh~~ oh well, it's life though..

Unfortunately, there will forever be haters, but if we stop discussing the matter maybe there will be a few less problems.

And thanks again aura~ for sending the thank you letter through TA

[AyUmIXx]

welll..
maybe we should just stop this..
it's getting sadden and tiring...
A WORLD IS ONE, that should be it

Yeah, I understand what you're saying. It's definitely easier if you're Japanese, but just don't forget that things aren't always going 100% smoothly for them too.

Don't worry, if we all work hard enough, we'll get to see ayu someday.

[AyUmIXx]

^ yea that's right..
I just think being a Japanese is much easier than any of us who're living outside Japan~ and that's obvious..
well~~~~~ just have to accept our fate hahahaha ~
