[TeamAyu] TeamAyu blog. 1 August 2011. "In the morning,"

[Mami-chan]

It really made me sad reading these words from Ayu... Really really sad, and I can't believe the people who are hurting her are actually her fans...
I'd like people to start thinking before speaking...

And by the way, I loved Dream ON and I've always been excited about the new collaborations!

Well, I know why Ayu have to write this message. I keep seeing people bashing her and Nao and Juno in twitter. If I were in Ayu's shoes, I would be very angry. But Ayu is still very diplomatic person and very nice. Ayu is a wonder woman , no doubt !

[BlackSilence]

honestly, she's so admirable!!
I know this thing like "We are free to speak our mind and say our oppinions" but I sometimes just wanna say to people with their oppinions "keep them to yourself for ONCE, shut up, and enjoy the music". And it's sooo not cool when fans attact other artists that their favorite chose to work with...it's really a nasty thing.... I really wish people would just shut their negativity and TRY to actually enjoy the material and songs, because no matter who the artist works with, they obviously put their heart and soul in their works. Try to appreaciate that a little bit more.

Thanks for sharing Misa-chan. Its good to hear her feelings on the matter.

[Kazeyomi]

That's why Ayu's my favorite singer. She never regret what she does.
She knew it was a huge risk, but she still take it. And she's mature enough to reply in a mature way as well to annoying stans.
But that's really sad that her a-nation just turned into such a mess, because of fans. Especially when she put so much efforts on it. I mean, that's ok to share your opinions but it's not when you start to bashing.

Thanks for sharing Misa-chan, though

After all these comments, I just can't say a thing here. I'm really quite shocked about these fan comments, those negativity; even showing up here on AHS the negativity...

I'm not sure what's going on, but is it just me, or right now something's wrong all around the world...?

I don't know but I became curious about this year's a-nation performance.

Yep. I believe from 2004 to about 2005-2006(?).

[love in music]

Great entry. I'm really glad she wrote this and I hope some immature fans will think more about their actions.

[maikaru]

I feel really happy that she accepts constructive criticism about what's happening, and that's all I wanted her to do... but we all knew she would do that, because she's Ayu! It's what she does.

What I don't understand is why people should attack those artists who appear with her? Even if I don't enjoy his voice, I don't say UN sucks or he has no talent, because obviously he does. He's not just noise. And why is it the fault of the artist if Ayu invites them to perform with her? The problem is with Ayu, not them. I don't understand those people who just attack and whatever... obviously, they are not Ayu fans.

I think you are thinking of the wrong dancer! That's Naoto~ Naoya was just a dancer in 2001 for the dome tour, right?

Naoya was also in STADIUM TOUR 2002. And I think in Greatful days PV too.

[AyuGAME]

i really admire her message
thanks for the translation...
mean a lot to me

[Bubbly]

It's just 2 songs she got with him! You got sooooooooo many songs with just her voice to chose from, so why complain about 2 out of 200?

[jbrat2219]

Nice to know Ayu fans once again do not know how to behave. How old are the fans who made those nasty comments? 6 years old? Grow up and learn how to voice your opinions like a mature individual. If you cannot do that, shut your mouth or handcuff yourself away from the keyboard.

I'm glad Ayu voiced her opinion on the matter. I really had no idea it was that bad. *****ing on a forum is one thing but to harass Naoya and JUNO and express rude comments to Ayu is another.

[kendelle]

I call people like that "S---lords", do entitled, rude and arrogant, nothing they contribute is positive. People like that can go jump.. Ayu is her own woman and can make her own choice about who she works with and what on. Self righteous "fans" should let her do her own thing. Don't like a song? Go listen to one of the other 230 she's released!

AMEN

Well, i'm afraid some people takes this too seriously, they don't know how to fill their voids and internet it's the only spot where they can spit their ********. This is a clear sign how insane and sick some people is.

Anyway, i wanted to remark Kendelle's comment because i've stated several times i no longer enjoy what ayu does, and i have my full right to not like it, just the way Ayumi has the full right to do whatever she's in the mood to do. Luckily, and this i something i would like to remind you, there are THOUSANDS OF ARTISTS OUT THERE, who work ON SO MANY GENDERS,and where you can find anything you like. lately i've been listening much more to Bonnie Pink and Namie Amuro, so i don't see why there should be a fuss out of this, who cares?

The problem, now, is explain to this people who spends their time insulting and bashing others because they just don't agree. And with all due respect, some people here on the forum reacts the same way some of those twitter stans do,attacking other artists (here or on last.fm) with the excuse they can say whatever they want since there is freedom of speech and blah blah blah. Is this the way you want to use freedom? seriously, it's pathetic and hypocrit. I hope these people i refer to now can understand how comments might have so hurtful and painful effects on others.

Anyway, i really like how Ayumi is approaching this problem, always respectful and calm (tho clearly hurted) i'm really sorry for her, but i can see she can definitely act maturely, so she'll move on quickly
