And I'm quite sure it's legal there are other services like this one.

exactly ^^ You use it like if it were your "real address" in Japan, but Tenso will get the items ^^

With this the only "extra things/payments" we have to do for not being Japanese are paying Tenso for service+shippings and wait for the items to arrive a little more than japanese ^^

I think of it like if Tenso was YesAsia or CDJapan, they have my CD's, DVD's, poster's, whatever, and they make me pay shipping fees, like CDJapan ^^

Yes, B can't acces that beautiful TA website... B is only worth if you live in Japan. B is for people that doesn't care of nice websites, ayus message, clips, screensavers, extras like sending ayu messages for her b'day, or send questions for the MC... and they only want the pre-concert tickets, the TA mags, TA gifts with CD's, be able to go to TV shows... the more "phisical" part of being TA, you know XDD? So for us, there's no point on being B, if we are not in Japan.

i got a mail like that before.

what do you mean? and email for the mags?? don't understand sorry -____-

in TA website, if you are already a member, in the part they talk about the album or the TA extra gifts, there's a littke pink button. This is to go to TA shop in mu-mo ^^ you have to write your number and birth date and you can already buy ayu items being TA ^^

That link is only for thos releases that have TA extras, or things that are only in TA (like that umbrella in 2008 LOL) But for the other ayu merchandise or CD you have to go to the normal mu-mo site ^^

really?? I made a registration like if I were from Russia, Moskva (I serched a street in google maps, a phone number from a hostel in Moskva and the zip code for the city LOL) and they let me, now I would have to put the CC info... O.o

[Suteisi]

So there are 2 types of registration for TA? Type A and Type B?

The one you got walking.proud, is type A? How much does it cost in yen? It's 1 membership per year right?

Sorry if this was already asked~

[aura~]

^yeah, 2 types. And yes, A is the one I have, that is the only one that can log in into the website with ayu's diary and so ^^

the price is for 1 year of membership, and for A is 6000Y (but they charge 200Y as fee) and B 4000Y (+200Y) so...

6200Y = 70 CAD ^^ (50€)
4200Y = 47 CAD (34€)

But as I explained in my post above yours to Picaflor, it's not worth to pay for B ^^

[Suteisi]

That's quite cheap for a membership to a fan club!!

My sister was in a fan club a while ago and it was around 50$/year but they didn't get magazines like Team Ayu~

I will look into it tonight. I think I will try to register n____n 'Sounds exciting! I love TA Mags!

[aura~]

^yeah, for me it's not so expensive, it's not only TA mags and member card, also the extra gifts with her releases, and if I were in Japan, all the concert tickets and go to TV shows thing... at the end it's SOOO worth 50€! XD

[Suteisi]

Yes yes definitely n____n

So, you register with Tenso. They give you a japanese address. You register with Team Ayu. It takes 1 month for the TA card to get received. And after that with TA Mags, they will receive them for you at no cost. You will only have to pay for shipping of TA card and mags, etc.

I think I got it all down now n___n''

Thanks so much for all of this~ It's awesome of you!

[OyTony]

walking.proud you are awesome! : D
After this we can open another poll with "are you a TA member?" XD

[Suteisi]

I wonder if Team Ayu managers will see a big influx of new members coming in the next few weeks! XD

Everyone at AHS registering!! Go go go!!! Hahaha~

They're gonna be like "Woaw new members suddenly! All with a similar address... Hmm...."

[SunshineSlayer]

So I'm now finally an official TA member. Of course I was going to do this anyways since I just moved to Japan - so I'm not using a middle man but my own address. This method that you posted is great though. Let's see how long it takes Avex to realize the loop hole and if they'll care or not.

[y_nathz]

Thanks Laura !!!!!
I'm so joining this once I'm old enough to have a credit card !!!

[aura~]

^you're welcome =)

Haha yeah... well, with so many members I don't think they will notice a same address for some (30-40 maybe? more?)... moreover... It's not written anywhere that we can't use "other persons" address to sing up ^^ hehehe bah... it's more money for them XD

yesterday I read it for the first time in Ayu's official ste:

5.国外からの登録に関しては、郵便物を国内で受け取れる方に限らせていただきます。

that for registrations from overseas they only accept if we give a japanese address...

so here you have it avex ^^

[Mirrorcle World ～longing future～]

Thank you so much! I'm going to do this when i have credit card

Doesn't saying that imply that if we're overseas and would like to register, they want us to do something like this tenso site? I don't see why they'd mind, they are, after all, getting more money from this! And by the links of it, they're gonna get quite a bit of money. Many people are signing up!

However I do remember there being something like Lacus said, that before you receive the mags, membership card etc you have to confirm your physical mail address. I don't know if its still that way, but I do remember something like that in the past. Meaning that you have to actually reply to something they send you before you will actually receive anything. Which means that actually this method will not work unless you don't mind paying just to access the website but not get any goods in the mail. I guess I will find out soon since I registered with my own personal address here in Japan.

[aura~]

Well... I got my membership card, and never had any email to comfirm it, only one saying: we are gonna send you the member card in the following days. And then my first middleman got it. And Hatix got the member card a month ago with Tenso ^^ Maybe he, or Misa-chan that is a TA member but is living in Japan now can comfirm us that ^^

yeah, exaclty, if they said that, this is the only way we can do it... because the 4 point before thats entence say that everything in TA is in Japanese... so it's like... Ok if you want to pay, but all is in japanese... XD

[Miltonic]

im about to order cd only through mumo but im a bit worried so they send to tenso and then tenso will notify that they go it and then I pay again for them to ship it to me right?

For membership cards and buying CDs/stuff through mu-mo, there is no need to confirm your address. But I'm not very sure about the TA magazines though, I've yet to receive any. Apparently you need to be a member for at least half a year before you qualify to start receiving magazines...

[powpowparn]

This is really good. I might join when I've paid my credit card off! Thanks a lot ^_^

Would it be OK if I post this at another forum? I think it could benefit a lot of Ayu fans not in Japan and of course I'd credit you
