ayu's twitter thread, part 12

[Bigtop]

Here's an idea: when posting TA messages (in separate threads), I advise you put them under spoilers, just in case our TA members want to see in TA site itself rather than here at AHS.

well, i don't know that anyone cares about that, but i think the real problem is that now people are sharing DIRECTLY ayu's words from TA. before there was a generally agreed upon rule that no one would post the direct Japanese text from a TA entry, but now that they're in English things are different.

for example, if you go to Google and search for "hey my lobely guys" you'll easily find several different places where TA entries are being directly posted. i don't know that we want AHS showing up in those searches honestly.

then again, i don't know that Ayu or Avex would go out searching for this sort of thing, or that they would do anything if they did, but Ayu might not like it either way. i wonder if things are posted behind spoilers if they will not show up in Google searches?

Hmm... I don't know if today's security are still vulnerable, especially when I'm not a TA member and my perspective is leaning more away from Ayu and towards other artists, particularly artists who need a bit of a boost...

I think ayu doesn't want people posting the info from TA straight out of it, but I don't think she minds if people comment about her messages/photos through Twitter and other ways

Hmm, in the past, with Japanese entries, I found that the TA members don't discuss what ayu wrote on TA directly on Twitter. Or even if they did, ayu probably chose not to reply to them so it won't show up. Since TA has a "send ayu a message" function, I think we should utilize it instead of going through Twitter. I guess that's what the Japanese do to tell ayu what they think about her TA entries.

Also, most of the time there isn't much to discuss about her TA messages, unless it is about a new release, or her marriage and stuff

And I'm so glad we can send her "private" messages through TA! I sent some in English I wonder if she saw them

lol ayu just revealed her true birth name on Twitter!

It's still Hamasaki Ayumi, just with more archaic kanji.

whoa! That's so cool. For some reason, I never thought the kanji in her family name would be different from her professional name. I either thought her name was always 浜崎あゆみ or something completely different (like the "Kurumi" floating around)

Edit 2: has anyone else tried the link Ayu was using in that tweet? My results were kind of terrible lol.

[AyUmIXx]

so it's not Kurumi Hamasaki?

As far as I know, the kanji 歩 does not have any pronunciations that sound like kurumi...

[Deibel]

^ judging by the pictures .. yeah, that seems xD

Ayu is a running vampire xD

[C+R+E+AYUMI]

vampayu..i wonder if she loves twilight as most of the world does

[Suteisi]

I thought Kurumi was the nickname she gave herself when she started as a model in her younger years ?

yes it was, i remember there were also some idol videos with ayu singing and the presenter introducing her as kurumi

[aura~]

oh~ so the kanji for Hamasaki was also different??? interesting!!

It's funny... ZIN started using that Shinmaker/whatever, Ayu did and then all japanese fans xDD I also tried doing it xdd

[Earth_maiden]

^ can someone please explain what that shinmaker thing is??

[ayuuk]

^Yeah, I wonder what shinmaker is?!

[aura~]

^it's like.. you write your name and they tell you what professions you should do, or sth like this.. of course it's for characters... but I wrote my name in romaji and told me sth too hahaha

Ayu did another thing later, but don't know what it was about... I wrote my name and they repeated the sentence "let's meet up" "let's meet up" "let's meet up" "god" "let's meet up" LOL

also, some time ago, people used this for another thing.. you wrote your name and they write the thing in your mind xD You could get like 100 characters of "MONEY" 1 for beauty 1 for evil, whatever XDD
