Ayu's Twitter/Weibo - Discussion #35

[chocopockymaster]

I definitely had an AT2003~2004 screensaver at one point and I don't see it on the list in the TA archive.

i joined to TA because i wanted to buy TA versions of CDs but i'm not collecting her stuff anymore so it's kinda pointless for me to be a member anymore. i don't even remember to go read her diary entries

she doesn't share that much on TA imo. she shares same things on twitter or in her facebook account

[AyuGAME]

she really looks so young lately...like in her 25s...she doesn't look 36 at all

[Delirium-Zer0]

There have at least been screensavers for A BEST, I am..., ayu-mi-x 4, Voyage, No way to say, and ARENA TOUR 2003-2004 that I know of. On the A BEST screensaver download page on the TeamAyu preview, it said "Ayumi Hamasaki Screensaver version 4.0" which probably means there were screensavers for three other releases before that.

EDIT: Just did some digging... there were screensavers for A BALLADS and H as well.

There were also wallpapers from the A BEST commercial shoot (at least one of those photos was used in beatfreak magazine for their A BEST feature). There was an official wallpaper of Ayu's santa-outfit photo from 2001.

There are also a bunch of behind-the-scenes photo galleries and Today's Photos that aren't on the site anymore.

"who will spend money on this ****" is opposite meaning from "I don't have money / not interested" and I will never respect it.
Money is money and fanclub is one of the way to get them. Of course it's not so much. As artist ayu need to sell herself in different ways -> to recieve money -> to spend it and be able to do what she wants to. And I don't mean luxury life, I mean recording and shooting, etc

[BlackSilence]

isn't she always? lol

Spoiler:

I'm a bit confused here...is it me who's not respecting those that spend money on that stuff or are you not respecting people who don't do that? please elaborate, cuz now i'm confused lol

But seriously, I mean unless you have the funds to go to japan to see her live and for that reason you would want to get better seats and access to the fan club lottery, or you often would want to get FC editions of things from the official shop with cheap gifts attached, there's really not much special about being in it..i mean that's all the use you can actually get out of being in FC..*shrugs*

Her diaries are translated and have exclusive photos, there are exclusive videos that are not on her YouTube channel like A-nation Singapore making of, there's exclusive online magazine, there are exclusive wallpapers. You can write to Ayu and TeamAyu staff to leave some sort of feedback. There's also a fact that you are supporting the artist which is the main reason of this fanclub in the first place.
For me personally it's enough to join.

Glad to see how many pics she's been sharing online. She's cute. :3

[adantatu2]

Before my journey with Japanese music, I hadn't heard a lot of fan-clubs for western artists. I knew there were fan-clubs for boygroups in the 90's, but nowadays are there fan-clubs with the Western artists?



Sorry, if that doesn't make sense, lol. Pre-Inter English.

I really don't get why TA even bothers making things like galleries "TA Only", when it can just be shared digitally, anyway. Things like special CDs and lotteries make more sense, to me anyway. I don't really care too much for galleries, way. Probably just more pictures of Ayu doing yoga, anyway.

[AyUmIXx]

even though pics from TA-only spread but TA-Only can still able to feel the exclusive-ness from lotteries, the magazines, the goods..u can't spread/share those, i mean you can have the actual things. TA still has benefits. though i have not yet joined TA because some reasons. i wish i could someday.

[ayu_ready?]

I think the time I really wanted to join TeamAyu was 2001 and then 2004. And I desperately wanted to join Koda's club in 2006-2008.
I had no money back then and they weren't international. now they're international, but I've lost my spark to join, lol

there were Panasonic Ayu screensavers. I remember that well. they were before MY STORY. And wasn't there a Memorial address screensaver??? And I remember my friend shared A BALLADS screensaver with me 100000 years ago

[chocopockymaster]

omgggg those Panasonic screensavers were my life. iirc they were offered through the Panasonic website and not Team Ayu, though.
