Ayu fanbase is the most critic with her, always complaining or just pointing things which are not really that important. For example, I saw in FB the picture with the lenses from two days ago but it was retouched removing the lenses and the first thing I thought was: why? Why waste your time to retouch a random IG picture just because you don't like? I totally understand why she left Twitter or closed comments section on IG. Ayufans are her worst enemy. I don't see other fanbases being so critic and annoying with stuff.

For example Namie (no shade, I love her and I went to her Finally tour which it was beyond amazing) usually delivers the same type of show, even with a similar outfit and I don't see Namie fans criticising every detail. They support her at the point that her face is now literally flying over Japan. Tell me about fame.

Instead of complaining about how this or that tour is, some people should appreciate that Ayu, who is half deaf, is still touring.

I've noticed the same. And I don't mean people who don't like her show or her recent music or music videos, I mean people who complain about... everything. Her make up is bad, her hair looks stupid, she's using contacts first time in months how dare she, her boob looks weird, she looks fat, this article of clothing is disgusting, even her twitter banners that her fans made are under criticism... It's just, everything? Every little detail I don't even notice? And even if I did, it wouldn't even cross my mind to complain about it, since it's so irrelevant and petty. But people here act like that haircolor is the end of her career. Her cheeks look puffier than usual, I don't know how to sleep at night knowing that fact. Oh, and here she edited her pictures to look thinner, great, another night's sleep out of the window!

I've never ever seen any other fandom act that way towards their idol/s, criticize every single inch about a picture of her, about what little she does on social media (remember when she was criticized for talking with her fans? Yeah, that too, now she isn't and she gets criticized anyway). That's usually what the haters and trolls do. What's the deal with that? I genuinely do not understand.

Max Matsuura replied to a few other tweets about ayu, but i don't understand them

Now the whole conversation is going down hill. We are back to the "good Ayu fans vs evil Ayu fans" battle. Ayu's fandom also seems to have some of the most self righteous fans as well.

Andrenekoi · #**244** 16th May 2018, 11:19 PM

^Well, once some people around here said people who enjoyed her recent releases were trolls trying to sabotage her career by making she release crap.

It has been worst.

Her Twitter banners are brutal though, imo

I think it comes down to phrasing. Like, I’ve seen people complain, not just about Ayu but about Kuu too, saying similar things about her. She’s “lazy” and using amerures to do her work, the song makes their ears bleed it’s to bad.

The lazy parts are downright not true, and the way they are describing their opinions as rude facts are not okay. It’s not good fans vs bad fans (I think I qualify as a bad fan for Ayu). It’s repspectful vs rude.

When I pick on Ayu I try to make sure it comes across as jovial because I want AHS to remain pleasant. I don’t want to ruin other members’ experience.

I think that’s pretty fair for all, call me crazy.

Fans do behave badly sometimes.They can be rude and disrespectful. The worst of it is on the topic of Ayu's appearance, talking about her face, weight, and worst of all breasts.
I think it is totally fair to criticize this behavior. However, on the original topic at hand, those twitter users had totally valid complaints, they were not happy with the tour performance and price, TA isn't being updated and is overpriced, costumes are too revealing etc. Perhaps people disagree with those feelings but those concerns are not offensive and the people who feel that way or simply don't like something in general are not "Ayu's enemy".
Connecting to what Koumori said, if you can't handle diverse opinions then I don't see what the point of joining this forum would be.

I do too! Especially since we're seeing her beautiful natural eyes most of the time, the lenses are fun every now and then ♥

a❤martian · #**249** 17th May 2018, 05:44 AM

I guess the fans who were complaining about the revealing costumes don’t go to Koda Kumi concerts

I vote for more skin

EndOfTheWorld · #**250** 17th May 2018, 09:31 AM

I think Ayu was talked about on TV recently. I can't find the full video.

But some clips can be found on social media. Kaori Mochida from Every Little Thing was there too.

^ it looks positive!! Yay

Sky High · #**252** 17th May 2018, 02:14 PM

I just hope that this current positive image will transfer to her sales of new album.

yabieru · #**253** 17th May 2018, 05:05 PM

^ Your avatar is one of the clearfiles I got from the concert hahahaha

I'm so happy she's receiving good feedback lately. I saw this article in Buzzfee Japan about Tokyo Pride: https://www.buzzfeed.com/jp/shunsuke...4DM#.oigNElKR4

Sky High · #**254** 17th May 2018, 05:28 PM

^ Yes it is, I hope that you don't mind. I really like clearfiles that you posted

**DonkeyKongRemix** · #**255** 17th May 2018, 05:46 PM

I like the creepy contact lenses too.

I actually like "A One"

... it is my favorite album since Guilty (Or maybe Love Songs... I loved Love Songs a lot when it came out but rarely listen to it today)

EndOfTheWorld · #**258** 17th May 2018, 08:30 PM

改めて、藤田さんお誕生日おめでとうございました🎉✨✨✨

まだ見ぬ未来ばかりを案じて生きてた頃のわたしは、全てに怯えながら全てを楽しんでた。
今の為に現在を生きようと決めたわたしは、、、。

これ「お金2.0」を読み終えた超個人的な感想。また明日、広島へ向かう飛行機でもう一度読み直そう📙

Sky High · #**259** 17th May 2018, 08:53 PM

^Who is that guy on the left side?

Yes, A One is my favourite out of her recent albums.

I was listening to Winter Diary A7 Classical again. What a great album, definitely my favourite out of what I have heard of her classical/acoustic
orchestra albums.
