ayu's twitter/weibo thread ~part 16~

[Andrenekoi]

^Hikki doesn't have an idol image or a image based career, what means her material doesn't have as much collection value as Ayu's... Not saying one is better than the other or any ******** like that, but there a good amount of fans who buys Ayu physical stuff cuz they feel they need to have a physical copy of everything she does, while on Hikki's fanbase, the most important thing is the music in the end of the day (even to her, as she put little to no effort on her visual stuff since her divorce).

So, considering the differences on the way both ladies focus their careers, I don't think we can compare theirs hardcore fanbases based on physical singles, as, from my experience, to a considerable part of Hikki hardcore fanbase, a paied download of her latest release and a physical copy of her latest single value the same...

If we take sales in consideration, it's also nice to notice that even if Hikki's oversells Ayu digitally, what means people can easily get her newer songs they liked if they are casual listeners, she also beats Ayu on album charts, what means a lot of people are interested enough in listening to her whole production even if they have access to only the songs they liked.

I for sure know more Hikki hardcore fans than Ayu's, what's funny considering I'm part of a Ayu forum but never bothered being part of a Hikki forum (mostly cuz her fanbase is disgusting).

This has a lot to do with the fact that Hikki is mostly seen as a musician, while Ayu is mostly seen as an idol (even by part of her fanbase, as we can see daily over here) what explain the differences of behavior on their fanbases...

[susiowong]

I thought Ayu made a post saying the lifestyle book thingy is going to be an actual book.

[Deibel]

ayu went back to twitter yesterday!

She didn't say nothing special, just things like that she spent a lot of time planning the eyelashes thing, and that she was wearing the black coat of the new campaing of Aquascutum in NY.

At least, she has showed signs of life on Twitter again!

[YUKARI]

^ hope she'll start talking to fans soon.

[Bigtop]

New picture, back to Lockerz (Plixi/Tweetphoto; Echofon default) again...

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Just to clarify, Ayu will be releasing a life style book, and it is currently untitled.

That page in ViVi is announcing that it's "coming soon" and basically lists things that will be in the book. Pictures of Ayu's shoe closet, items she's currently interested in, pictures of her with no make-up on, things related to Pino and Papico, her "Jet Setter styles", etc.

BTW, how American is that page? xD
