they held my TA membership card for about 1 1/2 to 2 months before i had them send it to mt. i wouldn't worry about them sending things back.

also, i got my shirts today!!!!!

^Nice!
I got an email back saying there is no time limit on paying it...but...they already charged my fiance's card without me authorizing the payment, which I thought was strange. So I guess that means I will get my shirt soon.

tenso charged the card already without authorization? thats really odd.

but yeah, i was pretty certain there was no time limit on paying it!

hope you get your shirt soon Jen!!! :yes

^Yea my fiance checked his account a few days ago and there was a charge for about $25 from tenso, which is the amount of my shirt and their fees...but I never hit the pay button my tenso page. I just emailed them asking about it, hopefully I won't get charged twice. My fiance is already mad because of it and told me we're not ordering through a middleman again. >.<

^that sucks... :(

by the way...my t-shirt fits HORRIBLY. it fits like a girl's t-shirt kind of...really wide at the bottom and the sleeves are really tight and short. ugh. :(

^I'm afraid mine won't fit. I ordered XL, but XL in Japanese size is like a L or M. >.< Oh well. Guess I'll find out when I get it.

^well i just realized, they must be all girl's shirts anyway, not unisex, i mean they are from vivi magazine with is a girls magazine. i'm sure they didn't think guys would order them. thats why it doesn't fit me right.

BY THE WAY, if anyone wants a size S, i would be happy to sell it to you for the amount i paid, just so i get my money back. since they don't fit, i only need to keep 1.

I've only washed it twice so far, inside a delicates bag so I thought it would be safe. I think it actually came off when I wore it, perhaps on a seatbelt or something =| I now make sure I wear a bolero over the top when I wear it, just in case!!

got mine today! I'm usually a M in US sizes and that's what I ordered and to my surprise it fits perfectly. not too big, not too small, not too short or too long. absolutely perfect. it's the best fitting t-shirt I own now. so comfy I want to live in it forever :laugh

^ same here, I'm M in European sizes so got M and it fits, I just wish the collar's bigger, it's a bit too close to my neck, I'm not used to that :)

got mine yesterday! would've gotten it sooner if I didn't forget to send the payment lol

I've got a size L, which I don't normally wear. I haven't tried it on yet, but I'm sure it'll fit just fine :)

Japan's sizing is very... interesting. An M or L probably would have fit you better~

I think they did expect guys to order them since they don't seem to be a ladies' cut from the photos I've seen of them.

yeah, its not just that they are sized differently, its that they are VERY obviously ladies cut tshirts. maybe some people got men's somehow...but the ones i have are definitely ladies cut. :yes

and i tried on S and M.

Interesting. I wonder if any male fans who bought them in Japan were surprised when they tried theirs on, haha~

well, i feel very confused, because some foreign male fans bought the shirts and said that they fit ok...

but on mine the arms were super small and the bottom was really belled out, exactly how female shirts are typically made. so, i have no clue what happened there...

makes me sad that i can't wear them though. :(

Is the sizing much different from her arena tour t-shirts?

Top is ViVi collab shirts, and bottom is current POWER of MUSIC shirts:

Wow, the HOPE shirts are a bit smaller than her normal shirts~ Probably a different shirt manufacturer or something.

Ayu doesn't really make men's / women's shirts, only sweatshirts. The sizing is meant to be unisex.

*And since you brought up PoM shirts, the material used for these shirts is really weird... It looks like it's made with plastic or something O_o...

...does it feel like plastic though?

Haha I didn't buy one so I don't know :P Unless you want me to go touch random people... :D
