Yes. Membership fee is a little bit more expensive: 3700 versus 3400 yen. The good news is that already existing id works for global site! They use Google translate to offer languages other than English.

So if I have allraedy a membership I don´t need to make another one? I can access japanese + global TA website with the same ID?

Yes, I tested it and can confirm.

So what's the benefit of being part of global versus being part of regular TA? You pay 300 yen extra but you still have to use Tenso, right?

So nothing changes for us^^
I will still let my membership run by Celga, it´s just more easy for me^^

I live in the US and was just able to register and have access to the site.

^Same here!

Well, I decided to change my mind and join the club...I'm glad I'm one of the first members under the new Global TA program! That time has finally come - I've ever wanted to join TeamAyu on December...and when they announced the Global TA matter, then I got interested even more!

What I don't like (a bit) is the higher processing fee (500 yen vs. 200 yen for Japanese domestic), and why do we don't get tax exemption unlike when we order on CDJapan? Anyways, the dollar to the yen is pretty cheap - 118 yen to the dollar!

For some reason, it won't take my credit card. I get this when putting in my info:

...even though I put everything in correctly. I tried with three different browsers :(

It wouldnt take my phone number, probably because it's not the same amount of digits as the US. So stupid -_- Guess I'll just fake a number.

Nevermind! My bank put an "overseas stop" on my card, only the site reverted me back to enter my info instead of giving me a "declined" message. So if any of you get that screen, try three or four times then wait for your bank to call and lift it lol

How much is it for the year..I know its 3200 yen and a little extra..

May have to wait until this weekend to get it

^ $31.44 total

I sent my email a few hours ago and haven't got anything yet. Anyone else have this problem?

^ What email are you using? (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.) I know they said there's some that might go to your spam folder instead or might not be able to be sent to.

It took them about an hour to send out the registration link and then another hour or so after that to get my member number to log in. I experienced the same thing when I signed up for Kuu's fanclub earlier this year.

with this change, I hope Ayu's diary will automatically come with translation :) I'm glad and happy for everyone who are able to Join! :)

That's not bad...I'll get it Friday.

I finished everything within 5 minutes.

Gmail. Just checked my Spam and it's not there either. I guess I'll just resend :/
