How to join Team Ayu~ II
 

Hello everyone!!

Since I became a Team Ayu member I received many PM's asking me TA related things, how I joined and other kind of questions. Until now, the way I joined was a bit special, but finally I found a way to be a Team Ayu member without a middleman. I wanted to do this tutorial so that mor einternational fans will be able to join it!! maybe some don't have credit card, or others don't want to pay so much for the FC, but I'm sure there's a lot that don't know how to do it!! Maybe you aren't able now, but if in the future you can, here you have how to do it!!

You only need a credit/debit card !!

If you have it, the money and the dream to become TA member, it's possible!!!

_______________________________


First of all, we have to solve the main and most important problem, have a Japanese address. Thanks to Hatix, I went to the following site: http://www.tenso.com/en/

Here you can register for free, giving your address and a valid payment credit/debit card or paypal. You can pay with credit/debit card or paypal here. You will have to write your credit/debit card number in the registration. I use an electronic credit/debit card that I can charge with money every time I want to use it, so if you don't have a CC like this and you don't totally trust the site, you can still use PayPal ^^.

Once you have registered, you will receive to your email the Japanese address.

Everyone in the site has the same one, but at the end of it, you will have your special number, like a different zip code so that they know exactly who has received it. They also give you a phone number to use, because some sites ask for it (Team Ayu for example ^^).

You will get something similar to this one:

〒140-0000　東京都 品川区 東品川0-00-00-TS-----」

The TS is YOUR number and has 5 numbers. ^^

When you receive anything to you address they send you an e-mail asking if you want them to ship it. You can wait for more things to arrive if you want. They will tell you the total amount you have to pay. There’s a service and shipping fee (they use EMS ^^) and all that matters is the weight.

For example, a package weight is 800g, the price will be: 2890Y (23€)

________________________________


So now you already have a Japanese address and a Japanese phone number!! If you have a credit/debit card you can become Team Ayu member and buy in mu-mo, Yahoo Japan Auctions...


________________________________


Now you have to register in Team Ayu ^^. Maybe you don't have any problem joining it, but if you don't understand Japanese and need help, here you have a little guide ^^


________________________________


First, you have to go to that website:

http://fc.avex.jp/ayu/index.html

Once you'll be a member, you'll be able to change your membership information (address, e-mail, password) or pay for the next year fee logging in there (I'll write it later ^^)

1. Click that button to start

http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/5092/87519841.png

2. There're 2 types of TA membership, A and B. But with B you can't access the website, so don't pay for B, it's not worth the money. A costs 6000Y (66,30USD / 48,50€). So in this step you have to choose A or B.

http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/8508/21991613.png

3. here you have to write your e-mail twice and press the button ^^

http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/5900/58286794.png

Then you will get this message.

http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/6789/38728679.png

If your email there is correct press the first button ^^

http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/481/16270367.png

Then you get this ^ they say you that you will receive an email (immediately). So, please go and check your email ^^

4. In the e-mail you have received click the first link they give you. A new window will open and you will have to start filling your personal info.

Remember, now you need the TENSO address, here you have it again, you will have similar one, so see where I put each thing and you will have to do the same but with different number ^^

The name I'll use is: Maria Lopez (LOL)
〒140-0000　東京都 品川区 東品川0-00-00-TS-----」

http://img392.imageshack.us/img392/3158/70205229.png
http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/5638/87339371.png

You will see again all you info, if everything is right press the left button:

5. Now it's time to pay! Fill all info and press the left button. Wait and don't close the window! Also, only press one time or you'll pay two times ^^

http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/881/86021257.png

Now I can't give you anything else, because if I do it I will pay for another membership... LOL In fact after that you will receive an email saying that you have paid for it with your member number!!


After that you should be able to log in www.teamayu.com writing your number and password ^^


______________________________________



this is the e-mail I got the first time:


If you want to change your member info go to this site again: http://fc.avex.jp/ayu/ and press the the red button under the orange one. You have to put number and password. There will be a first page with the last ayu news and another to change your info ^^ (you can use the guide above ^^ press the button, they will show your info again, if its correct press the left one ^^)

You will have to go to this site after a year to pay again with your Credit/debit Card ^^ There will be a red alert saying "Hey!! Your membership is ending, do you want to pay for another year?" sth like this, hehe



________________________________


Now and extra guide, buy in mu-mo (or TA shop ^^)!!!

http://shop.mu-mo.net/

1. Click to "member register"

2. press the pink button

3. press the green one (yeah... you have read everything =D)

4. Write your mail 2 times, and press the button

5. If the email is right, press the button.

6. Go to your e-mail and click the link they give you ^^

7. Fill the info! I forgot to write, the password has to be letters AND numbers! BOTH!!

http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/9262/52446089.png
http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/5969/27020393.png

The secret questions are:

a. your parents wedding anniversary
b. your pet name
c. the first CD you bought
d. The artist of whom you bought your first CD
e. Celebrities you met
f. The venue of the first live you saw
g. What you like to eat

i. special interest

8. If everything is correct, press the RIGHT button ^^

9. DONE! You will receive an email now! Now you can buy CD's in mu-mo!!


_____________________________


When buying, either TA shop or mu mo, you will have to log in. Press the orange button next to the product. Then, the one with the cart, to add to your list. When you select all you want to buy, press the first button below the list to pay, or the second if you want to buy more things. If you want to delete one product, press the left button at the left of the product name ^^


http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/1357/60025265.png

When you press it they will show you the address you wrote in the registration, if you want to change it, write it again. Also if you bought before they will remember your credit/debit card, if not, write the number, the expiry date, and press the button ^^

They will give you an order number, SAVE IT! to see the status of your order you will need it and the phone number you wrote!!

_________________________________________


So that's all!!

I hope this will be helpful for you all and that more international fans will be able to join Team Ayu!! Again you only need a credit/debit card (only TENSO accept PayPay) and to register in Tenso to get an address ^^

For now I wrote only about this, but of I missed something or you have more questions, or wanna ask about Yahoo Auctions, or anything TA related, please ask!! ^^


P.D: sorry if there's some mistakes/typo LOL

hELLO EVERYBODY

I'm sorry because i don't post often here but my english is very sad.... it's very difficult for me...
But this time i have an important question. I joined the TA the 20th april 2010. I want continue but i don't know the solution for paid for a new year with the same member number. I want change my type of member too. I would have an access to the website of the TA. Can you help me. I'm so sorry for my english... It's ridiculous!!! :(

^Do you still need help?

You can pay for another year in here:
http://fc.avex.jp/ayu/

Just click that red "LOGIN" button. I think you can also change the type of member you want to be there. :)

I have the same probleme like asmodee. I would like to re-register.

Does someone could make a photo tutorial to explain how to re-register on the TA.
Thank you in advance!

I have the same problem Asmodee. I am a member of the TA for almost a year. And I want to register again but I do not understand how.

Does someone could help me or make a tutorial pictures. I think we should not be the only ones having this problem. And in addition the tutorial could be used by another person.

Thank you in advance for your help!

i got my TA membership card today!!! the envelope it comes in with the A Mark is SO freaking cute! i love it!



by the way, what is the merchandise that comes with it??? it looks like a keychain maybe, but why are those other two circular holes cut into it??? and the little pink clip???

The first thread has over 500 posts. Please continue the discussion here.

Hi!

Just knew that the website to join TA changed~

as far as I know everything is quite the same, so I think till I change the pictures, you'll be able to join with the old ones. Just 2 little changes!

1. First of all, you can no longer write your name in romaji, both have to be in katakana or hiragana.

2. At the "street address, building name" part, some people had problems cause wrote it with our normal keyboard, but it has to be with the japanese one, and in case tenso doesn't write it all like that I copy you it here (if you ever saw it, you can see in japanese keyboard numbers look bigger and letters too:

東品川 ４－１３－３４ＴＳ (use the following numbers to creat your TS number: １２３４５６７８９０) copy it exactly, don't retype!


I think that's all!!


I will add how to renew you account tomorrow cause many asked me this ^^


Bye!

^thanks aura! those are the two things i had trouble with when i recently joined TA. it was such a pain to get everything to work, so your update is very nice!

I was gonna renew my account now and it seems pretty straight forward.
Now, I don't get the part where you type your name in katagana. My name still is under romaji, and it does seems to be ok with the system.. Well..I will put a really basic tutorial here of what I'm doing to renew my TA account.


1.- Login into avex website: http://fc.avex.jp/ayu/
2.- In your upper left hand corner, you will see a red button that says "LOGIN" Like this one:
http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/3636/picture3nh.png

3.- Login as if you were logging into TA: (member number and password, and press the red button)
http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/3971/picture4nxz.png

4.-Again, in your upper left hand corner, you will see your member name, member number, and the following:
http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/2676/picture7yv.png
Probably there is a red message blinking like the following: "更新が近づいています" which means "Are approaching update" according to google translate. Probably something like "your account is about to expire".
What you have to do now is to press the left hand red button that says "継続する" which means "continue" according to google translate.

5.- After pressing that button, you will get some kind of form, displaying all your personal info. It is supposed everything is fine, but if not, then please change what it has to be changed.

Then, press the grey button at the bottom of this page.

6.- On the next page, they will ask you to confirm the info you just entered. Then, if everything looks ok, press the right hand grey button. To return to the last page, press the left hand grey button.

7.-Next, they will ask you to choose the pay method. Obviously, we will choose " クレジットカード " which means "credit card". Then press the grey button at the bottom of this page.

8.- On the following page, you nee to enter your credit card info.
There is a question here that says "かんたん継続を利用しますか？" And I supposed it means they are asking you whether you want them to remember your card info. Not sure about it though, so I chose "しない" that means "no".
When you are ready, press the right hand grey button.

9.- On the next page, they want you to confirm the information. If everything looks good, press the right hand grey button.

10.- Finally you will get something like this, which says they have accepted your credit card payment, and your TA membership expiation date has been extended for another year, like the following:

http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/1486/picture10m.png


And you are ready!

I hope this helps!!
Mane

Thank you ^^ I'm renewing mine just now!

// NOW IM IN TA! :luv2

Hi!

Whwn I want to change my andress I get always this message:

（*）は必須項目です。 入力内容に誤りがあります
番地・建物名は全角文字を入力してください

Somebody can help me?

OH MY GOD!!!!

This is a big problem ç_ç Did you all get a new address from tenso?
I got it today and went to add it in TA but I got and error...

The problem is that the numbers part of the address should be like this:
XX－X－X－ＴＳxxxxx

But now it's like this:
XX－X－ＴＳxxxxx

So the address form doesn't accept it.
What should we do now??? T_T

It worked for me. I used the japanese numbers. If you copy it from tenso it will not work.
Use this numbers that aura copied. =)

Really? I'm going to try again and let you know..

edit: ok, it works ç_ç stupid me ç_ç
The problem is that the numbers I put on the form looked exactly like the Japanese ones ^^;;;

I don't have problems with address line, but with index %) now it's 120-0023

You have to delete the - between the numbers. =)

i'm slow %)
it works

thanks

so,tenso changed address.how to change the address in team ayu?

^
http://fc.avex.jp/ayu/

red button "login"

your information

Guys, remember that you have to change your address on mu-mo aswell, not just on TA!

I made a small tutorial on how to change your Tenso address! ;)

thanks for that misa!!

I managed to do it :yes


What about for mumo?? do we change the address when we are about to pay for an order (check out) or something??

I changed my address on TA... Now... I need to change my address on mu-mo, can someone say how?


EDIT:

I changed my address on mu-mo... Now I have problems with my address on TA shop =/

Can someone help me?? T___T

Could anyone order through Team ayu shop with the new address?

The is a line (the TS xxxx..)that you should insert before you approve your order, I tried in many variations (from my tenso details) but it always says that there is an error. I didn't have it before the whole new address thing...

EDIT

Ok I got it, I just didn't click "If you're shipping abroad please click here" so I did normally Like the japanese customers, I still entered the full tenso address so I'm sure it will be fine! My theory is that they have an automated tenso address with the shipping abroad option and the new line you need to enter there (new TS) doesn't correlate so they won't give you to order. I think that mu-mo needs to fix it before you can order with the "If you order abroad..." option.

yeah... I think that's the problem... I hope they'll fix it soon, 'cause I just got a new Credit Card and I want to buy FIVE and the new CDL T___T

You still can do it the way I did it, I don't think there should be problems but if there will I will post it. ^^

And what did you do exactly? Did you write the old tenso address?

I ordered before I had to change the address.

Uhm... I changed the TA address but not mumo's, so I just looked at my order (waiting to be shipped) and it appears that they'll send it to the old address LOL


I don't know what to do. **** this

Ok, my order arrived at Tenso so my method is successful! xD

No, I entered my new one.

When you enter to Team ayu shop, just don't click on the "Shipping abroad enter here" button and proceed with the Japanese click upons. When you reach the details window you will be able to insert the new address.
First you need to put the regional number and then click near it, then they automatically put tenso's new district in and then you put the rest of the needed address in their areas. After that you have just 2 more pages to click "confirm" (In Japanese) and that's all. ^^

OOhhhh thanks!!!

I'll order my copy of FIVE in a few minutes!! =D

Okay so, mu-mo (TA shop) finally shipped my copy of FIVE :thud

I just got the email, now I need to wait and see if it actually arrives to Tenso xD mu-mo wouldn't let me change the entire address (as you guys noticed already), but only my personal number, soo yeah... Time to wait :thud:thud

I am planning to join TA. But still not decide yet. But before made the final decision,I need to know these;

1. What will happen if we fail to pay the annual fee?
2. Do we have to pay for the gifts?
3. Do we have to pay anything except for the annual fee?
4. In a year, how much money we will have to pay except for the annual fee?
5. Or, are all the gifts, included in annual fee?

Thanks for answering~ :)

I was nearly done registering with TA but... i got this message instead '現在クレジットカード支払いはご利用いただけません。別のお支払い方法を選択していただくか、しばらく待 ってから再度ご利用ください。' something about credit card payments not available. has anyone encounter this problem?

2. no
3. no
5. all gifts are free, except delivery from tenso

Does anyone know or can list the teamayu items they received for the past 4 months or so? I think for some of the past few months, I have not been receiving anything at all...no teamayu magazine, nothing. Just want to know what I am missing and then hope to somehow contact teamayu about it? Thanks for everyone's help!!! =)

Well, I think the last shipped item was in June/July. Now we have to wait the end of the month to get the new magazine ^^

Somebody know what is this?

-- Package information (1) --
　Sender　　　　　　 : ATENA　DM　CENTER
　Item (description) : Books
　Number of items　　: 1
　Price of items　　 : 0 yen

I thinks that's the new TeamAyu magazine. ^^

thank you so much for this tutorial!! finally I'm a TA member now!

though actually the registration's quite changed. if someone has questions, please, ask me ;)

Hi!

I want to renew my account, but I don't know what to do... I read the tutorial of maneayu, but I have problems with the first part...

This >>

It says I have to press the first red button, but I only got this:
http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x302/juanes6/TA.jpg

Can somebody help me??

Then, press the red one :D
It ask you to choose the payment method ^^

^ohh thanks xD
I feel stupid xD

Don't worry, it's normal if you can't read Japanese. If you have other questions just ask, ok? ^^

I got a mail from TA today

what does it mean???

^they are going to send new novelty in the January

^ wow, cool! is it for free?

^yes, except delivery from tenso

cool! i'm excited to see what it is.

Hi, I have another question ^^U

I pressed the red button, And I get this:
http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x...anes6/TA-1.jpg

I don't know what todo next >__<

Did you choose a different payment method from credit card? because here it talks about payment through conbini or post office .__.

I don't know D:

Where can I change it??

I'm not a TA member anymore u____u

I want to send them an e-mail but I need to write my name in double-byte characters, can someone help me?? I think my name is something like this >> エステバン ガルシア

OMG I got my TA card today!!! sooooo happy!!!!

http://img814.imageshack.us/img814/1...1e1abb0123.jpg

Anyone know who to email to change your gender? They have me registered as a male...I can't read Japanese >_<

I can't find how to pay with credit card

Then I click on red button
http://i.imgur.com/sBv5u.jpg

I see this page
http://i.imgur.com/0TsFz.jpg

it says "Please pay at the post office or convenience store"

That's the same reason why I haven't applied to become a TA member again lol I dunno what to do :(

but in remind letter they mentioned credit card -_- I sent them message with this question

Been thinking about joining TeamAyu ... glad this thread is here, I've never really looked at it before! Awesome.

they answer me

尚、日本語以外での対応は出来かねますので、何卒よろしくお願いいたします。

google translate says it's
In addition, the support of non-Japanese can not be so, thank you.

that REALLY sucks. omg.

^^Uhh, ok...that doesn't sound good... :/

my friend was also unable to renew his membership for this year since there are no longer any credit card options....ugh.

^^Oh damn, guess there goes by options. oh well...

@Aderianu: My friend and I were wondering...if you don't mind answering...

In his reminder letter, they told him that he had to choose a payment method by the 10th of April...which he was late on doing...

We were wondering if that was the same date you had? Perhaps they remove the credit card option after that date?

He says they always give responses that they don't support non-japanese, so we're wondering if the response is really valid, or if it was just, what they say.

only way would be joining all again LOL

racist TA is racist, jks

emi♡, yes, they say in the letter something about 3 payment methods and 10th April
credit card was by default I didn't think they going to change this option -_-

no way! I want to get new TA magazine this April!

Problems with credit card?Uhmmmm....I'll never understood why they can't do an international version of TA with shipping around the world without damn expensive EMS and tenso and different payment methods (credit card,paypal and so on).I would be joining TA for sure if it was more easy...I'm not that rich.I think Ayu should know this...Why nobody ask when they met her at London or LA?

^^hmmm...I wonder if other people were able to renew their accounts by credit card then...

seems the reason is that we was too late %)
but I didn't have enough money until yesterday

I see~~

well, it's at least good news for other people looking to open an account...that it's not totally closed off to international members.

I really don't care anymore, if I join again in the future I'll do it all over again, which isn't that hard anyway, I'll just be getting another membership card, number, etc I guess? Unless they don't allow you to join twice with the same name, etc? Which would be pretty annoying.

Maybe you might try to tweet Ayu about it~

Hi!

I got a mail from TA, but I dont understand it. Although I used google translate.
What should I do and where?

TeamAyuのみなさん、こんにちは♪

★会員証再発行の事前受付をスタートしましたので、ご案内させていただきます。

会員証再発行をご希望のお客さまは、注意事項をよくお読みいただき、
期間内にファンクラブサイト内応募フォームより必要事項をご記入の上、ご応募下さい。

^Do you want a new membership card? Then you have to fill out a form at the TA site. But you don't HAVE to do anything as far as I understand.

(Maybe your membership is running out and they want you to renew it?)

They also have news on their site:
http://i45.tinypic.com/bed8hd.jpg

Is it a special membership card?

I need to renew my membership and I can't because of the credit card thing as well... And I even tried to create a new membership, but it also won't accept payment by credit card, when I try to pay it shows a red message stating that credit card payment isn't available D:


EDIT: I tried again today (June 9th) and I was able to create a new membership!! I couldn't renew my old one 'cause I couldn't even login anymore (which is a pity, 'cause my membership number was so easy to remember), but at least I'm a TA member again ^-^
Now I'll have two TA cards xD

Anyone knows something about this? Is it new Members gift? Or will every member get it?
http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b134944970

^every member will get it
■レジャーシート
■スライダーポーチ

this thing is already waiting for me at tenso

Ah great^^
It´s a wallet isn´t it?

when I search レジャーシート in google image, it shows me pics like that
http://i.imgur.com/Nd9d2.jpg http://i.imgur.com/mDeyw.jpg

and スライダーポーチ seems to be this transperent thing with strikes

If anyone knows the answer to my question I would really appreciate it :D The TS-blah blah part in my address under my teamayu info is different then the one in my tenso address page. the only difference is there is an extra dash on the teamayu page... idk if they changed my address on tenso and took out one of the dashes. Does it matter? thanxxx

maybe if we appeal to ayu about to it on twitter she might be able to do something. She has acted on fan tweets before

I have a question... we have to pay it every month or it's a one time only fee?

You have to pay every year. ^^

Thanks, OyTony!

YAAAAY!! *----* I joined right now, so happy! ♥.♥

How do we enter into the CDL tickets lottery?? :D

tutorial about AT11
http://misachanjpop.wordpress.com/20...icket-lottery/

Guys, I want you to help me! My membership ends on Nov 30 and I want to continue it. Where should I pay? I haven't found the right page at the web-site :(

@YUKARI
Did you get a mail from TeamAyu? Maybe you are to early?

^ Not yet. They mail about it? And give a link to pay??

^
I got a mail, maybe you will get it soon.

^ Oh, I've just found the way how to pay! Thanks^^

I'm still not completely sure on how it works. Do you get to choose seats? Or do they give them out randomly? What's the ticket price when you win the lottery (does it depend on the seat you win?)? If you win tickets for 3 different shows, for example, do you have to buy all 3, or can you choose the most convenient one?

- Do you get to choose seats? Or do they give them out randomly?
randomly

- What's the ticket price when you win the lottery (does it depend on the seat you win?)?
8500 + delivery, doesn't depend

- If you win tickets for 3 different shows, for example, do you have to buy all 3, or can you choose the most convenient one?
I think you can win only one

Thanks!! :D
I got a few more questions then...
If you win 3 tickets for the same show, will they be next to each other or separated? And if you win 3 tickets and need just one, can you choose just 1 among those and purchase just that single ticket (assuming that the seats are not next to each other, let's say you get 2 random seats and 1 block A ticket, can you just purchase that one block A ticket?)

^I thought for the CDL, the max. number of tix you can win for a date is 2??

The example in the guide was for AT, so I was just referring to what I read there >,<
