And there is a big difference between Mao Asada and Alan. Asada, worldwide, is actually far more well known than Ayumi even. Asada is a well established star and if anything she needs less publicity, not more.
Of course it's possible that she only meant something good in this message, but given the situation and the fact that I'm sure Alan's contact with Ayu is perhaps briefly seeing her in the hallway every once and a while, the opposite is probably more likely. And I don't see how suspecting that is "self centered"? I could say that everyone who doesn't suspect it is "naive."  |
To me being naive is generalizing that all ultra famous people don't ever seek attention and all those who aren't famous are eager to leech on famous artists. In your opinion, the only people who can talk about ayu are those who are more famous than her? O_o;;;...I guess Mika was stealing some attention too when she talked about ayu, ne?
Alan posted that in
her blog. She didn't write that for some famous magazine or made an interview for a wide broadcast TV show. It's just her blog, that will be accessed by people who knows her. Actually, some crazed chinese fans (most likely alan fans that were ayu fans as well) were probably bothering her to talk about ayu's situation since she works on avex too, so she decided she would say something about it. If people don't know who the heck alan is, they won't obviously be reading her blog. I doubt what she posted will become worldwide news, but some you guys treat as if it would, and that's naive. It won't become breaking news. Actually, in a week or two, this message will already be forgotten.
People who weren't her fans or knew her won't bother reading her blog. Some alan+ayu fans probably read it and decided to spread those news through ayu forums. I'm sure alan's intention was just to have an answer to her avid fans who are also ayu fans and won't stop asking her about how ayu has been after she announced her hearing loss. It's not her fault.
Last, the fact alan posted this, didn't make me feel like suddenly buying her stuff just because she talked about ayu. And I really doubt the other initiates felt like buying her stuff either, just becuase she revelaed her empathy for ayu.
