She would feel connection with them, because they write to her, read her thoughts, and accept her, so she wants to thank them for that.

I dont really know how this makes her selfish or spoiled, because I think thats a great thing for her to do. She doesnt want fame as she said before, so its very logical that she doesnt seek out the entire entertainment world to be her fans.

You have to think about it in sort of Japanese cultural concepts. If you love an artist in Japan, you should join their fanclub, because when you joining, you become part of a very large group who love the same thing, and Japanese loves groups for the most part, and sharing their hobbies.
Sure. Of course there's a special connection, I've always felt that, and that is fine. But I am still a fan, and just as much as any TA member, I dare say But her never even mentioning her "regular" fans, makes me feel like I am not even wanted, or giving her any support. That's what I meant.
