She must know, that she has got international fans by this point, and I adore and support her, even though I am no TA member.
I hate that club, I don't feel like I need to pay out extra to call myself a "true-Ayu-fan" and get a lil' badge and some extras. I buy her albums, tell everyone how much her music means to me, and I respect her. I feel like she does not care in the least for her non-TA member fans.

I don't feel that way at all. If you're a fan in Japan you're probably a fanclub member. (If there are 70.000 like someone said before, we can assume that is her mainfanbase) And Ayu is a japanese singer, singing songs in Japan. I just don't think her foreign fanbase is big enough. You can actually see that when we do this album count thing here. We get about 300 sales for an album for example. That's nothing.
Well, what I actually wanted to say is this: Ayu can dedicate the song to whoever she wants. I don't feel left out at all if some song is not dedicated to me or only to a specific group. It is her fanclub. I think it's great she made a song for them, even though I'm not a member. (and let's not forget it is not an A-Track on the single) We can also listen to it and like it, even if it's not specifically for us. I still like HONEY even though it was made for her boyfriend back then. But everybody feels different about this, I think.
It's just that I don't really care and it doesn't bother me in the slightest. I'm just happy I get to listen to one more Ayu Tune - the rest doesn't matter. Well, it would make me sad if she did a song for TA and post it only there so that others wouldn't be able to listen to it. That would make me sad, I think. But like this...everybody gets the chance to hear and hate/like it.
