TA could do so much more for its members. But it doesn't. But well, this all goes back to aging fans as well. Most people don't need A logo branded trinkets anymore. I certainly can't speak for everyone though haha. I know -I- don't need them now. :-p
I'd rather have more audio/video bonuses added to TA limited CDs/DVDs.
So yea, I use it for tickets now. That's all. :-/

I have to agree. It's somewhat useless that I decided to quit TeamAyu. I'm part of Room Ayaka fanclub only for the exclusive blog pictures, special photos and wallpapers, and the occasional Room Ayaka magazine sent out by mail (via Tenso for me,
but right now Tenso hasn't got it yet... EDIT 4/6 - it's on its way!), and I'm part of Room Ayaka just to support Ayaka herself (despite the fact she's married and she has a baby that is slowing her music operations down).
TeamAyu, on the other hand...come out empty other than the blog pictures. Surprised about what someone said - hyping things that are to come, only to find out it's still not there yet.
Seeing more 'mobile fanclubs' though - although the one I wanted (Sayuri Sugawara/THE SxPLAY) is off-limits to those outside of Japan because it required a Japanese phone, and I don't have one...
So, yeah, in general - I'm not too fond of these so-called 'paid' fanclubs recently.
