Meanwhile it makes me feel what they said in the announcement about the renewal of TA in 2014 is totally a scam. We only got one single issue of web mag. Most of the “member's exclusive documentary films” can actually be found on her Youtube or from Line Live until they put those selfie footages from recent TROUBLE TOUR. The so called treasured photo gallery has never been updated since 2015. They never have held live broadcast corner that we can Q&A with Ayu real time. Ayu herself even more active on updating instagram rather than her TA blog now. What I see is they don't care about contents of the TA website anymore because most of them are seldomly updated. In fact I won't mind paying more to get a membership with more comprehensive contents like the previous A course TA, but what they have been doing currently makes me feel it's a bit not worth joining.
I don't think that the new fee is related to that unfortunately. As the web magazine was out after. (Sorry I should have clarified in my last post that it was only the webmag that I miss). It looked more as all the new things they did in the past years. They launched them then never do it again or updates them as you said in your post. :/ I wonder why they barely update things. It's not as if they didn't have any material. Even with the touring there are plenty.
