[wednesday]

I'm not trying to fuel the fire or attack anyone, just my two cents on the fandom thing: I don't think that its unfair to say that there is a difference in the attitudes of the Japanese fan base versus the international fan base. There are different "expectations" of a celebrity in the cultures. As such, if she is catering to a specific one, the other would feel more alienated and perhaps resentful, though I would not say that it would always be intentional or malicious. Also not saying that this applies to everyone, just in more of a general sense.
