Well supposedly ayu intended that only her fans at teamayu know about the issue. Probably some member at teamayu who also active at ayuchina brought the news over, but it was only officially 'announced' by ayu at teamayu. The fans and media did the rest.

"The news outbreak about her hearing loss was actually to the Chinese fans first before even to her Japanese and other nations' fans. This spells how much does Chinese fans weighs to her."

But then the sentence above implies that ayu's intention was to TELL the chinese 1st..... But I thought ayu's intention was only to announce to teamayu??

someone explain this can?? I hope u all understand what i'm trying to say... (I'm trying to ask abt ayu's intention, and not Which country actually got the news 1st)

Well, I think she's telling about the outbreak to the rest of the world. The news were confined to TeamAyu. She's not implying ayu told China, but actually that ayu told it (at teamAyu, for a selected jnumber of people), but actually some fan from TA (chinese or not) saw it and sent the message tro a china forum about ayu, and once there, the news quickly spreadede through china because the chinese fans love ayu and wanted to spread the word that she had lost her hearing. She's saying ayu's chinese fans are also concerned about ayu, because if not, those news wouldn'1t have caused any impact towartds her chinese fans. She's not disresgarding japanese fans. It's just that the jaoanese fans from TeamAyu wouldn't leak that information to the rest of the japanese fans who weren't members of the team, so the outbreak of the news in japan, as a whole, not just TA, probably happened a little later than in china.

Ok a bit of my two cents...

I kinda don't believe that Chinese fans knows the news in the first place. Because if they do, it will be all over the Chinese/Taiwanese/Hongkonger newspapers the next day.

In fact, what we see here is very clear, AyuChina somehow got this piece of info through TeamAyu --- Ayu's personally typed messages.

The answer's quick. Why would ayu wanna post that in TeamAyu? She can just, you know, post a letter to the Chinese newspaper and ask them to publish it, probably be something about her left ear.

But I'm not trying to say that Alan wanna get publicity or whatever... So what if she did then? It's every artists' work to get attention! You wouldn't wanna be quiet all the time, if you were to be a celebrity?

Ayu posed semi-naked during her photoshoot of her LOVEppears cover, defying orders of Max Matsuura! What does that trying to implement? Publicity!

About the arrogance--trying to say Japanese-medication-is-inferior etc... Time to put it straight-forward: If you get some kind of disease and western medicine can't cure it, would you rather sit and wait for the time or try your best looking for other ways?

Chinese medicine has been proven that it is good against slow-diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma and respiratory illnesses. Even Her Majesty Elizabeth II go for chinese medicine when she had running nose.

The conclusion is: Ayu should try anything that is good for her ears, whether it's using hearing aid device, operation or acupuncture.... whatever. NEVER GIVE UP, ayu!

china is her favourite then...

[ayu_fantasy]

Haha... i kinda thought ayu posed semi-nude for Loveappears cos she was so daring.... Perharps it's for publicity back then..... she doesn't have to do this now cuz she's really famous...

The news outbreak about her hearing loss was actually to the Chinese fans first before even to her Japanese and other nations' fans. This spells how much does Chinese fans weighs to her

the sentence up there is said that ayu let her Chinese fans to know her hearing loss first before the japanese fans...

should it suppose to write, the hearing loss issue was first spreaded by Chinese fans?
hmmmm~

confusing..
whatever it is.. it's so nice that there's one artist who has concerned about Ayu's condition... that's great thing.. other than for publicity or whatever..guess that the most important thing is everybody knows!

[Albagira]

Oh,please, people don't be so rude to Alan, I think it's really great that she shares information with all the other AYU-fans. And I relly appreciate it. Thanks Alan and separate thanks for the translation!

Actually that's the meaning of the actual chinese sentence. So we are just translating the sentences - meaning what Alan posted and not based on facts/what we know

Anyway the message was leaked by a TA member who is active in AC. Though TA memebrs are NOT supposed to leak news to public [i think they were warned before], that person felt that this is a major news and should be made known to all fans[outside TA] who are concerned of Ayu.
Btw, that person did say that it'll be his/her last time posting messages from TA.

Yes, that's what Alan's Chinese words did mean. It's just that it's hard to keep the connotations during translation. Even now in this very global world the exact connotations of translated different languages are not 100% accurate.

Yup, golden rule of translation: Stick to the meaning, not the words, no matter how bull it may sound like. You can have all the comments from yourself afterwards but always always be loyal to the original text.
