TA msg 236

Ayu is talking about the fact that Japanese news sources are getting ahold of the Japanese diary entries, and releasing the information to the public.

She is not talking about the international fans, but she's talking about the newspapers and stuff that publish her words. For example, a few days after she revealed her deafness, it popped up everywhere in Japan. And just recently, the story about "Aneki's" death spread as AT08 ended.

sounds logical. but even so, ayu's entries are in the WWW! i am sure the Japanese news sources find it easy to get hold of news of aneki's death and such. so i feel that we cant actually blame anybody. because if the news didnt dig out all these juicy info, there wouldnt be such things call "entertainment section" in papers.

i was also quite shocked that aneki's death was the hot topic after AT 08 ended.

by the way, the sales of tickets to AT 08 in taiwan jus started 2 hours ago tickets got sold out in like 35 minutes (for the 4500NT tickets). i didnt get any tickets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope so, yeah, that might be it...

Although japanese culture is a litte bit xenophobic, well it's no wonder, Japan is an island and it was more closed from cultural influences for a long time in the past... So I think she feels more connected to her japanese fans but that's only natural. But still, I guess she meant the news.

I was kind of upset when I read her (Ayu's) message last night, well really upset, because I didn't understand why we international fans have to be "left out" of her fan club. I understand how she feels close to the Japanese people, her people, but does that mean she doesn't care for her other fans? Maybe not so much her fans in Asia, but Europe and America's?

Maybe I am jumping to conclusions, it's just frustrating. And personally, for her respect I'm not going to read her TA messages anymore.

Again, I don't think many people are reading this correctly.

She probably has NO IDEA [99.9% sure] that people from China/Taiwan and the USA and around the world are seeing the TeamAyu messages.

What's troubling her is that her "private" messages are being quoted in the media in Japan. She wants the freedom to be able to post a meaningful post and not have it spread around the Japanese newspapers. However, with the fact that it's an online blog, news reporters that are her fans will probably leak the information to the media. Either that, or the news companies themselves have a subscription to TeamAyu. D: It's sad, really.

Oh I understood that myself. I am just sad personally that I can not be a fan club member really unless I move to Japan which I know I won't/can't.

Please. Ayu is not the only one without an international FC.

Out of all the other artists, there are like what...2 or 3 that do?
