Of course she hasn't outright said, "Oh I think the fans who follow me on Twitter are less awesome than u guys!" or anything like that, but it's what she says to TA, "I only show my real self to you guys...", I mean maybe it's a miscommunication or something but doesn't it also mean that she shows her "fake" self to Twitter/other places?

I understand how she can be more "herself" in TA though; writing longer messages and being able to post more everyday photos of herself and all that, but again Twitter is more convenient too I guess?

But Ayu has said it right, there ARE fans out there who'd love to join TA but can't for their own reasons but who support her with the same heart as the TA peeps. I personally can't afford the TA membership at all and I don't have any credit/debit cards so I can't apply for a membership too, but I love Ayu and support her just as much as the TA peeps/anyone else, and I'm glad she's acknowledging our existence

Okay. I get what you mean now. Twitter is more convenient but it has it's downside since you can only use up to 140 characters I believe so she can only say so much. It is very nice to see Ayu point out that those who aren't part of TA love her just as much.

I think the thing is.. because Twitter is that short & convenient, it'd be much more easier for her to give little shout outs like, "new album might be out!" or "hmm I'm preparing costumes for CDL!" instead of having to post it via TA Diary (well she uses her iPhone to do that now but whatever lol)...

I mean, this whole drama started because people couldn't understand the different contexts behind her posting in Twitter & TA I guess... if only we could all understand the different type of messages under the different types of contexts in their own situations that Ayu has... wouldn't it be so much better?

I think it would be much easier if she did give little shout outs on twitter and then full blown details about everything in TA?
