back to Ayu. She said this person her tour manager? @A2O0829

I don't drink nor do i party....300 euros a month is REALLY little and i need to survive on that....considering i give half away for rent....this stuff would be no use for me really, i can't really spend money on music even if i want to, the ability to participate in the ticket lotteries is also pointless for me. Ayu's diaries aren't that interesting and it's not exclusive if she speaks about new releases, cuz they, you know, will eventually be announced anyways. So really, it's kind of a waste of money.
Also i always thought we are all on Team Ayu , aren't we all her fans after all?

I had a friend who was a member of DEARS - GACKT's official fan club , and she was also a member of Miyavi's too, you know what she did without any reason? she gave me her log ins to both. I was completely shocked. People always would get mad red about sharing that stuff.

I think i would share stuff as well. I mean what's the fun of being excited about something when you are the only person who knows about it?


Anyway. She really is looking younger than ever before!

I would disagree that it's pointless for everyone. For us, who go to her concerts and live far away from Japan this means that we don't have to find and pay for the middle-men or use the expensive re-seller shops, but can get the concert tickets at regular prices and win some good seats. Plus we are able to get TA versions of the releases.

Also the blog is not always about the new releases and it's now being translated into English as well. $30 a year is around $2.5 a month which is something nearly everyone can afford. I am fine with sharing things though, but you attitude is a little bit off there...

It's a thing only people from east Europe understand, the difference in earnings is huge, I have family in Germany and they earn 2000-4000 euro a month, so they could afford 30+ euro for entertainment easily (the cost of an album). When my uncle in Germany lost his job he still was getting 1000 euro from the government, I get 600 euro working full time as a teacher (when I started working ieght years ago it was 270 euro, lol), less than a jobless person in Germany and the prices in our countries are the same, clothes cost the same, CDs / DVDs, books, we may have cheaper rent and some food but when I want to order a CD from YA it's 30 euro just as it is for a German or French person.

The comments that a membership is 'two evenings drinking' is really painful, you should really be thankful that you have rich parents or live in a rich country if you can say things like that.

I probably could afford a membership but instead I collect everything I can to be able to go to go to Japan again and see Ayu live so I'm glad there are still people who share and I also buy stuff whenever I can and share them as well.

Well, it's not like everyone in Germany is rich. I have 550€ a month. 400€ is for the rent and I'm sharing my flat already with a room mate. Then I have 150€ left to buy something to eat and to buy all the other stuff people need for living. There is barely anything left.
It's not that I could afford a membership this month, or next month, or next next month...
And 1000€ is shit when you have to pay a rent of 800€ for a single room flat - depends on where you're living but in Hamburg that wouldn't even be expensive.

I don't have rich parents, my country not rich for sure and I get less than 300 euro per month.
