Ayu's Twitter/Weibo - Discussion #37

[Coelacanth]

You know, more and more I see why she initially left Japan...

I actually get the sense her Japanese fans don't understand her as the complex individual that she is and still expect her to follow certain conventions, even though she's far removed from the society at large. She has a peculiar way of expressing herself and it's like her Japanese fans are unable to accept certain things about her persona, her "otherness."

It's weird because her 'otherness' is what I consider to have made her a hit in the first place (in the way she expressed that with her honest lyrics)

I think her fans just aren't used to getting this unfiltered Ayu via social media in general.

When I saw the cryptic tweet, I figured it was going to end up in drama like this. She probably should have followed up a bit faster with her 'ending' though, since people are VERY quick to jump to conclusions if a bit of time goes by before another update, so it is partially on Ayu too. Wonder if she's just gonna stop posting somewhat personal things on Twitter for a while due to situations like this.
