Ayu's social networks - Discussion #52

[truehappiness]

Ayu's new entry seems kinda random... she talks about how Max never gave up on her when she was younger. Did people say a lot of things about the younger dancers she chose?

Back to hayasaki talk:



No, this can't be. hayasaki-kun passed away...

Wow, I'm saddened by this news. This is heartbreaking. He passed away because of leukemia. A group of cancers that usually begin in the bone marrow and result in high numbers of abnormal white blood cells. His last Instagram stories were in the hospital, probably for the attempted leukemia treatment.

hayasaki-kun was really one of our favorites in the AHS community. Very devastating to hear. Rest in peace, hayasaki-kun - he will surely be missed.

Spoiler:

I really have to wonder what's going to happen with the potentially 'lost' remaining footage of videos that he may have captured from his overseas trips that he has been using for his YouTube travel vlogs. Does Yuya have a brother or close relative?

Seems Japanese fans have the same opinion as most all of us here - the dancers are too much. Everyone is saying so many are not needed, that people come to see the female singer Hamasaki Ayumi. One person even wrote something like “is it because you have no confidence in yourself that you surround yourself with so many like this??”

[AyuWorld]

^
wait, what?? those are all her new female dancers??

[Katsuyuki012]

^^aren't most of these just for a-nation, though?

[Uknow!]

Maybe is for W choreography?

[CeReSu]

Dear god, all these people are the new dancers?
this is too much...

[xLuna&1LOVE]

A WARNING new gang-b... uhhh grouphang?

[cosmicfirefly]

If those are all the female dancers but she only accepted the three other new male dancers, it's probably for a special performance since she did say she was going to try something new at a-nation. Either way i hope she hasnt been getting many negative comments from fans though, there's a way of being critical without being hurtful.

[truehappiness]

I guess all the TA entries 'reacting' are about the dancers then. Seems she's not going to post anymore about it however.

[SunshineSlayer]

^ It seems at least partly that way. It's hard for me to completely understand them (spoken Japanese is more my forte) and I don't really keep up with what Japanese fans say about her though, so it's hard for me to know the context. In her last couple of posts, she talks a lot about Max and that he's the only person who ever believed in her, TA, the stage, singing, etc., is the only place she has ever felt like she belonged. It is literally her entire life. She doesn't want TA to stop being a safe place to express herself, is what I got out of it.

What I don't like though is that she apologized again for hurting everyone in TA and then "running away" to America and that she considers it a mistake. I don't even understand why that's something she should need to apologize for. (actually I do because I lived in Japan for so long, haha; I just completely disagree with the mentality.)

Totally different tidbit, but she does mention she is doing voice training as well.

thank you.

I guess past is past Ayu, no need to apologized so hard now but i think thats the way in japanese culture

in the Ig video looks like theres going to be flailing dancer (the new one) again and wailing Ayu haha

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Had my roommate search around twitter and stuff
He said people were complaining about Pei drinking and smoking despite only being 19. (20 is the legal age in Japan)

Also TA were complaining that they’re supporting her yet DVD footage is uploaded online.

[AyuWorld]

^
Which one? Saw some performances on the chinese site, well what can people do, it is 2018 and internet is everywhere.
Ayu and her staffs cant totally prevent it from happening

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

^ I think it’s just general DVD footage, not one in particular. But not sure.

[Andrenekoi]

^If they are annoyed there are leaks online, they are a bunch of assholes cuz she can't control it.

If they are complaining about the trailer, they are a bunch of assholes as it shows almost nothing and its used to help her selling.

Conclusion: bunch of assholes.

[SunshineSlayer]

^ Pretty much.

The posts are a bit all over the place but kind of go back and forth between thanking Max, equating her experience as a teenager with the new dancers, apologizing to TA, and thanking TA for being the only other people than Max who have believed in her.

[the3ye]

Too many dancers? Are they fans who attend her lives or just watch DVD and such?
I saw people with uchiwas plastered with pictures of dancers on one side and ayu on the other. I heard people shouting their names during performances and cheering for them as well. So how come suddenly it's too many, is it because their favorites won't be in the spotlight anymore?
I get it that sometimes the stage is too crowded and I'd prefer just her on stage, but gosh stop being hypocrites...
