[TeamAyu] TeamAyu blog. 1 August 2011. "In the morning,"

[Eewyi]

I was really touched by this. I'm okay with both, Nayoa and JUNO, and I don't see anything wrong about her performance with Nayoa in a-nation.

I really hope that people will learn and think something after reading this message..

I must say, that now, I feel really sad for ayu, Nayoa and JUNO.
It's okay to say opinions, but first, think what you say...

[truehappiness]

It's rather sad that it had to come to this.

[freedreamer]

This happened when I announced my feature with JUNO as well, people got angry with him on Twitter, just like they are doing with Nao now.
Just what has he done wrong?

I feel that this has been repeating too much these days.
If this continues, I will feel that I can't let others come close to me anymore. And then, I will need to keep everything to myself again.

But, isn't that just too sad?

People whose faces and names you don't know, attacking you with their words, like knives, piercing deep into you.

this really hit me.

I've always admired Ayu on how she deals with situations. and...she's really strong

Luckily she's a mature adult and though it most definitely makes her sad, she knows how to deal with it.

Believe me, other musicians have fans, who are MUCH worse than Ayu-stans. But this - of course - does NOT excuse their terrible behaviour towards Ayu, Nao and Juno!!

[!Lawi!]

People can be so insulting...
I'mglad she wrote this message, but I feel somewhat sad for her...

100% agree with you. there's a way to give your opinion and a way not to.

[~StarCatcher~]

I totally understand Ayu's anger.

I hate how childish many fans react, because there are 2 new songs that feature other artist and the bashing starts before even hearing a second of the new songs....

So please listen to her!!!

[Chibi-Chan]

Poor Ayu. I don't get all the hate towards Naoya and JUNO. I find it something new and fresh that she collaborates with them. And I think the idea of performing with Naoya at a-nation is really sweet!

I wanted to write a lot of things but I agree with this and I'll go write an essey for ayu on Team ayu. xD

[elvesword]

I feel so sad after reading this message, why do people always like to attack a person that you didn't know....sad!

[Lanz16]

Ayu is very very serious this time.
People around her Twitter should use their head seriously before tweeting.

[relmy]

I'm glad she's at least realising that her decision for this a-nation was a risk that didn't really pay off beyond herself. I like her attitude about it more here. I hope she takes the criticism on board and maybe keeps the collabs for her collab songs. I don't like DREAM on but he has a right to be there in it (and I'd rather ANother song over summer song x or y).

But it's sad she had to write the rest about people's reactions to JUNO and Naoya. I've heavily criticised this a-nation - but mine has be targeted at Ayu's decision making. Insulting them is not fair. Did Naoya decide to sing Ayu's solo songs? No, it was Ayu and her management who did. He's not a bad singer anyway, so it's just silly to call him "noise" or whatever.

That said, people shouldn't be so hateful to Ayu either, but I still feel she has to suck it up for once. I feel sometimes fans are really protective of her and won't let her hear anything "bad".

Thank you for sharing Misa. ♥

[Mayayu]

Wow go Ayu! She's inspiration always
Can't understand the whole hooplah to begin with...

Thanks for translating & sharing, Misa-chan :3

[Luja.]

Thanks for sharing Angel.

I have to say, I am shocked again and again by how some people use horrible words and expressions to voice their opinion. Sometimes I think they think because it's Internet it's ok, which is so untrue. I mean, for example my / our only way to ever "communicate" with ayu is the Internet. I doubt the people who wrote these horrible things would dare to say this to ayu / Nao / JUNO eye to eye.
This is just sad. Even though she doesn't want to discuss this on twitter I think sending messages like "I kook forward to your guys new work and collabs" is fine because I would like to show that there are still so much fans who just support her decisions.
And I think it's wonderful that she is allowed to work with her friends as she wishes and that that makes her happy!!
Ayu gives us so much, some people should finally learn to appreciate that and think before complaining about every little thing they dislike.

The first thing that came to my mind is when K-pop fans harassed Max on twitter over the TVXQ fallout. Not sure if that's what she's referring to, though...

I think consumers have the right to be disappointed or even upset with a product that doesn't meet expectations (in this case, Ayu's performance), but harassing her and Naoya about it is just childish. I'm sorry she's had to deal with so much personal backlash. Thanks for sharing your translation, Misa-chan.

"Yesterday, there were tweets about Nao's voice being "noise" in my show.
Is that supposed to be just an opinion or criticism? Isn't that just vicious slander and violent words?"

OMG PREACH GURL! So true.

I agree with you 110%!

[Mami-chan]

It really made me sad reading these words from Ayu... Really really sad, and I can't believe the people who are hurting her are actually her fans...
I'd like people to start thinking before speaking...

And by the way, I loved Dream ON and I've always been excited about the new collaborations!

[asmAyumi1992]

Well, I know why Ayu have to write this message. I keep seeing people bashing her and Nao and Juno in twitter. If I were in Ayu's shoes, I would be very angry. But Ayu is still very diplomatic person and very nice. Ayu is a wonder woman , no doubt !
