One friend asked for jpop recommendations for the first time ever and I told him "fairlyland" as the first option.
Well guys my ultimate fav Ayu song has been decided by myself subconsciously.

Good choice! I think it's a very Ayumi-ish song! I also showed my friend the PVs from (miss)understood and her favourite songs are Step You and Fairyland.

TeamAyu members received new novelty item. And again, I didn't even get a message about it :/

[Aderianu]

don't remember this tattoo

[DevilsClap]

It's that one were we usually only see a part of on her hip isn't it?
I never thought it's going this far down hee thigh to be honest..
It's visible on a booklet page on Party Queen Album
and in her photobook where she is in bed you can see it partly on two pictures I think

[attractive nausea]

I wonder when she got it done, i wish she'd show off all her tattoos once and say when she got them

[DevilsClap]

^ yeah I would be interested to when she got them
and if there is a meaning for those
( there has to be..)

Seems that even tho TA is now global all the love is reserved for the japanese fans. I didn't recieve message about this or about that last TA magazine. So unfair. Aren't we all paying the same fee?

[DonkeyKongRemix]

I wish I could get one of those, it's really cute. XD

Edit:

I am really in the mood to listen to Happy Ending but I don't own it. Guess My Story is next on the list of albums to purchase. XD

Indead we are not. There are still some Japanese Fans (or Global fans that were member via middleman) that have old membership. The old membership was double the price and you did recive magazines + novelety goods. Before TA went global they removed this membership option. So everyone who signed up after TA went global does not recive any magazine or gift. (this kind of "light" membership was also available before btw)

Yeah but when their yearly membership ends (which means, this year), will they be able to keep this old membership or will they have to subscribe to the global one if they want to renew their membership? Because when i joined TA today there was nothing but the light membership, i don't know if i'm being clear here...

[Delirium-Zer0]

When their membership ends, yes, they will be going to the 3700 yen global membership (As I did this past march when my membership renewed - I joined in early 2011 when Japan was the only "official" membership country, and the membership was divided up between the 6000 yen A-Course and 4000 yen B-Course). The Japan-only 3700 yen era didn't last very long so I keep forgetting that was even a thing. o_O

If it makes anyone feel any better, even when I was a member of the Japan-only version of the fan club, I tended to get the "there's a novelty item coming!" emails literally the day they arrived in my Tenso box, MAYBE 24 hours before. They seem to send the goods out in waves, and it might make sense to do all the Tenso shipments all at once at the end so they can just save on postage and send all those packets to one address.

[Xianghua]

I'm a "japanese" team Ayu member and I didn't get any notification either. But like Deli said, it's usually the day of or the day before the item arrives.

Now I'm really curious to see if the gift is in my mailbox when I arrive home today.

[luna7996]

Just pre-ordered the mini on mu-mo. The one with the mirror. Hope it won't break during shipping. I was thinking of ordering the one with the sticker but what the heck am I gonna do with a sticker? I mirror I could use.

If everyone including the japanese fans will be under the same global membership by december 2015 i wonder what those special gifts (magazines, random things) will become! Maybe they'll put more efforts on the digital content to make up for it.

[~angel*ayumi~]

I think magazines will become completly digital. And the gifts, maybe you can buy them at TA shop, like international members can now too (you can buy the diary with the strap for 1500 yen i think)

[Aderianu]

thanks god diary still available for sale, because I lost mine

[rainbow_smile]

Was at Parco in Shibuya today and they aired the Samantha Thavasa ad with TSMGO in the background, though the volume was really low

[DonkeyKongRemix]

I really enjoy the layers of sound in Rainy Day. The whole song has kind of a gentle and extremely graceful sound to it.
