Ayu's social networks - Discussion #52

[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.

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...

That photo of Ayu and all of those girls makes it look like she’s starting her own idol group

Hahaha, now I have to think about that one user on Baidu always calling Ayu just Ayu48 because of her whole troupe sticking to her like glue on stage. XD

AKB48 style

It would be near impossible to control online leaks, and honestly I'm hoping the concerts will be uploaded soon so I can see them. I support Ayu as much as I can buying cds, concert blurays, and recently going to her concert, but for the 2 box sets + overseas shipping is way out of my budget at the moment. Though I can also understand the frustration of paying for something and then having other people get it free.

And speaking of the box sets, I hope with future releases there are more options for those who just want to buy the concerts, and not all of the extra things, though now that they've done it with these plus previously Made in Tokyo, it seems that's how they'll continue. I don't mind when it's the TA concerts, because that makes sense, but when they make her main tours or countdowns so expensive to get, it's annoying.

Yeah, I want her concerts to be released on YesAsia so I can buy them.

"First one, on the way to rehearsal. Second one, when I came home after. As always, the power of naturally curly hair is impressive！*laugh* Now, the next 2 days, as one big family in Chiba"

通しリハ1日目、無事に終了。

やはりバンドさん、コーラスさん入っての生演奏は気持ちの入り方がすごくて、バラードで思わず泣きそうにな りました。

明日の通しリハも全力でいきます‼️

First day of rehearsal safely finished. Band and chorus was so amazing, that ayu almost cried at the ballad.

I just read Timmy's post about Hayasaki and his condition. I hope his family and friends are given strength during this ordeal

^ Pretty much. Jpop is so weird in that fans feel a sense of entitlement and ownership over their artists. And even weirder because the artists go along with it (most of the time). It was a betrayal when she married a foreigner not once but omg twice and then deigned to move elsewhere. It’s ridiculous.

I see, it makes more sense now. It reminds me of when actress Takei Emi denied and apologized for dating rumors with EXILE's TAKAHIRO and then in couple of years they both apologized for suddenly announcing that they got married and the actress is pregnant, and they also had to tell that their relationship started as friendship so that it looked as if they were not lying when they denied the rumours.

"Those are created by none other than your own two hands"?

I would not mind that song, even if she performed it last year
