Ayu intervenes in Max Matsuura's Twitter feud

[Lizzyboo]

hm wow, i didnt even know that stuff was going on. I have to agree with just about everyone though, fan girls can be pretty crazy and his tweet was not offensive at all. I'm conflicted with Ayus message though because while I give her props for standing up for max, i hope the toho fans dont gang up on Ayu now as Surreal_rainbow said.

[AyUmIXx]

yes..i really hope that Toho fangirls won't be mad at Ayu just because what she said was right..

[waterballoon]

God it's a disgrace really... me being a TVXQ fan too & knowing that such childish & ridiculous fans exist O__O

[AyUta]

So these fans are called netizens? Where did that name pop up from? I hear it all the time on another forum, but the people on there are always mad at "netizens" because they are so harsh in judging and such.

ah, now i know. i had no idea . sorry if it sounded stupid T_T.

[CHE.R.RY]

I think the fans were the ones being immature. Max's tweet wasn't even bad . How freakin' dumb ....

[chloeM]

if that's offensive, then i don't know what offensive means~

[Andrenekoi]

I find it ridiculous when fans put their "love" for the artists over their happiness... Toshoshinki members are obviously unhappy about their situation, if not, they woundn't end the band...

[LizBrazil]

I don't think fans will start bashing Ayu. Most Toho fans love her for the support she has shown during a-nation (waving the Toho towel) and for saying that she is a fan herself. Most of them are proud that the Queen of Jpop supports the boys.
Also, don't think all Toho fans leave bad comments to Matsuura. International forums have started several projects to show their support to Matsuura.

Some projects:
1) [INFO!] Leave your messages/comments for Max Matsuura-san here! (2009-now)

"Our lovely translators have offered to help post O! member's comments into Max Matsuura-san's blog under an account with the name, OneRedOcean. As he has mentioned before, he reads all the comments. Knowing the amount of support he has shown towards Tohoshinki, here's your chance to show your appreciation to him."

2) [Project] Cassiopeia thanks Matsuura-san! (2010)

"Hey guys,

I've been following Max Matsuura's tweets lately and if you did the same you might have noticed what kind of person he is and how much he did for TVXQ til now.
Even now he's supporting them and hopes that they'll get back together.
Many people write mean comments and accuse him for not doing enough.. or say they're disappointed.
But in my opinion this man did a lot more than anyone! And somehow I feel like he doesn't get enough recognition...

He's not only supporting them but also gives us fans answers to some questions.. what nobody has done before.
Okay some answers are not always clear xD but at least he's replying to messages and is not lying to us. (Like other people do -.-)

Therefore we have decided to make a "thank you" - Video! To show our gratitude and cheer him up. "



"For everyone who's curious.
We've posted this video on Matsuura-san's twitter and he replied:

He also uploaded the video on his blog:
http://ameblo.jp/maxmatsuura/archive1-201004.html
He wrote: 涙がちょちょ切れました。 世界中の東方神起ファンからです。Which means: I had to cry out of happiness and it's because of all of Toho's worldwide fans. (thx Anke for the translation)"

3) [Trans & Request] 091001 Max Matsuura’s Birthday was on October 1st: Can We Send Him A Birthday Message Together? (2009)

[y_nathz]

Thanks to post that Liz
Only some fans acts dumb, Tohoshinki still have plenty of cool fans who respected Ayu and Max

[rakeru]

Wow, I can't believe some people. Those fan and non-fan reactions are so dramatic and wholly unnecessary.

[ayuayu798]

Matsurra message was in no way offensive... Those tohoshinki fans really need to calm the hell down. What was he supposed to do. Beg for forgivness? He doesn't even have a reason to apologize. If anything it should be tohoshinki apologizing or whatever , not him.
These fans need to understand that LIFE happens and not everything is gonna end up the way they want it too. Them nagging like that makes people not want to listen to them, cause it's just annoying!

[Lora-Ayu]

Max Matsuura was only saying the truth. And I don't find any of his answer as offensive whatsoever.

And Ayu gained more of my respect for standing up for Max.

[rusuke]

GrrRRrr I don't know why these fans act like this. Max didn't said anything offensive or so they think. And it's nice that Ayu is so nice, trying to cool the situation. Max deserves recognition and respect.

"Wanting them to get back together is my wish, but not getting back together is their decision.”

^He said it. It's TOHO's decision not to get back together. Why fans don't blame Tohoshinki themselves?

[AyUmIXx]

YEAP true..not all Toho fans are like that...
only some of them..
so I hope Ayu's fans will not think that all Toho fans are like that

[baka-ranger]

Yeah its fans like that that blur my vision into finding all the good fans in the fandom, while I know good fans exist the batshit crazy ones are so overpowering LOL. hence, why I think all Korean fangirls are crazy even though in reality I know that probably most aren't.

I don't know why these particular ones are against Max though, isn't he the one helping the boys. If they did have Avex, they might not even have a company go back to depending on how willing other companies were to allow them in since they kind of jsut sued their old one LOL.

Good for Ayu though, she must know there is a possibility of backlash against her but she still decided to stand up for her friend. These certain fans should get it in their head that it is most likely that these boys will not reunite and try to help them on their new career path rather than just whining about how Max is the evil one prying them apart which makes no sense whatesoever. Obviously Tohoshinki is better as the whole group...in fact the only reason I ever liked the group was because of HoMin, not the other three LOL.

Its hard but they should accept the fact that things with the group aren't going to be the same...I still have a friend at school who's still in serious denial about their break up.

[Mary Weather]

How is this tweet offensive again? Fans are crazy sometimes....

[tetsuo69]

Damn ayu should stay out XD

Yeah, not only that I kinda wish Avex had stayed out. i'm so worried that due to fans like these that the drama will be dumped onto and may affect the Avex and/or the artists within it. If some bs happens like fans accusing Avex of keeping the boys from reuniting because OMG they cannot ever ever break up because like ALWAYS KEEP THE FAITH!!111 and they start that whole boycotting/protesting on Avex instead of LSM, I'm just gonna crack it. I don't want Avex to be the new focus for the crazy part of the Cassies to unleash their wrath on.

I mean, before kpop I had never even heard of the term anti-fan, if because of the issues with DBSK people like Max9even not eing an idol) and Ayu gain antis......its just like prz do not be bringing your crazy to Japan and its entertainment industry. Honestly I just wish JYJ had stayed in Korea and signed to a ent-company there instead of going over to Japan. Now it seems the business relationship between the two companies will be so that they most likely won't work together again...;A; I seriously want Soshi to be represented by Avex...but now excuse my lack of better wording....its jsut awkward for them to work together. I mean if Soshi and Ayu got to interact in anyway...bloody ultimate music fandom clash ;A;
