Ayu on Twitter [V]

[waterballoon]

I think the thing about her leaking stuff on Twitter is that... well it's Twitter lol I think it'd be dumb and boring if she made a Twitter and yet have to 'choose' what she can and cannot say.

I also think it'd be dumb if anytime she has a thought like "CMJK-san wrote me a song!", "Mama Peach John is gonna make some clothes with me lol", "Ah damn my computer broke down while I was saving my lyrics"... seriously do you want such random and short messages popping up on TA?

TA is an official fanclub, and thus the announcements there are formal and duh it's not like it's Ayu who posts the "Official: Ayu x Peach John collaboration" on TA; it's her staff. They can't just... post any random thought from Ayu onto TA because

1) nothing is ever confirmed; for example CMJK might've written a song but it never means anything except there's a new song
2) TA staff =/= Ayu. While Ayu's twitter is her personal account and so she can post anything that comes to her mind at the time, the TA staff can't do that. Of course they have to wait for official confirmation before they could make official announcements on TA, right?

I think, in the end, it's reli about understanding the context of what is on Twitter and what is on TA. Sure Ayu might "leak" certain information first-hand on Twitter, but they're sometimes nowhere near official, and nothing beats knowing what EXACTLY is happening, which is what the announcements/posts on TA are for, right?

Hey, it's Ayu's twitter, she's gotta reply however she wants, right? Losing the freedom to what you want.. seems like something Ayu would hate a lot.

^ I didn't even see the original messages.

At least I don't recall seeing them. We learned about polite Japanese speech in class this week, I should know better.

I'm not sure about other TA members, but I would love to have such small updates over at TA. She did use to write there like this, small messages like working on new songs, writing new lyrics, the last time she forgot to save lyrics she also posted about it at TA, if you can remember. Now, I seldom see such random messages on TA anymore. Maybe that's what the big fuss is about, very little of real-time ayu over at TA. But she's been updating TA with her iPhone lately, so it's getting a little better.

Yes, TA has the official announcement pages where everything is posted up by her staff. But you're forgetting that TA also has TA diary, where ayu is free to update anytime, anyplace. She doesn't need her staff for that. It's just like Twitter, when you think about it. That's why people thought that once ayu has Twitter she'll update TA less, because Twitter's obviously easier to update, and she can chat with her fans too, something she can't do at TA.

lol I know right, I always have to go through ayu's twitter page myself to find out what people really said. Everyone would be ranting away because of something someone else said ("those pesky TA are hounding ayu about Twitter again!!!"), or read a lousy Google translation. Most misunderstandings occur because of us and our overactive imaginations.

Some translated tweets to cheer everyone up!

Today, with my "never losing" spirit, I made a strong promise to myself alone, to "never lose".

The English translation doesn't sound as meaningful as the original. ayu uses 2 different words here: 負ける and 失くす, both of which means "lose" in English. 負ける is used like "losing a battle", while 失くす is used like "losing something". So what she's trying to say is she promised herself she will never lose (the battle) so she will never lose (something important to her). Hard to explain the complexity of Japanese, hope you guys can understand this jumble I've written lol.

She explains herself in the next tweet:

What my previous tweet was saying is this. True strength does not come when one is trying to hide one's weakness. True strength only comes when you want to protect what is precious to you. Don't worry, everyone. Thank you, and good night.

Good night at 1pm Japan time. lol!!!

And

Ahhh-- I want hair extensions--...

It's definitely much easier for her to update short/random messages via Twitter since well that's what Twitter is for. Oh well...

Hey, there are 2 news tweets! the last one is pretty long!

今日という日も精一杯、顔をあげて、全力で生きよう。悔いのないように。だから私は、歌を歌う んだ。

歌った歌ったー。自分のために、自分を救いたくて、奮い立たせたくて歌う歌もある。誰かのために、その人に 想いを馳せ、愛と勇気をもって歌う歌もある。顔も知らない人どうしでも、共鳴し合える何かが欲しくて、歌う 歌もある。今日は、ふたつめかな。多分さっ。

They talk about singing? (google translator.. @_@)

Today, I'll hold my head high and live with all my might. So I will have no regrets. That's why I sing.

I sang, I sang-- Sometimes, I sing songs for myself, to save myself, to cheer myself up. Sometimes, I sing songs for someone else, to relay my thoughts, to give them love and courage. Sometimes, I sing for people I don't know, to let them know I understand them. Today, I sing for the second reason. Mostly.

I love this woman

[Luja.]

Seems like she is very thoughtful lately about what's important to her in life.
I am very excited about her latest tweets, especially the ones concerning the album! I know she has been optimistic about all her albums (at least since the time I am around here at AHS) but also all her albums and her excitement about them never failed me. I always loved them. So as long as she keeps calling her upcoming albums the "best ever", I am happy
