^* Just because they sold out first press at CDJ - or even if they sell out at all Internet stores, even - that doesn't mean all 400k copies are already sold. The Internet doesn't get every first press copy; there are some lingering around at other stores besides CDJ, along with real life stores, I'm sure. Every place, be it "real" or Internet stores, gets X amount of first press, along with Y amount of regulars, and if they can reorder when they need to, they do.

at least its a good news.i guess this is the first time that ayu's first press item sold out so fast(not include NL USB) at cdjapan?
i remember r/s and d/g first press is still available months after its release date

Now what's this all about?

^ Google Translator?

This album is amazing, I can't stop listening! I loved NL but this album kicked its ass :yes

anyone have seen Lady Dynamite PV making off shot?
starting from 1:04, why do i feel that Ayu look kind of annoyed with Shimoko's explanation of what she should for a scene?
Ayu kind of like just obeyed what he said but not looking at him at all, but her expression was kind of annoyed or something~

^
I was thinking the same...but if she don't like him she should stop to work with him.
The whole making of was weird....the guy is really scary. XD

Î KNOW!!! She must felt terribly awkward...but I think she did it her own way in the end..and she was fierce

lol ayu always looks like she's having so much fun with kazu, she's always laughing with him etc, which makes me think we'll still be seeing a lot more of him in the future :( Well, as long as she's happy..

has anyone heard anything about ANYONE getting the hand written lyrics sheet(s)?????

Remember when someone from Ayuchina got the Sunrise lyrics?

^ well im going to get a limited box today---sooooooo
lets hope i get lucky~ LOL but honestly...me .....and the chances of getting one are 0% since i already have the worst luck in the world..

hmmm Ayu did laugh a lot at the very end..
but from the beginning, she seemed so quite..and just obeyed what Shimoko asked her to do?
i kinda think that Ayu didn't really like Shimoko's idea for certain acts/scenes..
but yeah wondering why, she still uses Shimoko haha XD

the dancers ARE OMG..haha..specially GOMI..
what's with that outfit! O_O

Dokiyo, what Kinokuniya did you get it from? I KNEW kinokuniya would have some :P. I need to call right away and have them hold one for me. The didn't answer me yesterday, they better today :grumpy.

Finally!!Yesasia sent to me an email saying that they send to me an "ayumi hamasaki Rock'n'Roll Circus B2 poster (Type A)"!!!(the poster is not the cover of the AT09,right?it is the one of Ayu looking at the front,right?,so it seems at last I won the lottery too!!!apart of the A complete random gift!!!n___n

Yeah but do first press editions usually sell out THIS fast. The album has been out for only a day. Usually FPE last at least a week or so! Even if it's just from one online store, right?

this morning at HMV you couldn't buy the CD+DVD because it was sold out, but now it's already re-stocked.

That's true. It did seem to sell out faster..... Then again, I don't usually pay too much attention, since I've only recently been able to buy albums when they come out, so yeah. XP
Well, I guess it must have sold at least fairly quickly, since sales are doing pretty well. :yes

It was only posted on ayuchina, someone from a japanese blog got the Sunrise Lyrics

It was someone that posted them on mixi.jp, haha.

I saw a blog post at ameblo that said "AGH! Someone at mixi got one! SO LUCKY!" or something.

seems for commemoratin the relase of RnRC they will make a draw in each show. In the venues each seat will have the paper with info (?) and people will have to put this with their mobile numebr (or personal info?) in a booth. 1 hour after the show they won't be accepting more papers. They will make the dran and 100 people in each show will win a set of 10 postcards that are pics from the AT 2010 RnRC.

^^

THIS IS SO UNFAIR!!! ayuuuuu, why didn't you do this for Saitama shows as well?? :no

^oh I got it right?? *-* didn't missed anything??

yeah... I thought of you all who went to the first shows... -____-

I guess they had to get the pictures from the first two shows to print them for the draw??? Seems unfair though....
Cool idea though...

You got the idea right, though the method's a little different. :)

Basically, after the concert, everyone gets a ThankYou card with a barcode that can be scanned using a Japanese phone. Normally, the code brings you to a website, where you fill in a survey about the concert, and after that, you receive a personal ThankYou message from ayu.

This time round, in addition, there's an option that allows you to confirm your seat number. The winning seats are picked beforehand, and if your seat number is picked, you confirm it with your phone and bring your ticket stub to this special booth. There, you can exchange your ticket stub for the present (a set of 10 postcards featuring pictures from the London photobook).

There'll be 100 winners every show.

^
That's a really cool thing... I feel so left out being in the states! It's so sweet of Ayu to do a thank you message too for the concert goers, too.

Because the album hadn't come out yet? -hides-

Ayu's CD+DVD on Amazon.co.jp is currently STILL #1 above K-ON!! and the CD only is... #311, haha.

20 or so more people reviewed the album, and it's still got 4.5/5.

74 Reviews
5 star: (57)
4 star: (5)
3 star: (5)
2 star: (2)
1 star: (5)

It looks like people really like it?

^that's great ^^

^However, the reviews for the NEXT LEVEL DVD are horrible. :D A lot of ppl have given it like 1 star. Really strange.

A lot of those were disappointed fans who saw the tour, or they were just trolls who wanted to rate Ayu down who have since been banned from the Amazon reviewing system, haha. (Sunrise and You were...'s ratings = proof of this imo.)

It's weird though that people got to rate that DVD weeks before it even came out.

Rating the tour they saw probably, not the DVD.

Well, I finally called Kinokuniya but they said they were one of the stores that didn't get a set of the box sets. :( They have the CD+DVD though, which I might buy later on.

Hi guys/gals, I am a little worry about my order at YesAsia :( They have not ship it yet. Is this happening to someone else? I never had this problem. I emailed them already about something else, so I feel like I would bother if I keep emailing them asking questions that they might not be able to answer :S

If this is not happening to anyone else, then I will email them anyhow, but if it is not just me, then I will wait ^^

you are not alone.i know alot of people haven't receive theirs also.including those who pr-ordered at play-asia too!

*sigh*
Thank you very much! :)

I wonder what could be the problem they are having? :dead2

I ordered it at playasia and they already sent it though i have yet to recieve it :no

they sent yours already?weird.they haven't send toniayu's copy yet

Yeah they sent it the 13th of april :yes Its just that I still havent recieved it caus there was "mechanical problems with the airplane" O_o weird

I still have to get my box tomorrow from CDJapan, haha.

lol.whats that =.="
wow.not bad.they send it out one day before release date!

U.U you see? This is why I am worry lol. However those orders are from PlayAsia, not YesAsia, which is where I ordered :(

I must be patient, I know n.n''

I KNOW I was like O_o WTF!!! whats that ha! But oh well i just hope i get it tommorow cause UPS doesnt deliver on friday.



DONT WORRY GLITTER DAYS :) YESASIA IS REALIABLE but thats what suX about them that sometimes they just take toooooo long to actually ship the stuff. I had that happen to me with ARASHI ALL THE BEST 5x10, and i was freaking cuz all the limited edition copies were sold out everywhere. They took long to ship it but they did and i got it like 2 weeks later that everyone. BUt Yeah just be patient and i know wanting your copy makes it hard to be patient :yes

I had the same message on my limited box order from them too. Twice! I called yesterday morning and UPS assured me that it was in customs and is scheduled to be delivered Friday 4/16 (tomorrow yipee!) even though the website tracking said otherwise. Right now the tracking does show it's in California finally, but doesn't show a delivery date.

I'd say if yours changed from that weird mechanical message, you should be good to go hopefully.

Boy, I've spent so much on this album. And on random Ayu stuff this month, lol. No regrets though. :D Today I brought my RnRC poster to be framed with special matting and the whole 9 yards. It should be ready for pickup in 10-14 days. Cost $174 and that was a sale price! lol... but I think it'll look really cool over my desk here.

Well yeah but the message says that its in alaska and i live in texas :cry stupid plane why on the realeas day of the RnRcircus :cry :cry :cry i really want my copy now !!!!!!!! cost $174 to get the poster framed :yes Iam Aron how many invoices did u get when they shipped your copy????????

Thank you!! It really helps to read these comments :yes I will be patient, but yes! I do want this CD+DVD very much! so it is a bit hard. Anyhow, I will survive lol thanks to you ;) (and nanokopy87 n.n)

I got one invoice... for $149 and some change... and ya know, moments after I told you my tracking said it's in my state, it's now chnaged back to being in Alaska again. WTF... I think UPS is having issues, clearly. My tracking now says it's departed Alaska twice. After arriving in CA. Ugh. I just hope that woman I spoke to is right, about it being delivered tomorrow. Maybe we'll both get lucky. I feel worse for you though since it sounds like this is your only copy yeah? Luckily I already got my CD+DVD from CDJ on the 13th. They were awesome shipping so fast.

Yeah the poster framing is $174... you think I'm crazy? What is CRAZIER is the "regular price" before the discount I got. Their normal price for the same job was about $400! I'm excited, I think it's gonna look really cool framed. I'll take a picture for the boards once it's hung up if anyone's interested. :)

@ glitterdays no problem

cool so you really did get a huge discounts LUCKY! I got three invoices for my shipment i was like O_o .and my copy arrived to alaska yesterday at 6pm and today it barely departed alaska at 8pm TODAY stupid UPS I thought they were in transint all day what took them so long to scan and drive with my package just wondering. I knew it I knew I shouldhave gotten FEDEX when I checked out :headache and yeah thats my only copy so i really hope it can get home safe :cry all these these screw ups are making me worry :no

I am! lol I would love to frame the poster I think I will get from YesAsia too, but... oh well :P

Don't know if this was posted or not, but it seems the Korea Version is finally on sale at YesAsia. But it says it'll be released on the 26th - I thought it was going to be on the 16th...? :\

Damn why havent they updated the official youtube page with her stuff...I cant wait. I wanna post them up lol

So YesAsia have the Korean version, but where is the HK version ?
Or did I missed it ? O_O

They don't have it yet... I think...
I've been checking ^^

They don't have it yet ?
I hope they will.. soon :dead

YA shipped my box YAY XD

well my Mu-Mo packages are on the way too.. and I'll get them befor the BOX ^^

go to this link:

http://www.uta-net.com/user/ichiran....ct=4&Cselect=1

there are full kanji lyrics of RnRC's new songs
those are official from booklet i think~

Im also checking the Hk version lately @ YA but Play-Asia has it now.

Are PA and YA linked in any way? :o
PA also shipped my order!!!!! :luv2:luv2
Halleluja!
:P

^yeah XD halleluja!! hahahahaha

^yeah XD halleluja!! hahahahaha

LOL...

I'm so eager to get this album!
I've been so deprive of AYU music! I never thoguth I would keep my promise of not listening to new songs...:thud...and much less that I would be almost a month an a half without AYU's songs at all :dead2:dead2

So...yeah...I had to say HALLELUJA!

My box from PlayAsia arrived today just like the UPS lady said!

So hang in there Abby it'll be there soon! :)

The bad news (no lyrics (guess I'm unlucky lol) and no poster... Good thing I got the poster from the CD+DVD from CDJ... but I thought PA really would have had posters to send since the box is pretty expensive... oh well...)
The Good: Couple little nice surprises to me were the back of the mug has the RnRC "design" and I hadn't seen any pics that show the back of it. Very cool. :D
Also the NL DVD is 3 discs (!) and in two DVD cases, inside a plastic sort of slip cover that has the cool TV design on it. I love it. Gotta watch this today. :D

Pic below if interested :)

^ooh,mi box from play asia is shipped today,i really excited ^^

Congratz guys, i can't buy in the internet (4 my parents)
Unfair!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got my box from playasia yesterday

Thanks Aaron x_D
I will ^^
It is on its way here... so I couldn't be any happier :yes

I can't wait to get as surprised about the back of the mug as you :luv2
And... I won't say anything about the posters . . .


:D

Oh...adantatu2...sorry to read that u.u'' really =S

All the Box pics are making me sooo jealous. My regular old CD won't be in the mail for 2 weeks. >.<

I got my ayu-mi-x 6 vinyls framed and it was $300! :roflmao

We should trade pics when you get yours finished!


I really hope I get my box sooooon! I still haven't heard the entire album. :O

this is great to see that those who purchased from play-asia receive their parcel already :D

That sounds like a very nice idea to have framed. I could see paying that much for that since it's actual items put together. Yes, let's trade pictures when I get my poster back. :) I can't believe you haven't heard the whole album yet! Wow you must have very good self discipline. Not sure if I could have done it, lol.


OMG for those of you who have seen the new NL Tour, I just finished watching it a few ago, and I LOVED it. I had seen some mixed responses online but I for one REALLY enjoyed it. I especially loved the end of the main show, NEXT LEVEL (just beautiful), and rollin' and Sparkle were SO FUN. I'm really glad I got the box. :D

Apparently, some stores [HMV / Tower Records Japan] didn't get limited boxes at all, and in the places that did, all of the copies were sold out!

I wonder if they've sold all 25,000 yet? Haha.

This makes me want a box now. :(

I mean, I'm happy with my poster and my photobook, but I would've loved to have that cup.

Wow everyone has their boxsets shipped now it seems. My order still says "order on hold" I'm pretty mad right now :(

^Yeah no poster with my PA box either. I'm not *that* surprised... it's not a main focus for their site and they don't really know what's going on from what I can tell.

Be on the lookout on YA... sometimes they sell the poster by itself pretty inexpensively some time after an album's release...

I hope YA will save us on that xD
I really wanted a poster this time :( (I've never got one Dx)
Can't believe that....:shakehead
*sigh*
:laugh

@KuuXAyu-fan: you should email... where did you bought your box? .___.?
For "order on hold" I guess it is PA... so yes, email them :yes
But don't worry...if they didn't shipped your box today, they'll do it tomorrow ^_~

MY ORDER FROM PLAYASIA ARRIVED TODAY!!!!!! YAY:yes I LOVE IT

^
See! We ended up both getting it on the same day! Very cool. :)

Enjoy it! Ooh and let me know what you think of the concert because I loved it! :D

My box is currently waiting to be packaged by Crescent Shop and my CD+DVD is presumably on its way.

I still have this strange split order thing with the CD+DVD having been both shipped and pending to ship so that may be the poster...but I'm just excited to see what gift I won and to see if I got lyrics xDD

YEAH I KNOW IT ONLY TOOK HOURS FROM ALASKA TO TEXAS HA! OOOOO I LOVED THE CONCERT. Me and my sis had an AT09 night and she loved it as well. :yes BUT THE ID DANCE LEFT ME LIKE THIS O.o haha. BUT overall the dvd was great ayu as talented and beautiful as ever. I WAS freaking becouse i knew the package was going to be delivered while i was at work. my brother didnt catch the delivery man so he went running all the way to the beggining of my block to catch the truck and get my package I LOVE HIM FOR THAT :heart if not i would have to wait until monday

I begin to be just filled with sadness and worry, Playasia sent me a mail to pay more shipping, a few hours after I received it I paid without problem, but since 4 days my status is still : waiting for additional payment ( something along the line when translated ) I send mail everyday to ask what is going on and NO reply ! The payment info area is updated with my additional payment but nothing more.

I think I got it now, I won't get the box at all. I should had did as always order the album for my sister and not for me like this I would had be sure to get it. I have NO LUCK in life lol

I didn't listen to anything except Microphone, watched no PVs, stopped to read new lyrics, and this was a big effort, something I didn't do since My story or (miss)understood but now I don't think I will get a box. And to find a CD+DVD first press looks like it will be hard ... and lucky draw and posters are in my dreams if I may say now

Never been that sad and filled with disgust.

I've ordered mine on playasia
It's gonna be released on the 19th =D

On the 19th ? How d'you know ? :D

CD only is release on 20th
J-Pop - Rock'n'Roll Circus (Ayumi Hamasaki) at Play-Asia.com
CD+DVD released on 16th
J-Pop - Rock'n'Roll Circus [CD+DVD] (Ayumi Hamasaki) at Play-Asia.com

Do you guys think I need to wait for YA or just buy it from PA ?
Did PA had the posters ? For HK press..

nope.i don't think play-asia will give poster.just look at those who pre-ordered the boxset from them.they do not give posters

Oh.. Thanks for telling
I just hope YA will give the posters if not just forget it and grab the album!!
I want the posters though, i always failed to get them :thud

haha.i don't mind if they don't give me posters(its easier and faster for mr.postman to deliver the cd to me.)

I´v ordered my CD+DVD on play asia

Chill. They're just being slow. I think you will get it, no worries.

Mine is (shock) STILL "IN SHIPPING PROCESS" at CDJ. I ordered a CD, CD+DVD, and a boxset. They even credited my account the shopper points...I just don't get it. I'm gonna have to order elsewhere in the future. *angry*

^ That is very odd...... I'm pretty sure everybody else's was shipped. :\ There's still a lot of people, including myself, though, that have yet to get the order. There's always a possibility that they did ship it, but just haven't updated, for whatever reason.....
Why don't you email them about it? I probably would, at this point, hah. :innocent

Aw, I'm glad you guys got box sets :).

No! don't worry so much! (Look who's talking :innocent)
You will get it! you'll see ^^
These guys are just very slow and...well....very slow xD
You'll find a new status in your order next time you check...
Just don't check every 5 min. :laugh

Try being patient :yes
You're not alone as you may see =S

PD: Do you think there might be a problem with the orders to be shipped and/or that have already been shipped for them to come over here? USA? I mean...with this volcanic eruption in Europe? Many flights were canceled... Dx

I hope I'm just being paranoid LOL

Do you guys think its possible I may never get my boxset from PlayAsia? They still have mine as "order on hold" :(

^ I don't mean to worry you so much, but yes, it is possible that it means they are searching for remaining stock..... But since it doesn't say backorder or such, just wait and see. You can always email them and ask exactly why it's on hold, also.

email send to them,the answered you in next day
I wish you luck ^^

Thank you very much for your kind words.

Playasia plays with my nerves *frustrated laughs* my status changed AGAIN for preparing order -_- and now with the volcanic stuff I don't even know when I will see my box, the only airport "working" a bit is Marseille T-T Paris is off until monday from what they say. And again, they can delay more >.<. Lyon looks like to be off as well.

I got the idea to go outside and sing out load to bring the rain, maybe could help with that nasty cloud to disappear ^w^

What worried me is that someone else from spain ( dun remember name .-. ) here paid additional shipping same day than me ( from her/his posts date) and has already been shipped >.< but yeah now they are preparing one more time my order lol now will wait for "order shipped" status and possible customs because now EMS shipping -_-

But damn, as soon I order something just for myself I always go through load of problems XD that's why I've ordered a ring notepad from the actual tour and an Ayupan for my sis, plus old goodies, like this, it's not really my order XD

@Abby2009 : if I tell you that I checked every days since the 12th march, day of my order date XD was totally useless but couldn't help XD I'm hopeless LOL but it's my real first album just for me !

@KuuXAyu-fan : try to email them. I know that I sent a mail everyday since the additional payment with no reply from them but maybe you have more luck than me in life XD

When did you order? For you to think you might not get a box...it has to be because you think you ordered late, did you? =S
But...I truely think they might have it on hold becuase of this thing with the airports :yes
You'll have your box! ;)

OMG...your post made me laugh so much!...thanks! :laugh (I mean...you take it all with a nice mood ^^)

I'll sing too! if we all do it and the ash cloud disappears...we won't have delays! xD
Also...I (must) confess that I check my orders every day since the day I order too :thud so...:innocent

OMG THIS IS BRILLIANT why didn't I think of that

I'm also getting obsessed and worried over my status still being "on hold" now, 3 days after paying the additional payment...

But now it makes sense..

I'll sing with everyone to make the ash disappear! :) I want my box!
