I didn't even know mine was to XD I thought Ayu put the 00 there for all albums. Yay I'm special C:

I know Secret and BLUE BIRD had posters for First Press.

i think all I Am.. CDS come with a long OBI mine does and i got it in the summer of 08

Is it possible you got first press without menung to? Where did you bug it from?

I know overseas versions were all first press of A Ballads and I am... cause mine are and I got the long OBI and slipcase
I think eneabba.net told me that :)

my I Am... has got a long OBI too, but it's a HK version. In general, HK (so OS versions) regular edition are the limited or first press edition of Japan. OS regular version of A COMPLETE ALL SINGLE comes with the box and photobook, like mine.

Today i discovered that the Single No way to say has a first press too:

the disc is different, like Free & Easy first press:

the very limited version (?) of kanariya comes with a special insert:

and we can notice that the singles Appears, Kanariya, Fly high, Surreal and Daybreak are limited editions themselves.

hmm yes you might be right.. plus the avex logo is the old one i guess.

mhh.. why I don´t have a No way to say with that snowflake? o.O I remember that I pre-ordered it back when it was released... anyone actually got this version?
btw someone told me long tiem ago that the Free&Easy with Ayu´s face is the 2nd press, the 1st press has only clouds.

I never seen "snowflake No way to say" neither. :thud

It's look like an insert in the case, or on the package, not directly on the cd. :confused

As i know, the normal edition is with her face, and the 1. press is only with coulds ;)

And thank you all! You've come with a lot of information i didn't know anything about :D

on eneabba, thay write that's the first press with Ayu's Face :thud

and for no way to say, it supposed to be a very limited edition, maybe just for TA or whatever, i duno

The First Press of Free & Easy is Ayu's face on the disk. I know it is

Why would avex rip everyone off with a bunch of clouds for a first press? Like srsly guiz

Thanks Blasterion ^_^

Unfortunately, eneabba doesn't say what first press items came with the CDs, only mentions Limited Edition Items (CD + DVD). Can somebody tell me from what single (or about) Ayu's CDs started having a first press? And what items were they?

I wish I wasn't so desperate for first press items. I'm a very keen first press collector, and won't buy the regular version if a first press exists.

Does M have a first press?

*EDIT* Do the re-issues of Ayu's early singles have a first press? I don't think the originals did, did they?

hmmm, I don't think the re-issues, nor the orginals had first press.. I've never heard anything about it.
and I don't think M has one either.. (first press ed.) but if anybody knows for sure?

and np ^^

it applies for both editions & both of them come with the same photobook unlike for (miss)understood's case

M doesn't have first press, i never saw anything like that.
but the re-issues of the first singles are themselves limited edition i guess.

the single [A] have first press too: the goldened-disc-and-booklet edition comes with a darker cover than other ones. The colored discs are limited editions. I think the regular version is the black disc, but i'm not sure. There's also a [A] with a golden disc, but it's not the first press. Look at the cover to be sure that's the first press edition.

The regular edition is the black one, and the colors are limited editions (incl. the gold one on the right)
The golden one with the darekr/golden cover was a special press afetr the single sold 1m copies. So it´s not a first press.

Thanks again guys ^^

Another question. Ayu's later first press singles come with a poster (Im not sure when her singles started being sold with posters). I often look on YJA and have never seen posters sold with CDs/CD + DVDs. Were/Are posters sold seperately too? And are they always B2/B3 (I forgot which is the correct size)?

Seems I'm a regular in this thread xD

Oh? Do you know how limited it was?

Nope sorry.
