No, not really.. I would buy it myself for a friend, but the overseas version was only out for preorder like.. The day after I bought Secret for her instead >.<

I think I did... I made my friend listen to Sparkle, Rule, NEXT LEVEL and GREEN.. And then she suddenly ordered the album ^^'..

:(

people needs to be a little more open minded seriously

or we will get nowhere in this life lol

My sis-in-law was so all over the USB when it first announced. To my surprised she bought one (the encore edition) then it will be her 1st Ayu's album... ever....

Here no one even knows J-pop exists... so I can't influence someone else

Pssh I couldn't even get my co-worker to agree to keep Ayu's CD if I bought it for him today lol.

Only one of my friends likes J-Pop and she downloads everything :( Besides she's obssessed with Tohoshinki and only listens to Ayu when she's using my iPod

no... I have v lil frens who listens to jpop music.

At most I can onli send some Ayu songs those who likes jpop. but it won't make her buy Ayu albums though. lolz.

No. But maybe I'll buy a copy for my friend. He likes her, haha.

no..but i did recommend her new songs to them

no, bcos hard to find any friend of mine here who got love japanese songs

I have tried, but not yet succeeded. :P Two friends of mine said that they are gonna order (both are J-Music fans) but they still have not.:irked

If I were to influence a friend into buying an Ayumi album, trust me, it wouldn't be Next Level.

Nope, I've never promote to buy Ayu's NEXT LEVEL to my friends since they're mainly focuses more on "important" things than buying her album.

:*(

That's exactly what my sister said when I introduce Ayu to her.
It really hurts a-lot but I get over it since there are some people aren't that open minded.

They just focus on the looks only than the talent of the artist.

i silently put the Curtain call ringtone on my father's phone, he's bringing me to buy her album this week

no, cos i havent tried to :)

I convinced my friend Janna to buy all of her albums!!! she hasnt yet, but she has promised me that she will!!!

^ Your friend can easily get cheap second-hand copies of albums on eBay with sellers like mindofjapan and dora_ts7.

I don't think I'll ever convince someone to get the album, I'm going to try and get the anime convention I used to help run to play some of her DVDs in the Vendors Hall.... That will be so much fun! :D

I think I did this time actually! I gave the guy a link to my myspace where some of the new tracks are and he said he liked them so much he might buy the album :D *YES!*
