but the price is cheaper in playasia than japan
in Playasia price are 124.90 dollars,is too cheap

Dare I ask, what is so great about blu-ray anyway? I don't know that much about, sorry for that, but loads of people seem to want it in so many places, so it makes me wonder why.

Basically... incredible (God-like, even?) picture quality that is unrivaled at the moment, haha. A standard DVD seems like a blurry mess after going Blu-ray.

You have to watch a Blu-ray to understand. It's GORGEOUS and crisp. An Ayu concert like AT09 would really benefit from being released on Blu-ray.

I actually hate Blu-Ray films cause they're SO detailed you can instantly tell it's filmed on a movie set. Me and my friends we're like "Ehm they're just walking around a set :S" I think BluRay makes things look more fake.

However, a concert would definitely benefit from it!! Since it's all real :D I'd love a BluRay concert (once I get a bluray player)

This is getting crazy :D ( already thread number 4 ) ;)

btw, you quoted my thanks to you ;) "(thanks for help truehappiness and everyone for good feedback. Please check these older threads too.)"

anyway, its not a big deal, but someone might think "why truehappiness is thanking himself" ... :)

This is probably gonna be my first "real" Ayu album! (yeah, i know, im just listened her on the "internet")

Sounds more like a crappy movie than a problem with blu-ray! :laugh

But yes, blu-ray is perfect for concerts!

Blu-ray is perfect for documentaries and concerts among other real-life situationy things that aren't filmed on fake sets or soundstages, haha.

I really do want to see every little pore on Ayu's face in concert... -pokes her face-

The only downside is that it will be painfully obvious when they cut to a standard definition camera as opposed to a high definition one.

However, since AT05, they have been filming with HD cameras so... THAT SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM.

Well, bluray has superb sound quality too, so concert on BR would be awesome!!

sorry for little off-topic....

edit: Yeah, hahah, maybe your right about that ;)

I am actually aware that the thanks is still there. There's no use taking it out since it'd probably be added back in there when someone gets the fifth thread, haha.

woow. Play-asia is so expensive. usually they price is the lowest compared YA CDJ or HMV

Ahh so that's what's so incredible about it then.

Thus far I have no complaints of watching my concerts with a regular DVD player, but having the feeling of really being there would be wonderful also.

Still, it's great to get regular DVDs, at least it's something. There are loads of jrock bands I know of that have great shows that never makes it on film and it's a real shame.

A comparison of Blu-ray vs. DVD if you want to compare:

View in 720p for best results.

Wow that really is incredible.

I must add; if I was an actress, I soo wouldn't want my stuff on Blu-ray; you can see EVERYTHING! I'd feel naked, almost :P

I too want Ayumi Blu-Ray discs!!

And thank you for the heads up with Play-Asia! I just ordered the Limited Box Set too! Even though I already ordered a first press CD-DVD from CDJ. LOL I am crazy. :D

Truehappiness, I compiled a release info from NL from TA website in thread II, there's sth that maybe you want to add:

- 03/03: tracklist published and 1 of the covers
That day we also had teh tracklist with 1 of the covers at the same time ^^

- 18/03: more chaku-uta (+33d)
The day you put as songs in chaku-uta were only for NEXT LEVEL song, because it had a CM, maybe we can expect Microphone and DLB on that day (11/03) but the rest of songs from NEXT LEVEL, the new ones, came on the 18th ^^ and the rest (more parts, PCDL songs, PV's on the 25th)

- 25/03: rest of chaku-uta

^^

So...all Blue-Ray does is make people uglier.

Maybe it just makes them look more human? What with imperfections probably showing and all...

You guys forget the number one reason to have Blu-ray...it's region free. I can't buy any of Ayu's DVDs because I can't play them.

Unfortunately it's not Region-Free.
However:

DVD: Japan = Europe (both Region 2)
BluRay: Japan = USA (both Region 1)

So people in the USA will be lucky from now on (sadly for me :(). But hey, I guess give it a few years, and then unlocking BluRay players will be just as easy as unlocking DVD players (which is just a matter of putting in a code now).

Most avex Blu-rays are region free, but there are regions. Like Region 1 / 2 / 3, etc... Japan and the USA are in the same region though.

That is why I went to YesAsia and got a Region Free DVD player. I got sick of watching them on the computer and using the old DVD player that could get hacked.
