Type A (same poster given if you get either 1 or both editions of Rock'n'Roll Circus)

http://i42.tinypic.com/2d8f8tg.jpg

Type B (if you get the AT09 DVD)

http://i39.tinypic.com/a4lh0i.jpg

You get both if you bought the the limited box.

Poster that comes with preordering Rock'n'Roll Circus at the concert. It's B3 sized.

http://i42.tinypic.com/25qtzfc.png
From appears:
Pop-star ayumi hamasaki (31) has announced that 12 self-penned lyric-sheets have been enclosed within 12 out of approximately 400,000 initial pressing CD+DVD copies of her new album [Rock’n’Roll Circus] (released on 14 April).
She has stated that this is a surprise from herself to the buyer. She got the idea of distributing presents, and she enclosed the lyric-cards in order to directly convey the world of music.
She used her favourite pen in order to write on A4 size paper.
With regard to the 12/400,000 probability of obtaining one of these rare items, hamasaki has said, “I put a lot of emotion into writing these, so I hope they will be treasured by whomever receives them.”
Moreover a new song not included on the album, unconfirmed as to whether or not it will be released, will be a free chaku-uta present to fan club members who purchase the album.

High-res version of the RED LINE lyrics at Ai Candy:
http://www.ai-candy.com/archives/rock-n-roll-circus/

Regarding first press goods, basically -
A poster comes with a purchase of the CD+DVD / CD only, and there's a separate poster for AT09's DVD.
The photobook only comes with the CD+DVD and the CD+DVD in the box set.
There is a special access card with a serial number for a new song not in the album that can only be used by TeamAyu members in all copies of the album.
There are also various things like a lucky draw, but they're basically making this release as confusing as possible when it comes to first press goods.

First Press Novelty
『Novelty Detail』
S Prize: Original Spangle Bag
A Prize: Original Cushion
B Prize: Original Pen Stand
C Prize: Original Amenity Pouch
D Prize: Original Mini Tote Bag
E Prize: Original Mobile Phone Cleaner
F Prize: Original Key Chain
G Prize: Original Memo Pad
H Prize: Original Ball Point Pen
I Prize: Original IC Sticker
J Prize: Original B2 Size Poster or Original Sticker Set ※The poster will be folded for shippment

※Please note that the detail of novelty may change without prior notice

Both the album and concert DVD have different posters as additional first press goods. I believe the CD only has the type A poster along with CD+DVD, and type B is for the concert DVD. Amazon.co.jp will not be including the posters as far as I know. Usually Amazon orders don't include things like posters or lottery goods.

The limited box has both type A and type B posters as first press bonuses.


Buy from mu-mo special ayu online shop (limited to TA):
ALBUM CD+DVD --> Original Handphone Stand
ALBUM CD only --> Original Handphone Stand
DVD ~NL~ --> Original Pencase
BOX SET --> Original Handphone Stand + Original Pencase

Buy from mu-mo:
ALBUM CD+DVD --> Jacket Sized Sticker (CD version)
ALBUM CD only --> Jacket Sized Sticker (CD version)
DVD ~NL~ --> Replica of Staff Passcase
BOX SET --> Jacket Sized Sticker (CD version) + Replica of Staff Passcase
(all jacket sized stickers are the same design)

Buy from mu-mo Premium (limited to premium members):
ALBUM CD+DVD --> Special Sticker
ALBUM CD only --> Special Sticker
DVD ~NL~ --> Jacket Sized Sticker (DVD version)
BOX SET --> Special Sticker + Jacket Sized Sticker (DVD version)
(all jacket sized stickers are the same design)

Basically, mu-mo offers the same product at 3 different places on its site, and each offers its own range of free goodies. Depending on where you place an order, you'll get the free goods listed at that site ONLY. So unless you're darn rich and can afford to buy the same album/DVD/box set 3 times over, it's impossible to collect all those free goods.

Lol btw, the box set is sold out at all 3 sites.

ps: I meant "There are no extra mu-mo only goodies." if you order at the special ayu online shop. Read this post for explanation. ^^

Oh, I didn't know that you caught that earlier, haha. LostHeaven posted that.

And as for those TA only goods, I'll wait for actual photos of them to come up to put them in. They'll probably look better in real life anyway, haha.

C+R+E+AYUMI 12th April 2010 07:43 AM

15th thread! yaaaay! pressure's going on!

I can't wait my copy to be shipped.

Dokiyo 12th April 2010 07:46 AM

I have a question that maybe someone here can answer---
After canceling my order at CDJ and re-ordering the Album and AT09 DVD from YA- I checked my order and there aren't any posters listed, even though I definitely chose the higher priced listings that said posters were to be included.

Are the posters usually supposed to show up in the order or not?

nanakopy87 12th April 2010 07:47 AM

some many shipment units written there?by the way,the previous thread has not reach 500 posts yet

truehappiness 12th April 2010 07:48 AM

The posters don't show up separately, I think.

Though I think they showed up for people who preordered early...

Dokiyo 12th April 2010 07:50 AM

^ Hmm...maybe I shouldn't worry so much until after the order has been shipped.
:)

y_nathz 12th April 2010 07:58 AM

Yep, that's the code to get the medium ballad.

You need to have a Japanese mobile phone for it. You could probably send it to someone who lives in Japan like Misa-chan though...

freedreamer 12th April 2010 10:27 AM

^o ok..i will haha..
LOL guess what, CDJAPAN just emailed me to say my copy has shipped..

(and time to turn on sigs and avas)

nanakopy87 12th April 2010 10:27 AM

received the mail from cdjapan!!!they shipped my cd already!!!!!!

njanjayrp 12th April 2010 10:28 AM

I've just received an e-mail from CDJapan. My order has been shipped.

freedreamer 12th April 2010 10:29 AM

Woohoo! Me too! Just got the same email! :D

nanakopy87 12th April 2010 10:31 AM

yes!its in my country custom right now!hopefully they can send them to me on tomorrow

Meat Pao 12th April 2010 10:37 AM

Ok I'm seriously getting worried now lol. No e-mail from CDjapan regarding change to EMS, no email for shipping (neither is it showing it as shipped on my cdjapan account page), method is still Air Mail for my order... but I'm probably just panicking... I've never been so worried over a CDjapan order before!!

Is it weird if I don't receive the email from CDjapan regarding switching the shipping method to EMS when I have the box set? It's also in Shipping Process already but my order page still states it being shipped through Air Mail
You should really e-mail them about it. If you ordered late, they just might not have gotten to your order.

AngelSenshi 12th April 2010 10:40 AM

I just got the two e-mails (because I hadn't intended on buying both editions and ordered them seperately) and the method is Air Mail. I really really want to know if I got a lottery prize or something but I knew if it was with EMS and a box that big (because of the rolled up poster) it would get held up at customs and cost soooo much. So I'll continue to be patient :D

Meat Pao 12th April 2010 10:41 AM

^

I already emailed them last night but I'll email them again later today if I still don't receive a reply... and I ordered it on the day they listed it on their site (March 5 lol)

freedreamer 12th April 2010 10:46 AM

Erm guys..i just realized my photobook photos are huge...Do i have to resize them before uploading???...coz..then I'll have to reupload...geez

That's okay, I was just wondering which poster it was. I didn't open my Secret poster for over a year after I got the album until I was ready to put it on the wall.

Aga-chan 12th April 2010 12:35 PM

I just want to be sure, the lyrics sheets won't be in any CD-only, will they? It's just that the Japanese text posted doesn't state anything.

AyUmIXx 12th April 2010 12:38 PM

i'm watching HEY3X! right now..
and Ayu's performing Microphone~
the same gown like Music Japan~

nanakopy87 12th April 2010 12:38 PM

you still have the change to get the lyric paper even if you purchased cd only version

y_nathz 12th April 2010 12:45 PM

From the pics that someone posted on the previous page the album looks so good!! :D

Prices have already been added in orders, people talked about prices they won with YA since today there (including me lol).
If you have nothing in your order except for the album and poster, it means that you didn't win anything :/

WoWee 12th April 2010 12:58 PM

It's actually CD+DVD only.

The 12 random lyric sheets are in FIRST PRESS versions of the album only which contain the photobook. CD only basically gets nothing, haha.

12 out of 400,000!

This description is only under the SPECIAL LIMITED BOX and the CD+DVD.
★12枚限定初回特典:直筆歌詞原本(全12枚)をランダム封入
(初回出荷分の商品12枚に、ayuの直筆歌詞原稿が1枚ずつランダム封入されます)※1

12 piece first press extra - Hand written lyrics sheets (all 12 pieces) are randomly inserted... etc.

nanakopy87 12th April 2010 01:10 PM

i left 2-4 songs haven't listen.i've listened to dlb,microphone,slt(but forgotten how it look like) and lady dynamite(try not to listen more than once XD)
i guess i left 3 songs haven't listen?

to th: really?its for cd+dvd only?oh gosh.i didn't know about this.i thought its for both versions

miki_beland 12th April 2010 01:15 PM

I won something! Does anyone know what is "Hamasaki Ayumi A Complete -All Singles- Special Gift"??? Wasn't this supposed to be about Rock'n'Roll Circus?

freedreamer 12th April 2010 01:18 PM

^Lol now that u mentioned. I just realized now I have both covers to look at HAHHA

nanakopy87 12th April 2010 01:19 PM

I have the same as you!! xDDD

Abby 12th April 2010 01:37 PM

As nanakopy87 said...I also didn't listen to the three? new songs...
But I did listen to the ones with PV just once...except for Microphone xD I've listened to it like 1000 times (997 of the times were on the same day we got the rip @.@ the other 3 in the TV Shows xD)...
I can't remember well the other songs I listened. And I can't wait to listen to them again and listen the new ones!
Also I kinda stopped listening AYU for this months... just 2 to 4 song per month...
So I'm really deprived of AYU music!!! T__T
It hurts a lot x__D
But I'll be strong! I will kinda re-discover AYU when I get my Rock*n*Roll Circus L. B. :love

And... have anyone buying from PlayAsia won any gift? Were they giving any?

nanakopy87 12th April 2010 01:41 PM

abby,i don't think they will have the lucky draw thingy.so far i never seen they have such thingy. :P

AyUmIXx 12th April 2010 01:43 PM

Thanks. ^^ I read that, but just wanted to be sure. Because the other translation about the song preview states "This also is in the CD-only", that's why I was confused. ^^;

Heavenly 12th April 2010 02:11 PM

^

it's normal because with the box you get the 2 types of posters, and you'll get the poster type A with each copy of the album you buy. Then , the poster type B is for the AT09 DVD. And apparently, you won 2 lucky draw prizes ^^

AyuGAME 12th April 2010 02:11 PM

^wow...that's a lot of posters...i want one...LOL
