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.

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

I can't wait my copy to be shipped.

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?

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

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

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

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

Oh gosh 15th thread already ? The last thread was still 460 posts but whatever :laugh

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG I logged off AHS..went downstairs...within 2 mins..there was this van outside my house and this guy came walking to my gate. He held a box.

I FREAKED OUT SO BADLY...OMGGGGGGG

I RECEIVED MY ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and CDJAPAN still has it In Shipping Process)

....oh my.

People are now going to demand photobook photos from you, haha.

what???!!! you received your album???you ordered it from cdjapan???using EMS?

^^^That was fast! Lucky you.

And wow for CDJ being so fast and mysterious with their shipment~ hahahaha (
"In shipping process" ) LOL

They probably shipped it last friday. Nice

argh.i don't think i'll receive it today.its 3.28 pm already.mr.postman didn't come ring my doorbell :(

I've checked my status at CD Japan..
and it's "in shipping process"
does that mean they're going to ship mine? or they already shipped it?
since i've not yet gotten email about their shipment..
goshh excited for it..hopefully i'm gonna get it this week!

Congrats freedreamer! May I ask where you're located?

I have no idea when to expect mine here in California... Hoping mine already shipped too since I got the points and I ordered on 3/10... still in shipping process though...

OMG YOU HAD THE ALBUM ?? :dead

Oops since we're at a new thread already I shall bring the question over from the 14th:

Im from Singapore. I can only take photos of my copy because I dont have a scanner. Should I post them here??? Or...(how do i make spoiler tags..)

The album is REALLY COOL!!! It was a mistake to listen it first on my Surround lOL...sounds so spacious..but when i saw the PVs on my TV...OMG <3...

im gonna review it now :)
the makings are quite short actually but for Microphone, they showed u guys who were there in London!

You put it inside tags like this:

<spoiler] [/spoiler>

But with two brackets instead of the greater than/less than, haha.

just type [ spoiler ] bla bla bla [/spoiler ] (remove all the spaces.) hey,how come you receive way faster than me?i'm frm malaysia :(

Ô ok...im taking photos of my photobook now. Its actually as thin as GUILTY's lol

haha.expected .can snap a pic of the poster?sorry for being so demanding.i'm getting very impatient already :D

omg please tell me which day they show =O Did they show when she received A World Is One? Cause that'd mean I'm on it and I will die!

^I really not sure but it was maybe a 30s snippet. Ayu was in her normal british attire. Not PV shoot day or anything.
she spoke english on set...and the scene where the fight in Microphone occurred...she acted it out..not just some angry face hahha..it was cool.

I havent opened my poster actually...lemme get the photobook stuff first...
coz once i open my poster, i dunno where to keep it haha

OH YES...they showed RECORDING of SLT and Microphone's SONG..what a fresh image

can't wait for your photos freedreamer!!

lol.i see :D
take your time.i'm sure ahs will ahs anytime

Omg, You've already got the album!! I'll wait for your pics.

haha btw, i didnt win anything from CDJAPAN...all the best to those who have ordered from them.

(image-shacking)

haha.i wonder what will happen if one of ahs member here receive the lyric paper>.<
freedreamer,you use EMS or registered airmail?

Oh i guess realized there's this slip of paper inside about her Unreleased song..and there's this code...but im not in japan :(

lol.its in a piece of paper?i thought its a card like team ayu pass. :P

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...

^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)

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

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

HAAHA..u guys will get it soon :)
I love how the makings have the instrumental without background vocals...S/S sounds great in the makings...I think those two makings are so precious...u see all the fans

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

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

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!!

Quote:

You should really e-mail them about it. If you ordered late, they just might not have gotten to your order.

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

^
^
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)

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

Me too!! XD

Including the making-offs. ^^

Thanks for the pics freedreamer, the photobook is gorgeous. Did you get a poster with the album?

^Yes but...i dun really wish to open it sorry.

side note: Ayu was so weird in Lady Dynamite's making. I think she was scared of Kazu..O.O

I'm so happy the paper for the photobook is awesome.

I hope, mine is going to be shipped soon too!
I pre-ordered at CDJapan weeks ago and even paid a LOT for EMS!!

Can't wait to get it!! :heart

wow.perfect!i love it!i'm not regret to buy 2 copies of it

Waa~ congrats to you two who got your copies already!!
I fight not to see the pics LOL but thanks th and fd ;P

So...will someone watch HEY! HEY! HEY! today? ^^
I missed Music Japan...but I watch it (and download it xD) and thought it was pretty good! I LOVED IT! So I hope today's show will be good as well =D

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.

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.

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

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

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

I really like this show (with AYU ;P)
I wish I could understand it :(

Waiting for HQ of the show :D

I dont know if it already posted but i got mail from YA about the luckey draw:

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 :/

I WON something!!! WITH THE LUCKEY DRAW!!!! I dont know what yet but on my order said this:

Spoiler:

I am qurious what i won:)

Hi everyone. I decided to open my poster.

here it is.
the cd+dvd cover is there too hahah for size comparison

http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/2167/dsc09744k.th.jpg

wow.i thought you'll let it rot XD
the wording look toooooooooooo big o.O

^yea it is! about 1/3 of the poster hahha..but it was funny coz as I unveiled...it was as though Ayu was peeking thru HAHAH

and im really intersted to hear opinions from those who have,like me, stayed away from leaks thruout this time. haha...
the album has grown on me and I wanna keep going back.

Quote:

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.

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.

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

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?

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

lol.this is impossible to happen,freedreamer.
both cd and cd+dvd will receive the same poster,POSTER A

I have the same as you!! xDDD

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?

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

wow the poster is so NICEEEE!!
love it..
thanks for sharinggg!

Aww :( that's such a shame!! T__T

Then I'll hope for a lyrics paper? ^^ and...if I don't get one either... I'll :dead2 LOL but will come back to live thanks to the album :P

I have different quesiton. When does cdjapan charge my credit card? My album was shipped today and i wonder when they will charge my card, any experiences?

lol.however,its not 100% they will not have the lucky draw.maybe they will have it but they themselves didn't know it XD
thats what happened when they are accepting pre-order for you were single XD
its still depend on their supplier =.="

I made 2 seperate order from YesAsia. I put under spoiler so it doesn't take too much space in the thread.

Looks like I'm gonna have 4 posters, 2 of each types.

Also, I'm getting 1 random RnRC lucky draw gift, and 1 A COMPLETE random gift.

Interesting...... Lol

^
^
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 ^^

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

my albums are finally in transit!!!

But if it depends on their supplier, then I have more chances ^0^ *wishful*
This PlayAsia is really something...:no
Don't know what they sell? LOL

PD: @Neffiline: What a luck! Good for you ^_~
