Would you pay US$240 to have a personalised song sung by Ayu?
 

My other favourite band, Saint Etienne, will be releasing a Christmas album next month. There are two versions:

i) £12 (US$ 19) for the numbered CD album
ii) £150 (US$ 240) for the numbered CD album, a personally dedicated Christmas card signed by the band, plus an extra CD with a PERSONALLY DEDICATED CHRISTMAS SONG, sung by Sarah, not available on the main album. This is the only way you'll be able to get this song! And your name will be in the lyric!

i am so torn right now, cos i want that personalised song but it's a LOT of money to pay.

so, if ayu's new album provided this option, would you pay US$ 240 for one song with your name in the lyric?

eff no because I'm not the only one with my name and is a waste of money

oh if ayu talked to me and sang a song just for me..yes i do!

If it was an actual personalized song made specifically for me, in a heartbeat I would. But not in your life would I pay for one where all they did was edit in my name like they are for hundred others.

my same thoughts. its not like its a song specially written for you, its just your name edited into the song.

although, if i could pay ayumi $240 to write a song just for me, i still probably wouldn't because at that price EVERYONE would have a song written just for them, and then whats the point?

Totally agree

Sadly, I probably would.

Yes if I had the money at the time!! That's really awesome!

No.

:laugh if it was for ME. Yes. I'd pay hella money for that.

For some random person? lol Hello downloads.

240 for that? That's actually pretty cheap for someone like Ayu tbh

Although I wouldn't

No way.

I would do it, definitely ^__^

That's just stupid. It would actually be meaningful if you weren't sharing the song with all those other people who got scammed out of $240....

depends on how they would personalize it, only my name past in, no way

But making a songs special for me, or if you're able to write a part of the lyrics the defently YES

No and I will not waste that much money just to have that kind of rare opportunity.

Couldn't agree more.

If it was for me yes. Not if it was just a song where she added my name in and used it for other people.

No, as others have said, they're just putting your name into a line of a song and anyone with the money can have their ~own~ song.

No, I'd only want my name to be included in a song if it were sung from the heart by the person who cares for me.

It all depends.. it's not that much money compared to what they could charge I guess :P

Nope

I dunno but, I wouldn't like it. I'd sound not so confident in myself, but what I've done for deserve a personalized song from her? I'm just one of her many fans. I'd rather another RED LINE song instead lol.

Dude I'd pay 240 just for any song to have my name AT ALL :laugh It's too unique~

No...it probably wouldn't be a good song anyways :laugh

No.

no, its not how I potray music. point of music is to be universal

She probably would butcher half our names anyway, ha.

Well, my name, especially its spelling, is pretty rare. So maaaybe. But, like others said, only if it was incredibly personalized. Not the same song that just had my name edited in.

For that price she could marry me...

:yes if only I have graduated my studies and have a job at that time.

I hella would. If it was original & wasn't just editing my name on there.

My name's a huge rarity soo yeah.

NEVER! we can buy something much more useful than an album with $240...=.=

never

Lol, no need for me. My name's angel, and ayu has ANGEL'S SONG already, plus Last angel too. :D

Anyway, no, I won't pay that much. If the $240 includes a chance for me to actually -meet- them, so they know that they'r dedicating the song to -me-, then maybe yes. If not, well, it's just a commercial rip-off.

I wouldnt either, my name is way too common :(

I don't like this idea at all. Ayu doesn't know me, so why should I want a personalized song from her?

If it was Ayu YES! Totally! I'd pay $500 for that (and more, but I don't think I would be able to afford it!)

Heck yes. And I'd pay unimaginable amounts if she wrote it for me.

Same lol

My name is kind of unusual so it's not like many other Kendelle's in the world would know anout Ayu and take the specialness of the song from me xD

My thoughts exactly~!! BUT if it was a song that wasn't like that, that was just edited, and sort of a song written in my honour (pfft wishful thinking haha) then yeah but...at the same time is it really worth the same thing if it was paid for? Who knows, but still, would be a beautiful thing to have~


On a random note, the pronounciation of my name can be heard in quite a few Ayu songs already haha Most notably in Will and in Sweet Season (though I think there are one or two more haha)

No...not at all.

I just now realized she has said my name in a song :p so I really wouldn't need to pay any amount to hear my name. Btw, it's Melody.

Nooo way :no I could edit my own name in for free XD

Probably not.
I absolutely adore Saint Etienne by the way :)

No! I am not gonna support millionairs xD No way. Or shall I say NEVER EVER? xD
But if she'd do it for me as birthday present for free, of course I wouldn't deny that offer.

me too... not for money =x

i don't care, i'd do it in a heart beat if i had the money. omg, that'd be amazing.

Only if it was specifically written FOR ME, because so many girls in this world are named Jennifer, I wouldn't want her to just edit my name into a song that everyone else gets. That is just ridiculous. Plus if it were Ayu doing it, I'm sure it would cost more than $240 to get it done. lol

lol

M - "personalized" lyrics

''Insert name Here'' ai subeki hito ga ite
kizu o otta subete no monotachi...

yup, $240...that's a waste.

I'd pay $240 for Ayu to sing me a sing though. Like, me sitting on a stool and her seranding me, lol.

Meh, no. It would just be so insincere. Not to mention weird. Blegh. :eviltongu

I think i would lose a great amount of my respect for her if something like this happened x_x

LOL I probably would...actually. I mean, my name (Ashley) is common, but eh, wth? It would be awesome for Ayu to mention me in one of her songs! Plus, $240 ain't all that much for something so rewarding :D. So yeah, if I had the extra money I would probably do it for kicks!

Oh i love your SOUTH PARK ayus, :luv2

And i can't pay that money, is so expensive

For a song, no.
For a signed card, maybe, but prob not...
I just don't have that kind of money XD but I'm in agreement with zelenk0.

never. i rather pay US$240 to see ayu or get to be close to her

No. With or without the money.

I won't probably be touched by the song because I will just feel that she made a (rush)song because she's paid and not because she wants to make a song especially for me.

If it was produced, mixed, and specifically written for myself-- then yes!

thanks for all your input! in the end, i got myself the normal version without the personalised song. i think it's crazy to pay so much money for one song!

Yes, but I certainly do hope ayu doesn't need to do this.

What a weirdly specific number... but no. It would be weird.

Yes of coooooourse! But USD 240 is pretty cheap for that

The number 240$ doesn't come out of nowhere :laugh. The first post of the thread is the following :
