ASIA TOUR 08 in HD
 

ASIA TOUR 08 will be broadcasted by TBS so it will be broadcasted in HD?
You think it will be possible to download HDTV version of this concert??

Also second question about this tour: we will see the last show in Japan, is it that show when during MC session all acapellas were shown on screen??

Do you know when it will air?

Yes, previous concerts on TBS-ch have been aired in HD format. Unfortunately it's unlikely that the whole concert will be shared in .ts (on some private P2P network maybe but not made "public"). Of course, I hope that I am wrong, because HD is incredible. :yes

I will leave it someone else to answer the second question.

I don't think that acapellas will be aired.

TV versions of shows are usually shown virtually unedited, so it's entirely possible that we'll see all the acapellas if they were all shown.

^Nov 30th.

Asia tour in 1080i will be owesome!

WHY! WHY! Avex trax dont release nothing in Bluray :scry :scry :scry

^ oh it's possible that AT08 will be released in blu-ray~ well it's either this year, and maybe AT09~ hopefully avex will get with the times :yes

luckily...ayu still have many devoted fans, but i'm sure when they do, it'll be blu-ray and DVD..and maybe VCD too
btw, for japan versions of her VCDs, are the japanese lyrics embedded in the concert?

I don't think it would be too bad if they follow American standards, here a new DVD is like 20 dollars and a new Blu-ray is like 30.

Even if they release it in blu-ray, there's bound to be DVD versions so no biggie.

^ i just have laptop and with no blu-ray device, so i would not buy Blu-ray edition anyway((

I'm pretty sure a lot (if not all) of her concerts will be re-released in blu-ray when it's more popular just like they previously did with all the vhs versions.

Straying off-topic, but I don't think Blu-ray will knock out DVD in the way DVD knocked out VHS. I can't imagine blu-ray ever becoming more popular than DVD.

Thas sweet that its airing November 30. Not too far away!

Approximately 22 more days!

Oh! can't wait, really) i want to see this superb perfomances))

I wonder who will share it. It's not aired at the regular TBS channel (TBS and TBS ch. aren't the same) anyway so we cannot stream it or anything. Guess, there will be some generous ripper in the Japanese p2p networks, and from there it will be uploaded to jpopsuki.

That was the case with her CDL's anyway. As the rest of you, I'm also extremely anxious to see this live. :D

I imagine it definitely will be on Share..

However, it'll take forever to download even with the amazing speeds that one can get from there..

I'm guessing it would be uploaded as individual performances, a whole HD concert would be insanely huge.

Well, I received the .AVI conversion of CDL07-08 the day after it was posted on Share in less than 10 hours [it was around 2GB, I think?].. so perhaps they just won't post a .ts...

I really do want a AT08 Blu-ray release. They can fit all of the extras and such on one disk! And if they decide to do a two disk Blu-ray release.. then they can stick TONS of stuff on it.. (perhaps even two different iterations of AT08?!)

i definitely think ayu singing who chinese will be included in the bonus <3

A regular concert DVD is like 50$ right? I don't even wanna know how much bluray would be xD

but I don't have a big flat TV and bluray player anyway, so I don't care.

It is usually double the price.

Otsuka Ai's 4th Anniversary Tour was released in Blu-ray & regular DVD. Price is 2848yen for regular and 5800yen for Blu-ray.

Wow, considering Japan is the home country of Blu-ray, you would think it would be cheaper since it's domestic :dead2
