I so have the butterfly clip from loveppears yay!!!
Finally got a closer look of it.


I love rainbow and five buttons.

It's also sold out at Amazon. I am glad I pre-ordered early, like when it was announced.

Damn, I just want Party Queen PLAYBUTTON :no

Limited quantities, that's why you should've act quickly... (tbh, I did not order them)

Is it still available at yesasia, I saw that cdjapan don't have them...

Was wondering where to get them in Japan, I'll reach on 3rd April, or would it be sold out too...I don't feel like buying online when I get actually go to the store in a week time and buy in Japan directly, save the shipping cost

Party Queen PLAYBUTTON is back to Amazon.jp, act quickly if you would like to get one.

^ Thanks! but I decided to buy NEXT LEVEL because the button is much prettier :3

^Yeah, NEXT LEVEL is really cool! I decided to cancel the Party Queen one.

From GUTS_RUSH's Twitter. They look so cute!

^They are so cute, I wanna have them all.
By the way, who is GUTS_RUSH?

^ her manager

^I see, thanks!
And I want to know when will the design of the Party Queen PLAYBUTTON be officially announced.

Can someone buy me all the Playbuttons? I'll marry you. Trust me, I'm worth it. ;)

Well, he's not really her manager, I think... he's sort of more like an equal to Max when it comes to avex? I think he's their CEO as well.

ooh they look so pretty and small *--*

Taking a second look at all the PLAYBUTTONS. ;)

The Secret one is a horse, right? What does the GUILTY one symbolize?

Getting harder to resist buying these...hm...

For GUILTY, it has a big "G".:P

^^I thought it was just a leopard print?

Um...why can't I find these on CDJ or amazon.co.jp? Are they really limited and sold out already?!?!??!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


**** please tell me this isn't true. YA has them but I HATE YA because they're so expensive!

^Amazon.jp ^^

^^LOL I was gonna post the link and OyTony was faster I guess. :)

Now it's so difficult to decide which one(s) to get... What are you guys getting, Pieces and OyTony?

^^Do we know if they're, like, a limited print though? What exactly does the limited edition mean?

If I want to go and buy a few in a few months, will they be available? Ahhh I need to know.

And man, why are the older albums the same price as the newer ones? Not fair. A song for - NEXT LEVEL should be discounted, like 1800 yen. smh

ayuuk -- I want them ALL, and if I have to buy them all now, then I will...I was hoping to be able to buy like 5 now, 5 in a month, and 5 the following month...but if we think they won't be available, screw it, I'll buy them all now...lol

oytony-- THANKS for the link! not sure why I couldn't find them.

@ayuuk
I will try and collect them all. They are so cute. *_*

@Pieces_of_SEVEN
A BEST and Party Queen are sold out at some shops so I will buy them first. =)

^^Yeah I noticed that! I think PQ and BEST are sold out everywhere online...

^I ordered my Blu-ray box set from Amazon, and I seem to remember you also did the same, right? Are you able to combine orders?

I mean, I want the box set and PLAYBUTTONS shipped together, but I wasn't able to do it at Amazon. I emailed them, but their instruction says you only see "combine orders" when it's applicable. If you don't see "combine orders" that means you cannot combine them. How about you?

^Possibly? Never done that so not sure, but if you email them they may be able to assist you. Better do it soon though, they will probably start to ship orders out soon.

Which playbuttons are you getting?

^So you are gonna order them separately (from the box set)?

Still deciding between LOVEppears, Duty, My Story, NEXT LEVEL @.@ What about you?

^^I don't know! I'm kind of an all-or-nothing kind of guy. Ideally I want them all...and while I can afford them all right now, do I really want to throw away like ~$600 on something I already have? Plus the $200 that's about to come out of my account for the PQ Box set? Lol so idk, I'm undecided...

So you ordered all three versions of PQ plus the box set??

Yeah I wish the PLAYBUTTONS for older albums were cheaper...

^^They should be! Such a rip off.

And no, I only ordered the blu ray box set. But if it turns out that the CD+2DVD that is in the box set is much different from the one that is sold regularly, I may have to get that.

And I'm gonna be looking everywhere for a nice, big Party Queen poster lol

^You get posters from Yahoo acution??

^^I've never used that before. All the posters I own (and I own a lot), I've gotten from YA, CDJ, or eBay.

I'm open to using Yahoo Auctions though...it is simple to use?

Wow where did you get the bigger size pictures? Do you have them for the rest 15 PLAYBUTTONS? :P

YA has the PQ Playbutton in stock again *_*
But my refund from my cancled Livestyle book isn´t booked yet >< Think I´ll order it anyways and save the YA Credits from cancellation for the Ayupans^^

what do you mean its different????

There's NO difference ... :rolleyes

The first press version of CD+2DVD (not in the limited box) just has a transparent sleeve, bounding CDL DVD + Album case together.
The album is the same as the one in the box !

The only one that could be different, it's the regular version of the CD+2DVD, because it has the 3 discs in ONE case (so the DVD case for CDL isn't here anymore), just like the A BEST II.

^ok, thats what i thought! thanks!!!! :D

omg ***** attitude.

@Pieces_of_SEVEN, I don't think it's worth to collect those. I mean, you already have them and they're so ridiculously high priced + it's eye candy for the first few days but later on it becomes less valuable with the second. I mean like come on! Better buy something else with that kind of money :innocent.

What ?
To me it's obvious that there's no difference between the 2 versions.
But I didn't want to hurt anyone (but I don't how the hell could I hurt someone with what I said...)

You're right, it's just so hard for me to resist since I'm a collector. :(

good to know, good know, sanks for the info! :)

I hear ya, me too.. I`m gonna admit, I bought the Party Queen button, cause the style looks pretty rad.. plus.. I just wanted a PlayButton, hAha.. Most of the other buttons look a little lacking.. If they were much cheaper, eff, I`d buy more. They`re a cool concept and marketing tool none the less.

You should get all of them before they sold out as they are produced in a limited quantity.
It will be hard for you to collect them all in the future.

Party Queen PLAYBUTTON is sold out again at Amazon.jp

^Along with Party Queen, A BEST, A Song for xx, LOVEppears, and MY STORY were also sold out at Amazon yesterday and today, but when I checked the website again just now, they restock some but those will only be available on March 25. So, is everyone done ordering one or some or all of them? :D

^ Amazon.jp has restocked all 18 PLAYBUTTON, but some of them will be available on 25 March, and some are 25Yen cheaper.

I only hope that that the buttons will still be available when I'm in Japan next month... (T__T)

I wonder were to get them tough, normal CD Store? ( Iam also in Japan next month, when are you there?)

omfg I want to buy them all. $685 wtf

I thought it would be like $720ish?? Where do you get the price, $685?

^^from amazon.co.jp including shipping.

I WANT TO DO IT SO BAD. But I just feel weird spending that much on something I'll never even open...it's just for collector's purposes...and personally, I don't care to have any if I can't own them all...it's an OCD/collector thing.

Still debating...I may do it...

^ Gosh... $685 + your recently purchased PQ Limited Box, it'd would be such a huge Ayu-money-black-hole x____x

^^I expect to spend about $1000 a year on ayu ... but if I buy all the playbuttons + the blu ray PQ box, that about puts me at $890 already this year...and it's not even April yet ... LOL AHHHHHH

3rd to 9th, i'm trying to catch the 8th show and grab my ayupans! They are so much cheaper without the shipping fee. I'll then sell off the extras or trade if I am THAT UNLUCKY to get a set, considering I plan to buy 40 of the, god better don't play a joke on me again....
Do you have me on fb? Add me at yume_no_rui@yahoo.co.jp. But please do not mention anything about my trip as I do not want my colleges to know, and there are on my friend list.

^Did you win April 8th tickets? Please share some pics with us if possible. Btw which PLAYBUTTON are you getting? I already got 9 of those, crazy ain't I? If you are so concerned that it might be sold out why don't you order the ones you want the most now?

About the ayupans, you are getting 40 of them?! I ordered 14 and thought that is already a lot. LOL

still can't believe I bought ALL 18 playbuttons. fml.

^You should be happy! Man, so sad I ordered from mu-mo (wish I were like you, just ordered from Amazon, but too bad at that time some were sold out there).

I just got an email from Tenso, saying that they couldn't ship PLAYBUTTONS because they contain lithium ion battery, and they advise me to return them to mu-mo. :(

What should I do? My Japanese is limited, and I don't know how to return items to mu-mo and get a refund (never had this problem)...

Help please!!!

^Omg that sucks! I wish I could help you. :(

Umm...just thought of something. Am I going to be able to charge this in the US? Uhh...

@Lacus
Ah ok, thought you may stay longer, I´m in Japn from 18th to 28th.
I will go the Fukuoka Show (altouth that means I will have to drive 3,5h with train to get there (and back again in one day xD), because I only planned to stay in Kyoto+Tokyo xD
But Ayu is so worth it and I don´t know when I will have the chance again to fly to Japan.

ayuuk only tenso can't ship items with lithium ion battery or that's not allowed to ship it from Japan at all?
maybe you have some japanese friends who can help you. get your playbutton from tenso and send it to you

It's great to have them all before they sold out. You got them from Amazon.jp?

They're cute, if I could afford them I would get some, but they're a little too pricey for me. That and I don't love the designs one some of them, and the ones that are really nice happen to be the albums I don't care much for. Though getting ASFXX is very tempting. Is it weird that ASFXX has the highest number of my favorite Ayu song within an album? I like (m)u as an album, but the design no... and the design for the best album are just too dull. RnRC and NL has nice designs, but they really aren't my favorite there a very few songs on there that I truly enjoy.

I just want the A Best button, as that album contains my fav songs more then others and is my most memorable album, it change my life.

As for ayupans, haha I just had to make sure I'll get a complete set this time, last year I ordered 25 and still short of 3! Now that I'm in Japan, I wanna make sure my chances are much better, afterall I can just sell off the extras.

I can help you a little. If tenso can ship to hotel, maybe you wanna have them send to my hotel, send to the reception, and i can collect from them. then I can send them out for you once I reach Singapore. I'll be in japan from 3rd to 9th April.

I wonder if the batteries are replaceable, because no matter if you use the playbuttons or not, batteries are going to die after a few years.

Thank you so much LacusClyne. I will contact Tenso. Can I have your email please? Thanks again! :love

wow, nice score!

Yeah. I have a weakness for things that are "limited edition". :thud

Umm...so yeah, anyone know if we'll be able to charge these things in the US? Wattage and all...

Yup. It's yume_no_rui@yahoo.co.jp

Let them know the date that I will be in Japan, so that they can plan when to send it. My hotel is in Shinagawa

That's so.. weird, lol

Can anyone tell me if there's any first press for this? Or is it limited? As Yesasia says "First press limited edition" o:

Edit:
Also, can someone explain the meaning of the number on Memorial Address? I know there's something about it, but I don't remember.. where have it been seen before? Isn't it written with lipstick on a mirror in the original booklet, or?

^^I don't *think* the playbuttons have a first press? But I do believe they're quite limited.

As for 0630 - not sure if it was a rumor or if ayu said it, but it's speculated that that is the date that her father passed. :/

MY PLAYBUTTONS ARRIVED YESTERDAY!! GORGEOUS! And so tiny!

^ So cute with the mini-plastic bags *.*
And how the backs look like ?

Suddenly occurred to me how jarring Party Queen's cover is amongst all her other covers LOL!!!

OK, since you asked, I took pics of the backs :)

^ Those are gorgeous. I want to order them as well!

^^Yeah, I've been admiring them so much since they arrived! :heart love

her father? do we really if he's dead? i think it's the time when her grandmother passed away

nway niiiiice and cuuuute those playbuttons! gosh! im thinking about buying it too, how it cost you to buy all?

Thanks for the pics !
They're so gorgeous ! I want one or two now ! XD
But... will you listen to them, at least once ? Just to check the sound's quality ?
Plus I wonder if there are the hidden tracks as well (on LOVEppears, I am, RAINBOW, A BEST 2 black & FIVE) ?

I'm going to check out one of them later today.
I'm pretty sure the hidden tracks will be on there...I think these are exact copies of the original albums. Even the backs are the same as the CDs, just a smaller size.

As for ayu's father, yes, we're sure he has passed, but not sure if that date (0630) corresponds to the date of his passing. We know that Memorial address and teddy bear are about him :/

At first, I thought they were cute.. now, it's like.. AWESOME CUTENESS O.O omg omg..!

They really are the cutest little things ever! I love them. I would only buy them for novelty factor though not for listening.

^ I think it would be cool to listen to them too.. only for the look. How would you react if you saw someone having earplugs coming from their badge? Would be like the coolest thing ever.. xD

Wouldn't wear the A BEST 2 -WHITE- one though.. going to a school full of east-auropean, I don't think a badge saying nothing but "WHITE" would be a good thing :P

So I just tried LOVEppears...and I was pretty disappointed with the sound quality, compared to how LOVEppears sounds coming from my iPod touch. Oh well, not like I'll be using them. They're cute though.

LOVEppears playbutton
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y13...X/IMAG0009.jpg

I wanted to buy some, but then saw the prices on YesAsia, with my budget atm it is impossible to buy them T_T

^^YA is always too damn expensive. Go with amazon.co.jp or even CDJapan!

That depends on were you are.
I am ALWAYS more expensive with CDJ than with YA ;)

^same here :yes I love YA shipping service,they're amazing!(sometimes)

^^That's weird...their prices, before shipping, just always seem so ridiculously high for me compared to CDJ and Amazon. And between those two, CDJ will sell things at standard list price, while Amazon will usually knock a few hundred yen (or more) off the list price. That's for me though, and I'm in the US

CDJ is cheaper about the price itself, but at the end, with their huge shipping fees, I think I prefer YA xD

^
^yeah...the price without including shipping at other stores is cheaper,but when you add the shipping cost YA is the best choice for me.When i ordered A CLIP BOX from amazon i had to pay 73 euros for custom charges...

^^I guess that makes sense. I wouldn't know about customs charges, thankfully I have never had to pay any!

Lucky you.
All my CDJ Japan orders over 22€ (that´s the tax mark in my country) were hold by custom and i had to pay tax.
With YA I only had to pay tax once since my 8 years I order my stuff there, and as I am in Germany I can get all tax that I paid back in YA Credits^^ Plus for heavy itemns like the PQ Box YA don´t charge extra shipping fee afterwards like CDJ. (I really started to hate CDJ seriously xD)

Have you tried playing with the EQ button? Mine seems ok. Though I was frightened @ 1st when my right side headphone doesn't have any sound. But was okay after I replug my headphone =.=

http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/4...020320n.th.jpg

They look great! But the sound quality really needs to be improved. There is no bass at all... Lol but amazing collector's items... Bought from Yesasia.

just got my playbutton. one qns. how do i adjust the volume?

Are you using the earphone provided or your own earphone?

No bass? Now I really need to think if I wanna buy it or not... I refuse to buy it just to collect dust, i wan to be able to bring it out sometimes too, and if the quality end up poorer then my original files, what the point of getting it? Hmm...

yes the sounds quality is very crap i couldnt even listen to it. playbutton can't provide enough power for the earphone, so earphone cant work properly, thats why the sound quality is so bad....:headache i dont understand how they can release them coz there is a big designning error!

^

this whole thing is disgusting --' now i see no point buying this sh-t. [tho them stil cute]

press and hold the << or >> for the volumn. Those who find the music unbearable, have u tried meddling with the EQ???

Yup I tried the eq. it changes the sound of the music and blocks some other details so i still prefer the default but have no bass... I bought it for collection only haha... Still stick to listening to the cd...
