A little confused...
 

I've actually been wondering this for a while. If Fairyland is released August 3rd, shouldn't it be released today already(August 2nd in the US) since its already August 3rd in japan....??

Yep, it's out in Japan right now. :)

well, since it's already August 3 there, then sure it has been released! i dont really know the time zones and differences, it might be too early in the morning for anything to happen yet........

Yeah, there's a half-day time difference between the East coast of the United States and Japan. So the afternoon of the 2nd here would be the break of day of the 3rd there. It's just a matter of what time the shops open now.

Oh..so it IS released? I assumed it wasnt bcuz of Ayu's website..it doesnt say "in stores now"..but i guess avex is usually slow with Ayu's webbie..

Yeah, they'll probably update it a little later in the day or sometime this week. Wow, is fairyland really out already? I can just see Ayu fans running to stores.
Fan: Do you have any more CDs of fairyland?
Store guy: Sorry, all sold out. Everybody ran for it today!
Fan: (deep slow-mo voice): Nooooooooo!!
:D

^ haha sono tori! ^^ too bad Ayu is not known in Sweden or even europe =( Can picture me all the fans rushing to get the single XD

sometimes the stores in the US will sell the cds beforehand, since they get the shipment before the actual on-sale date. then instead of waiting for the sale date they'll just go ahead and start selling it (this is how i got hikki's DISTANCE album before it was "released") :P

yeah, i'm gonna go to my store to see if they have it!

My yesasia pre-order of fairyland said it shipped out "August 2nd" so in fact it was released here the second!

yes it's out today!!

weee~!!

my dad is in HK now and he said he bought the fairyland single on the 26th August, and thats soo early, hopefuly my dad didnt buy a bootleg :(
