What in the world?
 

Ok, guys. I went to the anime shop in dallas called anime pop and *gasp* found a couple ayumi hamasaki cds but lo and behold, the company in the back of the cd said it was released by Miya records. So, is miya a branch of Avex or is there something going on? :thud :shrug

lol it prolly not the real thing...

miya is a chinese company i think.

miya are bootlegs. I saw alot of fake cd's in Colonial Dr under the name of "Miya" and they were bootlegs.

oy :(
 

i thought so. should i tell them to stop selling those bootlegs? or just let it be and not buy them. btw, at animecastle.com they are selling avex as well as miya so be careful when u buy cds from them. :thud :no

I don't think they'll take any notice.. or maybeh they would.. would they care as long as the cd's were selling

oh damn i hate bootlegs, got to be relli careful!

seems i've seen some of those sellers on ebay.

despite Miya being a bootleg company, they're packaging is still somewhat decent. I don't mind buying bootlegs, but if they're priced as much as an original I'd be an idiot to get it. However, I ALWAYS buy original ayumi stuff. :D

I'll have to be really careful when buying new stuff. I tend to go crazy when I find Ayu merchandise...I gotta make sure it's the real deal ><

^yeah, i bought some bootlegs on ebay when i first got into ayumi. i didn't realize they were fake for a while. i have ayu-ro mix 1, but it has a vcd of a clips with it too, and the cover is the picture from a clips. its so...crappy. haha.

Yes, Miya Records products are bootlegs. I got one...

Yeah... the first Ayu cd I bought was a bootleg... I didn't really know at the time when I bought it... but when I opened it... tsk.... in the booklet, they had several pictures of flowers, Matsu Takako, and Howie from Backstreet Boys... hm... nice Ayu booklet, eh? ^^; And the cd was poor... it skipped... ^^; So I learned real quickly after that... I sometimes buy bootleg stuff, but it's very rare now... I'd rather have the better quality versions ^__^

yep, miya is definitely a bootleg company. i think the only official distributors of avex items in asia are china record shanghai company (china), what's music inc (taiwan), avex asia limited (hong kong), and sm entertainment (s. korea).

Who cares if you buy a bootleg? I have like 3 I have 2 Ayu cds and a Initial D CD. But my books were filled with awesome Ayu pictures. I honestly dont care unless it didnt work. I saw some bootlegs in japan also though. Hell I have bootleg wall Initial D scrolls and they are a hell of a lot cooler than the Official ones.
