If you happen to make it down to the Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas area they have tons of Japanese stores there, as well as Chinese and Korean. You should be able to come across some Ayu related things there. I thought I would never find anything Ayu related in my town (Tucson, Arizona) but I found A BALLADS at a used CD store here. I bought it as soon as I saw it.
And it's not a bootleg!
Good luck to you~
