I have a lot of faith in Ayu--although there are some album-only tracks I don't like, there's never been a full release I didn't like--so I typically feel comfortable buying her new music releases without previewing them in full first.
I used to buy the overseas pressings of albums, singles, and arena tour VCDs locally--through the BLUE BIRD single, after which the store closed. Now I pre-order the first press of albums and arena tour DVDs from Yesasia. I usually pre-order the CD+DVD singles, too, but now I'm going to try waiting for the overseas versions of the CD-only versions instead (I was going to wait for the overseas pressing of L and crossroad, but I gave into the temptation of posters featuring all of her single covers. Sure learned my lesson...). I mean, now that she's bolstering the CD-only singles with remixes--and she releases at least one original album every 12 months--there's really no reason to buy the CD+DVD versions.
Some of her older, pre-I am... singles and remix albums I bought off of iTunes or picked up at a significant discount from places like Book-Off.
I never buy a-nation DVDs, and I only purchase the COUNTDOWN LIVE DVDs with exceptionally good tracklistings/discounts.
