Her stuff is very expensive to me. I'd love to have the real thing in my hands instead of the digital version, but the thing is CDs, merch and all other stuff is luxury for me and it comes not just for Ayu's stuff...

This.
Sorry, but I do download illegally. But there is a system I taught myself to decrease my downloads. As for Ayumi-stuff, I have bought the few CDs of her discography I love and mostly they were second-hand, a discount or the Hong-Kong version: because I am not able to pay the full price. I import the music from the CD to my iPod. But there are albums and songs which I also do like but I do not own them. I listen to these on the internet and when I have been falling in love with one song again.. yes, I do download it then. For new albums I always hope some legal previews could impress me. Yes: then I try to find a way to get the album. No: just download two or three songs you love.
Really, I would love to own her whole discography as well, but the chance to win the lotery here is a chance of one to some million.
