Me too. But I'm guessing Arena Tour DVD... |

It was supposed to be about the fans, the two mini's both included onto a new album is not a gift.
and then announcing that its five releases of new music... just to have the 'new' album and now a dvd with no new stuff...
joke.

I agree. I know I'm quite surprised...but I'm quite disappointed about it, had I may have been more of an Ayu fan. But since I have to balance my Japanese pop interests with other artists (miwa, Sayuri Sugawara, AKB48, and even Yanawaraba...), I'm not really in much of an interest with Ayu today compared to, say, five or six years ago (remember Asia Tour 2007?)...

People are blowing this out of proportion imo.

Yeah, we've got to deal with it. They want some variety, we have to settle with it. Two mini albums, a special classical album, a new studio album and a live concert tour DVD...that's quite a variety.

Unfortunately, with her recent albums coming out around December/springtime, the live DVDs also tend to follow which are released rather late, at least by her previous standards. POWER of MUSIC wasn't out until just before HOTEL Love songs started, iirc.

Yeah, I'm quite disappointed with that, but we also have to consider about production time, particularly post-live editing...

You're right. But you can't blame people waiting for something original to celebrate an anniversary and being deceived in the end.
Again, I don't feel betrayed or anything of this sort. I just think it's sad... |
Agreed
