but this whole 5 releases for the fans has turned into one huge joke.

I think the problem with this lies in the wording of avex' and ayu's advertisemnt and the false expectations they call up in fans - as usual.
Calling something "unique", "groundbreakingly new" or "special" when it really is just a normal set of releases in a different timeframe is bad because people expect god knows what. Even though we probably should be used to the exaggerations by now.
Wasn't it just like that with several things before? 50th single lead up for example?
If you look at the releases themselves and the timeframe they were released in without the super high expectations created by the advertisement, they are fine.

I wonder if Japanese fans see it like most people on AHS do?
I talked to a Japanese friend and she said she didn't mind the minis being included on the album as they all showed a train of thoughts by being released apart. Of course that doesn't mean that all Japanese fans think about it like that, but I didn't read about that kind of opinion on this board so far.

Anyway, I am pretty excited for the HLS Tour to be released on DVD, no matter in what context. 3 hours is a pretty long running time, isn't it?
And if and what will show up on the 8th of April.
