Again, I'm still not sure how this will affect future Ayaka Blu-ray releases...I might have to use YesAsia just because of what @ILoveGeniuses said above. Or I'm going to have to try to end up using Tenso to create a loophole...

Seriously, Avex, this isn't the right way to spread J-pop around the world. We're already suffering from Sony's mostly-protectionist policies of YouTube videos (most not available outside of Japan, and even so, here's what I'm going to say next), and then again, since I live in the US, I'm also affected by the YouTube Red block which blocks out certain big labels such as Sony (if it isn't blocked outside of Japan already) and Victor (e.g. Leo Ieiri)...hearing an Avex policy and shipping ban like this is the last thing we'd like - or hate - to hear.
