Cool Buying Ayu... how do you do it?

So, how do you buy your Ayu CDs?

Do you get everything she releases? All versions?
Or maybe only the things you like?

I usually buy things as they come

Albums, Singles, DVDs not so much cause they're so expensive. Thank god for OS presses though!

I used to buy everything in CD+DVD + any possible extra, and for stuff like m(u) which had different photoalbums I bought both. But I've been broke since then, so all the new stuff I'll buy singles CD only and album CD+DVD, just that.
Also, I try to get OS since it's cheaper... ;-;

I've bought every album since RAINBOW (sans MY STORY), limited edition press always along with another edition if a CD is not included (i.e., NEXT LEVEL and Love songs). I have been buying her "special" singles since 2008 even though I usually do not and do not plan on buying any more. I hope she's done with it for now to be honest lol.

I only buy TW press and usually only CD+DVD versions of albums and occasionally singles I like~

I do sometimes buy 2 versions of a single to get the free posters~

But I'm going to stop buying Ayu CDs from now on lol

I buy when I can but I can't stop myself from buying the limited edition, I hope I can stop myself from buying the unnecessarily expensive edition.

I only buy albums, and so far, all in CD+DVD format, but maybe this year will change with Love songs c:

If I really don't like an album in the future, though, I won't buy it~ Or if I don't like the PV's, I'll only get CD only~ but as of right now, I have all CD+DVD since A COMPLETE

I tend to just buy what I like. I usually only buy the albums, unless the single version of a song is drastically different. Sometimes I might pick based on the cover, or whatever bonus good is coming out. Although I have bought CD+DVD versions of albums before, I don't watch the DVDs so now I figure it's better to just buy the CD versions.

I'll always buy studio albums no matter what... never buy singles..

buying singles & compilations is a waste of money

and usually i buy bootleg concert DVDs

I've been buying the CD+DVD versions of every single, album and DVD since I became a fan. I used to get OS presses, but now that I'm working a little, I buy JPN first press!!

I'm also slowly building up my collection, since I became a fan only in 2004, so I buy the old singles and albums 2nd-hand. So far, I'm only missing about 5 singles/albums. I feel better giving old CDs a good home, rather than buying a brand new one.

As for goods, I bought them when I was in Japan, and when I went for concerts. Now I don't really get any unless I really really like them. ^^

I have only been buying CD+DVD, but after Secret I had to stop buying, because of money problems, now after a long time, I bought Love Songs, which is a great feeling ^^

concert I am only planning on getting from 2007, since I was there myself ^^ and DVD I only have A Complete Clip Box ^^

^ I also regret, that I didn't order both versions of (miss)understood, off my day photobook was nice too (but since it was a present from my parents, I couldn't ask them, to buy me both, they would have seen me as a freak, why both versions, if they are the same XD)

If I have the spare money, I will buy all versions of a new release. If I don't, I will pick out one version to buy. I made a promise to myself that as long as ayu keeps releasing music I love, I will always find a way to purchase at least one version of one of her new CD releases. As far as concert DVD's go I don't really want to collect them because they are pricey... but if the concert is really that amazing I will buy it. I currently own just two, CDL 08-09 and 09-10.
