does anyone actually own the rarest of ayu singles?

[natalaxie]

i was browsing around and found out that kanariya, appears and fly high are highly sought after by collectors. apparently sealed ones sell for up to $60 on the net! it would be interesting to see if anyone actually owns any of these 3 singles

Several people here own those singles. Some say that Surreal is a rare single (which I own), but I don't consider it to be that rare, since there was more than 1 copy when I bought it at Kinokuniya. The 3 singles you mentioned are somewhat rare, but if you're talking about Ayu items in general, perhaps the most rare item out there is the M EP Vinyl, in which only 250 or so copies are known to exist!

woa!! 250 only?! i wonder where they r.....

Those 3 you mention becoming more and more common nowadays since alot of people sell them off on the net now. I have 'appears'. But the sealed Jpn ver is what's difficult to find, though I'd never buy a CD for the sake of keeping it sealed though. I have 'the OTHER SIDE' 2 & 3 remix singles (and some other people here do too). Those are rarer than appears/kanariya/Fly high I think. But excluding vinyls, from what I know the OTHER SIDE- one (Red) is the rarest since it only has 10,000 copies produced.

M EP Vinyl? What's that?

Vinyls are black 12" discs which were common during the 70s and 80s, although the format has been around for many years prior. In terms of the M EP, Discogs has some info about it (I meant to say 350 copies, not 250)

AHHHHHHH! I wish I would have known that sooner!I saw a mint copy on ebay a few weeks ago and I was thinking of placing a bid and didn't and it closed without a bid!

I'm one of those people who own appears, kanariya, and Fly high. I also have SURREAL and AUDIENCE too. And the first press of Free & Easy and Blue version of H. My copy of "A" is the first gold variant.

[AfanforXX]

the rarest actual music CD she's done *not remix* is the A gold edition. Only 10,000 copies were printed, and it's the first press of the single.

[Aldonia]

I feel so puny. I only own one single, Dearest. I'm hoping to collect more singles as time goes on, but money doesn't grow on trees..

[amanda loves u]

wait...I have the gold edition of A...
And it's the Japan version..and I ordered it about 3 years after it was released...

And I have a sealed, JPN version of Fly high. Which I paid $40 for.

[rainbowseason]

i'll say poker face is the most rare one
first single ever made cant get it on sale anymore and stuff
i heard dat people put it on auction in japan >_<
eeeeeep dat one must be rarest

[Coelacanth]

kanariya is rare?

I just bought the Overseas version at Yesasia... x_x

[voltron]

I have it.

Except it isn't called the gold edition...gold was the standard. It had another name because the original CD is gold, just the rare one has her picture on the front in the gold color.

[PickleCookies]

Well, there are 7 different cd versions of A. There might be more, but I'm not sure. I think black is the most common. There are two different gold versions.
Gold version 1
Blue version
Red version
Black version
Gold version 2
Orange version
Green version

I bet the vinyls are more rare than anything else.

[tetsuo69]

well i have them all ^_^

about A- i got the gold one... with out her her on it... dunno if its the rare one

[gogirlanime]

The rarest Ayu stuff I own is the limited edition Free & Easy single, Surreal, A, and AUDIENCE hehe...

[Delirium-Zer0]

I have several rare singles... kanariya, Fly high, appears, AUDIENCE, both gold A's, the H reissue, the pink version of H, and the other sides 2 and 3. All those are japan versions.
