Ayu-Ro-Roma08 · #1 18th March 2009, 01:42 AM

Hey guys i havent posted her in 4 ever and i was going to buy an ayu cd tonight because i just found out that all my ayu cd's are bootlegged! Stupid me didn't look for AVEX and i got some " MIYA" records ******* and i am so mad! Cuz i have like 6 albums and now i don't even like want them. So I am starting anew and i want to get a cd with a dvd but i want it to buy one that i really enjoy ( not like guilty where i like a couple songs) so i was wondering in your opinion what would be my best purchase with the added in features and advantages or dis advantages of getting it with a dvd or without or how i should get it. And i call myself an ayu fan! im disgustin! thanks! I figured you guys would know

I say (miss) understood, because in my opinion it's a good album and it has quite a few good music videos on it.

I would recommend Secret CD+DVD ...but...i dont know....~ thats what i like.` lol~
*i love ballads*

but, if you want a nice fresh start? maybe just pre-order one of the 4 versions of next level from yesasia?~ or cdjapan?~

I would go for NEXT LEVEL. it's always nice having something really new then listening to the old stuff again.

i say (miss)understood CD+DVD, the booklet is pretty, the PVs are great, there's a lot of songs on it

or RAINBOW, cause i think the print quality is great, the colors are so vibrant

but it really depends on what your favorite album is

I might just get a cd version cuz i want a genuine avex japan press.... i always get the hk of everything! ( BoA, TVXQ, Kumi, Ayu all hong kong) but what did u guys think about the dvd of secret???? cuz i wanted that... And AB2W w/ dvd???

Don't beat yourself up about it - on the bright side, you can give them to friends and not worry if they get scratched!

I have a MIYA records MY STORY that I keep in the car and don't worry if it gets stolen/damaged

I'd recommend either MY STORY, (miss)understood or NEXT LEVEL. You can get her back catalogue pretty cheap on eBay from stores like Dora's store but I'd suggest waiting a few weeks til the hype of the new album dies down - prices go way up before new albums/singles!!

If you were in the mood for something different you could go for LOVEppears with the second CD disc, it's full of remixes and if you put it into your computer you can view CMs, see her discography (at the time, so it's out of date now!) and hear cute clips of her voice.

I ripped the voice clips and put them up on AHS a while back: http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=81655 but I really like the rest of the bonuses too. As you can get the album for under $10USD it's well worth it <3

Good luck with whatever you choose, let us know where you start! ^_^

EDIT: PS - All items in Dora's store are legitimate Avex presses, he buys them in bulk lots on Yahoo! Auctions japan, which is why most albums start at around $6USD - he usually gets CD-only but often gets CD+DVD, I got MY STORY from him the other day CD+DVD

EDIT2: If you're getting NEXT LEVEL, you only have about 24 hours to order it on CDJ to be in the lucky draw prize. For YesAsia I think you have til the 21st march, so get in quick! You might get a freebie~

kirei_ayumi · #8 18th March 2009, 02:06 AM

I would say MY STORY CD+DVD since that was the first CD+DVD version I got...

Not your fault, a lot of people get thwarted by Miya Records.

I would get m(u). Has some of the best songs, the booklet was pretty and so was the "on my way" photobook.

I know how you feel!!!!! You should be more careful. I bought a copy of Utada's Deep River for $12 from a store called Tokyo in the mall and it was a bootleg. I thought it was the real thing for the longest time! It was made by a company called Alion. My sister had it worse than me. She got Utada's Ultra Blue and a CD called Utada Hikaru Single Collection Volume 2 (I was like WTF theres no such thing when i saw it) and it cost her like $40 total. Those two were made by MIYA records. They make REALLY GOOD bootlegs. Like they look so genuine. I also saw a copy of Ayu's Rainbow and A-Ballads (which I was about to buy) in the same store but thank god I decided to buy Metroid Prime 3 for Wii that day instead (LAWL!) I mean...that store doesnt sell all fakes. It had the real Koda Kumi Kingdom Album that came in a box set.....so yeah...you have to be super careful. Anyway, for the best Ayu Albums? I'd go with My Story CD+DVD (Because the PVs from that Album were amazing) or A-Best 2 black or white. Or both. LOL. If not those, wait for Next Level and get that.

MY STORY

Lady_Eowyn · #12 18th March 2009, 06:20 AM

To me her best album is (Miss)Understood. Beautiful ballads, cute pop and amazing rock songs are featured in there. Fairyland is in MU as well

I am... is a great album also.

~angel*ayumi~ · #13 18th March 2009, 06:56 AM

I whould go for Rainbow or I am, this 2 are still her best albums^^

For me I love her earlier albums than new albums. Song wise I prefer the Old ones but if you really want with a DVD, I think you should get MY STORY and Memorial Address.

That's great that you are happy in here. I also felt that I'm so welcome in here especially when I have problems or Inquiries they are supportive but sometimes there are members that...oh never mind!

Kingdom · #19 19th March 2009, 12:26 PM

memorial address!

It depends on why you want it. I think you shoul go for NEXT LEVEL, as there is still first press in stores

But if it is as you want it for the tracklist, I would say (miss)understood or MY STORY. (miss)understood is my favorite, but somehow I feel most for MY STORY, as a lot of the songs were some of the first I heard. Also, I don't think there is just 1 bad track on any of those 2 albums.
