First-press posters?

[matt9210]

Hey guys, hoping you can help

The posters I'm after are first press posters, not promo posters. The only Ayu CDs I've seen these for are Mirrocle World, Rule, GREEN/Days, and Secret, and I'm 110% sure.

Can you please post the CDs you are 110% sure had a poster as, or part of, the CD's first press item/s? Thanks

As far as I can recall there aren't any official first presses of Ayu singles that come with posters... the ones CDjapan give are only external bonuses I believe.

^^ I think there was an 'MW' poster, but I'm not sure.
and I know there was a 'Secret' poster

I don't know if you count GUILTY & A BEST 2 posters as 1st presses & let alone for A COMPLETE

[~angel*ayumi~]

The textless Posters for A Best 2 , Guilty and A Complete were not 1st press extra, they were lucky draw prizes.

blue bird has one.

If you're talking about textless posters, I don't know how many albums/singles have them but I've got ones for BLUE BIRD, Secret, Rule/Sparkle, A BEST 2 -BLACK-, and two different jackets of Mirrorcle World.

Yeah, it's the textless posters I'm on about, but not the prize draw posters, just the first press external bonuses

Thanks guys. The earliest I've seen then is for Blue Bird. And there are no others earlier than this?

Just to be sure, is the Blue Bird poster a first press external bonus, or from a prize draw?

[~angel*ayumi~]

No the Blue Bird one is 1st press extra.
There was also a textless Startin poster but i think it was a TA or mu-mo bonus.

Don't forget the Sunrise / Sunset first press poster.. Only available if you order on Mu-mo

To help you out a bit, these are the posters I own so I know what they look like and how big they are:

SECRET: A big B3-sized poster. Mine has the CD+DVD cover, I'm not sure if there's also one with the CD-only cover.
Days/GREEN: A big B3-sized poster. There was only one version, that is the CD+DVD cover of Days/GREEN. (So even if you bought GREEN/Days, the poster would still have the Days/GREEN cover!)
RULE/Sparkle: A small B4-sized poster. There were 2 versions: one of the CD+DVD cover, and one of the drawn manga-Ayu that was also printed on the discs of the First press editions.

note: I'm not sure if the sizes are actually called B3 and B4.. But I think so. Anyways, B3 is big and B4 is small

^^ Thanks

Great, lol. Are they technically (sp?) first press items then, the ones that come with orders from mu-mo? I mean, if even Japanese CD stores don't give them away......... :S

What's TA by the way?

[Keiichi_JPU]

TA is TeamAyu, Ayumi's official fanclub.

You have to live in Japan in order to be a member, which sucks big-time since TA-members get so much more bonus items. I don't remember everything, but from the top of my head they got a free notepad with Days/GREEN, a pocket mirror with Mirrorcle World and flip-flops with Sunrise/Sunset. I'm pretty sure almost all of her releases come with free bonus items for TA-members.

^ Thanks for the help The only poster I own is the Secret one. So for Rule, it was down to luck as to which poster you got?

If it's a TA extra, I'm not counting that as first press, that'll take me a lot of money and too long to get all the TA extras xD

Hmmm, what I'll do is go through YJA and ask about posters I see here. I remember seeing an I am... poster too, I'm guessing it was just a prize draw thing or a seperately bought poster.

Oh, and I think they're B2?

*EDIT* talkin' 2 myself has one, right? Is this a lucky draw prize or first press bonus?

[~angel*ayumi~]

I wouldn´t count mu-mo posters as a first press bonus, as it´s a mu-mo special, other Cd stores don´t have it.
t2m has no textless version, btw there is never a lucky draw for an Ayu Single, only the albums.

Ah, thanks for your help!
