A -single

[987654321987]

I went back to Hong Kong yesterday and i went to HMV.
I immediately start to search for ayu's black and white - which i bought straight away(a bit late, i know). then i ran through her singles for sale - B&D, HEAVEN, fairyland .....and then i found ----- A.
A!!!!! with monochrome, too late, trauma and end roll, 4 side maxi single!!
JUST FOR 60 HK DOLLARS (like 8 US dollars)

It is her highest selling single for all time and the longest single(in terms of play time) and has 14 tracks(yes, 14 tracks, 4 orig, 4 instrumental 6 mix).

I like to think that it is rare, it is the last one there anyway.

cool... I think

[Yukitora]

I don't really understand, but that's awesome

but why would it be rare? Well, it's heaps old and all, but it's not that special.... still, good purchase. Four of Ayu's classics and my personal favourites!

[Peger]

i don't mean to rain on your parade, but it's not very rare. Still a good find, though!

[LacusClyne]

^it depend on which color it is...

what color is that? if it's the black, then it's not really rare, only in asia countries it's a little hard to find it in store(though you can order easily online)

LacusClyne is right, rarity depends on the colors. Although the single itself is not rare, the colored ones are considered collector's items. The rarest one is the 24K (14K?) Gold disc.

... and is it JPN or HK version? It makes quite a bit difference (value wise) .

[orangeland]

congrats! the A single is pretty cool i have it in probably the two least-sought after colors though: black and gold (non-24k). still a cool single though!

60 dollars at HMV means it is the OS version. in fact, i saw the taiwan version of A (the BLUE disc) at hmv causeway bay some months ago, but i didnt buy it!

YEAH it is the OS verson.
What? colors???
my disc is orange in colour, the cover is black.
