Ayumi + youtube

[KuroixShiroi_Namida]

lol i got banned once for uploading her pv's

[Bad Wolf]

keep on creatively fighting the system, guys - though i hope it doesn't land you in trouble...

Ah.. it is nonsens from Avex to delete such Videos. You can see it on TV (if you can watch japanese TV) and pay nothing. So.. they can not earn anything with that videos. So.. it makes no different, if the Videos are on Youtube or not. (-.-)'''

it's not just Avex , Sony BMG/DefSTAR is also like that too !

I uploaded live performances of Ken Hirai on youtube & almost everyone of them got taken down due to copyright infringement

Popularity is important for a celebrity. If Ayu is popular almost everywhere, many more people will buy her products and more will come to her concerts as well.

*Totoo yun.
(*Thats true)

Filipino music cravings are mostly Westerners or Chinese type.
There are very few knew about Jpop except Ayu which is SELDOMLY talked or listened to her music.
They all know about Jpop music are from those "recycled" anime or Hikki-chan(Utada) or YUI or BoA. And that's it.

I felt that im the only Filipino fan for Ayu here in my country(But im not now!).


Anyways, it is really inportant to keep the PVs or LIVE performances on streaming video sites especially from YouTube so that many people will discover the GENUINE music from her.
Thank God that the CrunchyRoll DIDN'T REMOVE those!


Im still wondering why they remove those LIVE performances when its not from AVEX not from the TV station.

I stopped using YouTube for anything Japanese, because well... it's crap.

If you want to see Ayu's videos and EVEN MORE. Go on www.dailymotion.com, make a search for Ayumi Hamasaki and you'll find LOTS AND LOTS of her videos, and more. I viewed a lot of small parts of her concerts, making of on there, and also some videos fan recorded when she was in Paris, signing autographes.

That sucks. AVEX should try and break the online market, otherwise they'll lost out on sales in the end

Hope they never find AHS!!

[Deneb]

because if pvs can be watch via youtube, no one would be buying cd+dvd version that's 10usd gone each

no, i don't think that you re right. In Youtube you will not get PV in such good quality as dvd.

Let's write letter to AVEX!!!!!!!

[sibby]

and than they close ahs O_O ^

okay just kidding. but man. i dont mind :3

but even if they upload the video on youtube. I'LL STILL BUY THE DVD. cause its. ayumi >_> and and i want to OWN it. HAHA

[Hamasaki_Vaan]

Then why can't they just upload previews/CMS promoting the product @_@?

It sucks if a new fan or just anyone is looking for videos on Ayumi and all they find are random karaoke videos and Ayu forgetting the lyrics to Voyage

I agree with this so much. The internet is international television, so many more people around the world would get to know Ayu and buy her releases if only avex would let it be! Seriously. How stupid are they?

That is so not true o_o; The quality is ridiculous. At Veoh, you can download the video at the original quality of the file, but at YT you can't ~ in theory, you can't download the file at all. There are MANY places -AHS included, of course- where you can download her PVs in MUCH higher quality (lossless, even), so why would the people wanting to save up those 10 bucks go to Youtube of all places? There are artists whose videos don't get deleted so fast, if someone tells me they've actually heard of someone downloading the videos from YT and burning them to a DVD to play outside the computer, I'll be... very disappointed in the human kind lol.

[vuong22]

they have alsom pulled most of Boa's videos off too

[perfectodub]

well..a friend of mine, she studies psychology said me that Japanese people
tend to develop a personality with paranohia...maybe thats the anwer for the AVEX obsession LOL

HAhahaha XD. Maybe..

[~*Mabushii*~]

Are you the person who asked that on my Youtube???

Someone asked why they could only find People singing Ayu's songs and not the REAL PV's.. I answered because Avex pulls em... hmm
