"Rock'n'Roll Circus" 4/14 new album information [II]

[truehappiness]

Yes, 4 DVDs, but it'll be:
1. PVs + Tour Digest
2. AT2009 Tour
3. AT2009 Tour Encore
4. AT2009 Tour MC sessions

I think many people are confused about the word "first press". It just means the initial batch of CDs that is made in the CD-making factory or something. Being "first press" doesn't equal "comes with bonus goodies". It's just that, to earn more $$, most artists and companies include those bonus gifts to encourage people to buy the album/single early (aka the first press), to boost sales and rankings when the album/single first comes out. It's all pure marketing technique in the entertainment world.

Therefore, the CD+DVD first press this time comes with that London photobook. The CD only first press doesn't officially have bonus goods. The lottery thing on YA or CDJ probably applies to all versions, and is a separate campaign by itself. It has nothing to do with whether the album is first press or not.

Hope this clears things up abit. ^^

Misa-chan, CDJapan and Neowing list a "to be announced" first press extra that comes with the CD only version though... I think CD-only does actually have something that has yet to be announced...

I think instead of putting another new thread up here in the "news" section, we should just open a thread in the chatroom instead. It's not like there's new news or something.

Just my opinion.

True. But there will be new news sooner or later, I guess? I'm not sure... Somehow the "thoughts"/"discuss this" threads that we used to have around releases in the Chat Room eventually got replaced by release-specific threads that are related to the news in the news forum. For many people, I think this will still be new news to them when they wake up or whatever so I think that it's a bit more considerate to the people who might not have been around when the information first broke out, you know? Otherwise they feel like they've missed out or something? -scratches head- I'm not really sure if one way is better than the other, but so far it seems as though having a central place for people to report news [along with starting their own threads for brand new... as that announcement mentioned] has worked out for the most part. I suppose it's also because many more people visit the News forum? I recall a lot of people missed out on the Ayu book project because they were not aware that it was going on or something...

-head spins- Haha.

lol I won't know. I normally don't believe anything unless I see it on the ayu's official website or TA itself. ^^

Yeah, I guess we'll see. My worst nightmare would be for it to be an on my way/off my day affair with two different photobooks...

Why not a traditional cup for the, instead of a mug cup?

Traditional might be too fragile? Speaking of fragile... I really hope no one's cups break during shipping.

No point worrying over such things. TBH I've never understood the point of rumours and speculation. Whatever ayu comes up with, I'll just take it and go, thank you very much.

Like "OH NOOOO A FRIEND OF A FRIEND WHOSE COUSIN'S BROTHER WORKS IN AVEX SAYS THAT AYU'S NEW ALBUM WILL HAVE 12 TRACKS, OF WHICH 5 ARE INTERLUDES OH NOOOO!!!! *loses sleep or disses ayu*" just isn't how I want to spend my life.

Yeah. But there's a bit of a possibility there, I guess, since I felt left out when I didn't get off my day back in 2005, haha.

Waaaah, it hasn't even been 24 hours since the announcement and things are so crazy already~

well, i'd say, throw the damn tea in the trash and just ship me my mug!!! haha.

seriously, who cares about the tea anyway?

I kind of want the tea! Haha.

And about that ordering thing... perhaps you tried ordering when they were already sold out, so they had a default message of "Cannot ship to you" or w/e when they really had no "stock" left?
