She needs to pull a Daybreak and release a re-cut single with a totally different arrangement + a new PV.

Not just because our server is based in the USA, but because I don't think they'd like two deals like that going on at the same time

Nah, and they wouldn't need to. I just wonder if they'd leave us and our download forums alone.

Haha well...Daybreak totally should have gotten #1 IMO...

Okay, correction. She should pull a partial-Daybreak and release a recut+PV as an extra B-side on a future single.

What can I say--I like dramatic reworkings of songs. I can dream...

I have a feeling Avex knows most of the Ayumi forums with downloads on. I don't think we go by unnoticed~ If we grew by a lot I think it'd be an issue, but right now I don't think they care.

well if they released then in europe, I would by EVERYTHING! I got most of ayu's albums and two singles, and they are just TOO expensive... not only cause in Japan everything is expensive, but this price gets 3 times higher due to transport which isn't cheap either!

And I just can't wait till my copy arrives!!! I JUST CAN'T

Yeah, which is why I get most of my stuff used...which is also a gamble because it's online ordering and you never REALLY know what you're getting until it arrives, or unless you're buying from a seller you've had a good experience with before. Also, doesn't contribute more money to the artist/label.

I just wish there were a bigger "world music" market here (in the US). I used to live in Orlando, and they had one of those HUGE Virgin Mega stores before it went out of business a year or two ago...I mean, it was enormous. And they had a "world" section. But it was mainly Latin music and reggae (which is great, but not much of a "world" variety). Then, they had some traditional world music compilations--also cool, but where's the modern pop/rock music?

I'd find, like, a Puffy CD, a Shonen Knife b-side collection, and a couple of random, old JPop/Rock compilations. And then just traditional Japanese music. Chinese music was 100% traditional (unless you count Twelve Girls Band because they've been "mainstreamed"), and there was NOTHING Korean.

Once in a while, I'd find an Asian Kung Fu Generation, L'Arc~en~ciel, TM Revolution, or Thee Michelle Gun Elephant CD in the store's main pop/rock section, because those bands have (or had) American distributors. No Ayu whatsoever. No Gackt, back when he was such a huge name. Nothing else, no matter how famous the artist/group might be throughout all of Asia.

/rant

I know there's not much of a market for Asian music in the US (even though the fanbase has grown so damn much in the past 10 years, compared to before), but I always thought it was ridiculous that an absurdly large, international chain like Virgin Mega has such a weak international music selection...
