I thought I read that the HK/Taiwan presses are good through Avex HK (or Taiwan?) and that Japan presses are good through with Avex Japan... Not sure if they can be used outside of those, though.

你好，因為到目前仍未清楚確實的特典內容，到底是跟以往以網上形式發佈的特典，還是以實體形式發佈的特典, 如果是跟以往一樣是網上形式輸入密碼，大致上應該跟以往一樣也是可以通用，不過如果是實體形式的特典,因受 地域限制, avex hong kong只能夠支援香港版的特典密碼卡.謝謝.

Basically it says that they still have no clue as to what the special code is used for. But if it's for online redemption, there should be no problem in mixing the codes. However, if it's a physical redemption then individual country could only accept their own released codes.

If i understand well, that means that if it's a online "gift", having JPN and TW/HK codes is OK, but if it's a physical "gift", I must have all JPN codes or all TW/HK codes. Right ?

Yes for the digital part. But no for the physical part. Japan is correct but, OS press can't be mixed too. Hong Kong is Hong Kong and Taiwan would be Taiwan. You can't mix their codes too.

As for A BEST 3, what will come will come. Though I hope it's not now yet. Cos I hope they release some sort of non expensive but gorgeous complete box set instead of A BEST 3 ^^.
But if there's no box set, then by all means let A BEST 3 happen ♥

I'm still wondering what is happening to A 3D2. Don't tell me avex is so nice to give it as the free present for the 5 release codes redemption ♥♥♥

So, this is a open space for discussion, and we are free to disagree with anyone on the forum over any matter UNLESS they are complaining, if this is the case we can't disagree or express a different opinion because people are free to complain how much they want?

Ok then... This place is getting less and less interesting over time.

I have found it's the opposite around here. Anyone who expresses the least bit dislike or unapproval of something, then they are told to "leave" or "listen to someone else" etc. I know because I 'complain' a lot but it doesn't mean I do not love Ayu or feel like I want to stop listening to her. It's exactly the opposite. Her music means so much to me and it's honestly the stuff I listen to constantly. I just rotate her eras/albums. There's always the kicks I get into where I'll almost "re-discover" love for a past song and it's the first song I play during my workout, first song I play in the car to work, first song I play in the car back home. Right now, that song is 1LOVE for me. When I download a new album by another artist, or have a small kick where I'm listening to a certain song/artist for a week, I then tire of it and return to Ayu. She's the one artist who I feel I can listen to all the time, no matter what mood I'm in, because there's so much to listen to. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have her music. It feels like "home" to me.

The 'complainers' are attacked the most.

OMG I just started re-listening to 1LOVE as well



Unpopular opinion: I think I might be the only person who does not want A BEST 3 this year. I still feel weird about the A BEST collections tbh, especially when I think back to how Ayu didn't like how the first one was handled. . . kind of just tainted the entire idea for me. I liked A COMPLETE because that was just epic, but idk about A BEST...I have all the albums up to this point, so if the covers or extra content blow me away I'll buy it.

[krtman2002]

I would've prefered the album A song for XX re-recorded, but this DVD/Bluray isn't a bad release at all. I knew this would happen anyway... XD

[& + H]

I can say these "anniversary releases" were the worse.

I'm counting the "minis" as singles so love again has been good so far.

[truehappiness]

What I heard is that the codes were all distributed by avex Japan and they should all be okay but then again, the HK/TW ones look rather different from the Japanese ones...

Okay, the FB page confirms that HK only works with HK, TW only works with TW, and Japan only works with Japan.

The HK ones from the avex HK page:

That is for sure, since they bring so much attention to themselves by complaining reaaallllly often.

It's because the complainers are passionate.

[ExodusUK]

Am I the only one that wants A BEST 3 to be released and out of the way? Releasing it on April 8 would be the perfect way to mark 15 years of unappreciative, entitled and spoilt fans

[truehappiness]

Honestly, my stance on this is that avex promised 5 releases. We got 5 releases. No theme was ever mentioned other than releasing on the 8th and they delivered. Usually something gets delayed somewhere along the line.

[Delicious n Bold]

It's just that DVDs in Japan are disgustingly expensive.
It can cause heart attacks in the weak of heart.

[adantatu2]

After this DVD and probably the "A BEST 3" in april (IMO), i'm not expecting anything for the rest of the year because she is going to be probably busy on the tour, but since she loves music, maybe a new mini-album is ready for winter !!

[truehappiness]

I'm kind of expecting a 15th album for the 15th anniversary. Maybe... October/November?

i hope it too... in October! because October is ayu's birthday (and my birthday too )

[TeamAyu2004]

i really really REALLY!!!! want her to do some singles this year... 1 just 1!!! and then we can have an album at the end of the year... it would kinda fit her pattern anyways with the way she releases music.

[inspire_rmx]

A BEST 3 for April 8 would b great! Follow by the tour. Hoping for Asia tour ^^ hopefully 2 new singles n a new album by the end of the year or early 2014
