kinda disappointed that this is the 5th release.

I agree, their should of been more first press things, instead of these singles called "mini albums", which made it to the next album which really makes them a single. They only difference from the mini LOVE and again, have is, no making of video on the dvd. And her tour DVD's usually come out in march anyways so there's nothing special with that. She should of put an ayu-pan with all her first press releases with this 5 thing. At least it would of been something to collect special with it. Like one that goes with the cover or something or even them spelling out something

But a tour dvd is still always welcomed

I think the problem with this lies in the wording of avex' and ayu's advertisemnt and the false expectations they call up in fans - as usual.
Calling something "unique", "groundbreakingly new" or "special" when it really is just a normal set of releases in a different timeframe is bad because people expect god knows what. Even though we probably should be used to the exaggerations by now.
Wasn't it just like that with several things before? 50th single lead up for example?
If you look at the releases themselves and the timeframe they were released in without the super high expectations created by the advertisement, they are fine.

I wonder if Japanese fans see it like most people on AHS do?
I talked to a Japanese friend and she said she didn't mind the minis being included on the album as they all showed a train of thoughts by being released apart. Of course that doesn't mean that all Japanese fans think about it like that, but I didn't read about that kind of opinion on this board so far.

Anyway, I am pretty excited for the HLS Tour to be released on DVD, no matter in what context. 3 hours is a pretty long running time, isn't it?
And if and what will show up on the 8th of April.

I remember when LOVE and again release, I wrote message here said "5 releasing would not be all new songs". Unfortunately nobody listened to me and kept dreaming all releases would be new albums.

And then now, those people who woke up from their self-creative world and complain and said "I am so disappointed."

Get a life, seriously.

Regarding the DVD/BD , I really want to see the bed performance, and I hope those videos for tour will be in disc 2! I always love those tour videos, and this is the first time releasing DVD and BD at the same time?

lol I actually did the same thing. I mentioned in another thread that I figured these videos would be featured in an upcoming bluray/DVD compilation release and that I wouldn't buy the CD+DVD's. So while everyone else was disappointed and angry ranting because they bought the CD+DVD versions and thought Avex was cheating them over... I wasn't. And neither were you, I guess. Ha.

And they've been releasing DVD+BD's together since AT10's home release.

I remember looking on Twitter to check out the reactions of the Japanese fans. I know all of them aren't on Twitter, but none of them were mad. They weren't excited, like jumping around in excitement, but they seemed happy for another Ayu release. The international fans seemed like the only ones who were displaying angry tweets.
