yup. I instantly recognized it; however, the ONLY remix that I was NOT able to figure out, was the BLUE BIRD remix played by the DJ after ayu's BLUE BIRD performance. It sounded really hot! I want it! lol

[AyUmIXx]

i cried watching that 15th anniversary video too.. so touching, seeing all her works mixed into one. some fans were found crying too.. also at teddy bear, that song always makes me cry.

[sanzo2011]

That special screen's so awesome! i almost cry right from the beginning when they play Ivy piano! hope that she'll perform Ivy in the next CDL! seriously, that song's so underrated!~~!

[alanphun]

Heaven performance is the best~

[ayu-michan]

Btw did we get an HQ scan of the cover?

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^I'm waiting for one also.

Anyone else recognize that BLUE BIRD remix that the DJ played during his session in A BEST LIVE? It sounds so good! I want it in full!!

For those who are waiting for some news about the OS press of the DVD,

It will be released one 15 November. Also, someone sent an enquiry to avex Taiwan about the photo book and the person was told that avex Taiwan can't confirm if it will (or will not) be produced yet as they're still acquiring rights to produce and distribute the release.

^Thank you!!

Thank you!
wow next week! can't wait to know about the photobook

[Neiluj]

It seems that the release date for the Taiwan press of the DVD has been postponed : : http://www.avex.com.tw/ayu/news/news...News&DPID=2451

[Earth_maiden]

^there's some OS presses on Ebay, I think I'll just buy that. I don't really care about the photobook and I assume that's why it's been delayed?

[jiarongisme]

^ Both the listings I saw are for pre-orders since they're both for the Taiwan press which isn't released yet. Chances are the HK press wouldn't be out yet.

I believe the photo book is causing the delay though.

[Earth_maiden]

Oooh, really? Bugger.

[SKYia]

Still no pics of the photobook?

[jiarongisme]

^ Scans were out a while ago. http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=118893

Picked my copy from the custom office today^^
I was so confused because the "delivery unable"- Return-address was in Singapore o.o

I thought the ASFXX performance was just fine. Where is the 'lack of breath' that you speak of? She sang it fine from my end.

I have heard that most Japanese fans cannot stand Timmy.

And with Timmy - he's OK, but... how to put it... Too much of him and it's kind of "in your face" stuff...

Agreed. I was perfectly fine with him during POM, but ever since Ayu put all the draq queen make-up on him... I mean, sometimes it's fine and somewhat enjoyable too, but he's been there for too much lately...

But I am not OK with the guy in a drag opening the whole concert and actually singing...
Hey, no matter, I still listen to all the stuff prior to about 2008-2009 and have had a complete and full collection of everything, but I do not want to buy the new stuff. Like... why would I fork over money for something that will just collect the dust on the shelf, as I do not like it much. Basically if I have an hour or two, there is no way that I'll listen to 'FIVE' if I can listen to 'Duty', 'RAINBOW', or stick my audio DVD of 'My STORY' into the player...
I will continue watching Ayu with great interest and, as I wrote in other threads a while ago, my eneabba.net is not going to go down, it will just continue to be "Ayu: 1998-2010". Even if for some weird reason I'll decide to make it current again - it will take me at least five-six months of pretty much full time work, which I do not have.
cheers, nick

I will say you are missing out on some good stuff... living in the past is never fun imo.
