ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2015 The FINAL DVD/BD release

[Ryusei]

Neat, I hope she can take the weekly #1 in the DVD section

[AyuGAME]

her competition is Super Junior..most likely she will fall from 1st position tomorrow or the day after tomorrow..but hopefully the number she get from the first day sales can reserve her position for number one weekly ranking

[ayuro74]

great Ayu

I didn't know that the dvd and bluray were counted separately. Any reason why? Makes no sense to me...

[Uknow!]

^ Different price, format and competition. It has sense but I can't explain hahaha

If you look at the huge difference in positions and what are the other products on the ranking the reason they're kept separate becomes clear. Look at the blu-ray ranking, for example, it's always dominated by anime releases, because anime fans tend to prefer buying blu-rays over DVDs. Anime releases aren't nearly as proheminent on the DVD ranking. Music DVDs, specially Ayu's, are much more popular among the general public than blu-rays, which can be seen by the fact Ayu is #1 on the DVD ranking, but #9 on the general blu-ray ranking. The big price difference and the fact that not everyone has blu-ray players make the general public that choose DVDs and the general public that choose blu-rays quite different, so it makes sense to have different rankings. The day when there won't be such a huge difference between the results of those two rankings, or when the blu-ray finally overcomes DVD sales (DVDs still sell A LOT more in Japan), then maybe they'll start putting the two together, but for now keeping them separated makes sense.

I hate myself for not ordering this DVD yet Imma get it next week probably!! it makes me more excited. Sucks that the limited TA with mc collection already sold out.

Started watching the tour and why the hell they had to apply this "gloomy" colour filter on picture in "Pride" -_- i don't like so much such. editing.
Edit: Watched until "WARNING". For now i think they did quite good job althought in warning camera goes totally crazy and tv version did much better job for this song. And it's sad because i've been waiting how they would deal with this part. Plus extra stuff from backscreens blinking on my face work really badly in my opinion.
A BELL - HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This version of the album introduction is so damn AWESOME!!!!! And visuals are one of her best EVER for interlude. I am blown away....

[spanishfan]

^I agree A BELL is one of the best interludes from a concert she had done. But I disagree with the backscreens used for the editing in WARNING, I love these too

BTW In the magic trick for Inmature, I think they might record the part when "ayu's gone" in a post production to make herself to be there. I remember the TV version was very obvious it wasn't herself, in DVD version I'm 99% sure it's herself the whole time... I'm a bit confused with that :/

I love what they did with backscreens, fantastic job. Just didn't enjoy the dvd/bluray edit when stuff was blinking on screen or huge LALALA was smashed into my face. Maybe it's just my style that i prefer to see the stage and actual performance without any extra fireworks for the sake of release ;p

I love that there are some kids in her concerts and they sang alone her songs ( the show must go on, MY ALL,... )

Yeah me too! I always feel happy whenever I see young children as early as 2 years old (the baby beside my seat last CDL) on her concerts! The age range of Ayu's fans is so broad that I also see grannies inside the arena too. XD

Maybe my favorite kid was the one crying on Power of Music.

[YukiUsagi]

although not as good as CDL's, I'm still so crazy with Duty

The first time I saw that crying kid, I thought she wanted to go home but her sister didn't do it

I love the boy who was dancing in the show must go on

I watched the document clip, most of it mentioned how hard the show was when RIKI skipped some days and another member tried to change RIKI's position.
