Orchestral Ayumi CD

#1 30th January 2003, 12:00 AM

Not sure if anyone remembers, but a little while back there was a few CDs that featured instrumental orchestral versions of Ayumi's songs, as well as Utada Hikaru and others.

Anyone have information on the CDs?

Are you talking about the Avex Music Box Collection? I can't find it at YesAsia, but that's what it's listed as at Jpophelp.com

Ooooooooooo the ummm Harmony collection thing. They were posted a while ago. I tried to find the old topic, but I think it might have been deleted. Sorry.

there were a few different kinds:
the "crystal melody ones" were fakes (weren't they?), there were those "relaxing orgel" ones...whatever that means, and then there were the avex ones...all of which had instrumental versions
hmm...maybe try searching http://www.jpophelp.com/ for them...they have tons of cds

The one SamuraiDrive is talking about is the one with simple melody versions of songs done by Avex artists. Oddly, Hikki was included in this project, but I can't remember which song was included. It was released not too long ago but I can't find it at YesAsia anywhere. At Jpophelp it's listed as "Avex Music Box Collection" without images of the CD.

I was about to make a thread asking the same thing samuraiDRIVE LOL

So anybody knows if it was released?

Jpophelp lists its release date as July 10, 2002:
AYUMI HAMASAKI - AVEX MUSIC BOX COLLECTION (Japan Import)

Format: CD
Release Date: 7/10/2002
Price: $29.50

Description: 10 Tracks.
(http://www.jpophelp.com/scripts/prod...asaki&dnum=200)

The only other place I found it was at CD Japan:

avex Music Box Collection / Ayumi Hamasaki Sakuhin-shu
Catalog No.: IOCD-20021
Media: CDA
Number of discs (or other units): 1
Release Date: 2003/01/29
Price: 2500 Yen (US$ 20.90)
(http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=IOCD-20021)

Oddly, their release dates are very different. Jpophelp said it was released in July, but CD Japan says it was released yesterday.

ETA: Even though this isn't the "Harmony Collection," it's the closest I could find to it.

Strange pic for the cover. What is that? A fox?

Thanks for all the help. I went on Jpophelp.com and it seems that what they have is incorrect information/pirated CDs from other sellers. They described "I Am..." as Ayumi's THIRD full album. It's definately her fourth. And they have that album that uses images from the "M" single, but it's a different album.

The ones I was looking for were like, 6 different albums. They're all different artists, and I don't think it was actually released by AVEX, but I think most of the artists were AVEX related besides Hikki...

I'm gonna keep looking!
