I dunno, if there is a boxset coming I will probably buy it~
However, this seems still exciting, althought I`m not a big fan of singles, Many remixes yay~!
But the one bad thing is, I can`t probably buy those singles when they are realased, since I already spent like...$210 for A Complete Live Box Set [With 4 DVD`s all Japanese versions, from eBay, $160 from the Box + $30 shipping] and $30 for pre-order of Pokémon Anime Original BGM Soundtrack Best 1997-2010 [First press]

My birthday is on 1st of October, but we kinda agreed that the Live Box was my present since it`s so expensive...
Aaw, this is so wrong I want those singles! X,D Please boxset, come true!

crossroad and L are really nice titles btw ^.^

I wrote it allready but I will write it again, タイトル未定 means Untitled

btw it´s an interesting move of avex to release Ayu + Kuu on the same day, do they hope hardcore fans will buy x versions just to see "their" artist on Top? o.o

I just also recently updated the Wikipedia entries for Ayu and her discography to reflect her 49th and 50th official singles (51st and 52nd if including failed "Nothing from Nothing" and digital "Together When..." singles).

Article on Ayumi Hamasaki (section: 2007-present: Market beyond Japan; see bottom of section)
Ayu's discography, singles section

BTW, I just created an account on CDJapan! Don't know when I will be using it, but if I have my own money, I might want to take advantage of "coupons" and save on Ayu singles as well as anything you need for Japanese pop and media!

[TheBaronAndAyu]

Quite interesting! My birthday falls right in between these two! (26th)

L seems like a interesting name.....

@OyTony: I think the sticker/poster sets are actually of her singles! (Crossroad is 1st to 26th, L is 26th to 50th)

Use it save up the items you want to by (when you get money), lol.

And thanks, I was just looking at her Wiki page not too long ago thinking it seriously needed to be updated.

i'm interested to know what is
★TeamAyuオフィシャルショップ特典
シングルジャケット・ステッカーセット（1st～25th）
and

[!Lawi!]

Wow, so much big news at once ! Very unexpected tough, it's great we finally get the last letter Plus, my name starts with a L, so I conclude she loves me XD
Do you think two singles released one week after the other could break her winning streak ?

Sticker with the covers of all her singles.

[Keiichi_JPU]

I'm very curious for the regular First Press bonus items that CDJapan will sell too.. I'm hoping for at least posters!!

I'm not excited YET, because we haven't gotten any song titles apart from crossroads, but when I see the confirmed track lists.. I'll be very excited because this release is HUGE! So excited for the covers too!

^^I forgot about first press bonuses. I wouldn't mind some more pretty posters as well. *squeal*

[wildconnetta]

YES!

Spoiler:

my only gripe with L is that it sounds like a new iamamiwhoami video

can't wait!

[Keiichi_JPU]

Oh I've just decided I'm gonna buy Crossroad CD+DVD and the CD-only with blossom orchestra version (since MOON already is quite orchestra-ish, I can't see that version being that special). As for L... Probably 1 CD+DVD and 1 CD-only versions as well, I don't have any more money!! I'll wait for the tracklists and covers

By the way.. if L has only Orchestra and Acoustic remixes.. do you guys think it'll be a ballad-only single? If that's the case, those ballads better be epic (M, It was, JEWEL, etc)

[kendelle]

The 50th single is called L? lol

Sounds pretty awesome, but reminds me a bit of Death Note's character L

Now I can finally place my order depending on whether there's First Press bonuses :3

Yes, they're not kidding! It's going to be called "L" - look around in this thread for more info! (Maybe one reason why the 50th single is called "L" is because L is the Roman numeral for 50!) I think there's going to be three more new songs there besides crossroad and another song for the 49th single...

In my opinion, these two singles are quite complex - I mean, there's plenty of combinations for someone to purchase! One only for one single, one only for each, or all versions and all singles, or somewhere in between...I've never seen something this complex on how many versions they are going to have!

If I was going to buy the single(s), well it's really hard to choose...

That sounds sooooo cute, omg.

[~angel*ayumi~]

Ordered a CD+DVD Version of each Single at TA now for the Sticker set, I dunno if I will buy the other versions too, that´s just too ridicilous even for a collector like me.
