Rock 'n' Roll Circus - 4/14 new album information [III]

[Mai82Go]

^thanks for the info. I was a few hours too late. That happens if you don't check the internet every 5 minutes. Gotta order the normal versions now. Avex are really strange, it shouldn't be that much of a surprise that people are interested in the box.

I e-mailed YA because of the lottery and got this:

Thank you for writing to YesAsia!

We have forwarded your suggestion to our product team for further consideration. For such promotions, we would also need to coordinate with the suppliers/manufacturers before "lucky draw" could be launched.

We would update the product information should this promotion be available in the future.

Thank you very much for your continued support with YesAsia.com.

I REALLY don't mean to be all pessimistic, but that to me looks like a polite way of saying "We don't think that's gonna happen, kthxbai".

But it doesn't matter, it's funny they wrote exactly the same thing to tbb08 (which I understand though, they're not gonna write something different and creative to all the people asking the same thing)

And yeah, the YA mail kinda sounds like a "no" to me as well but hey you never know

[~angel*ayumi~]

I whouldn´t be so pessimistic, YA had a Lucky draw since Guilty, CDJ since A Best 2, I am sure they will have.
Next level Album was officioally announced by TA on 12th February, Lucky draw at YA + CDJ was announced around the 3rd March, so I think we will just have to wait a bit.

I know that the London pictures with Ayu in a SUPER cute dress and hat around a red phone booth are for the photobook....

But I'm still secretly hoping they will be for the cover...... They look too awesome not to be!! XD

I still think the first ones are for teh cover

I am kinda sure those pics will end up in the booklet or the photo book~

I think that's what they wanted to happen xD

Now I'm 100% sure I won't get the limited box set because I haven't paid for my order yet.

This is so true. It doesn't just go for the singles either. It goes for AT09 and CDL ~Future Classics~, imo. I've got a friend who really got into Ayumi in between the release of S/S ~LOVE is ALL~ and Yw.../BALLAD and she just adores them all to pieces. She loved AT09 too. I think it's because to new fans, they haven't seen it/heard it before. I mean I loved BALLAD but I felt like I'd herd You were..., Sunrise, and Sunset a thousand times before, and I know I've watched the same things at multiple concerts throughout the years.

[Yukitora]

I hope by 'rock n roll' she means fated-rock.

Im still blown away by fated and would like to see more songs done in that sort of arrangement.

What would be a "new fan"? Cuz her first concert I watched was At03-04, I watched all the other ones before watching At09 and still find At09 one of her best

[Not~Yet]

^me too. The opinions of her whole fanbase shoudn't be divided into "new fans" and "old fans", since it doesn't work like that lol.

Where did you order your box?

From past experience, with CDJapan and YesAsia, you only pay once your order has been shipped. Never before...

Are you sure?
I pre-ordered NEXT LEVEL last year and they did took the money from my credit card before they shipped it. And thinking about it twice...it has always been like that for me ^^ they take the money from my credit card and then they (between 1-2 days) shipped my items... not saying that it can't happend, that's just how it has been with me ^_~

Well knowing avex they'll try to produce some more for fans and call it second press or something. They won't miss the chance at making more money. I might get it, if that's the case, but I'm not too keen on it if the covers are going to be the same since I don't want to buy AT09 yet. Unless the glass/mug is super pretty

Yeah, I don't like when people do that. I've heard all of her winter ballads many times and I still think You were... is her best winter ballad and I still think CDL 09-10 was an amazing concert after seeing all of her others. People are going to like what they like, no matter when they became a fan.

[amorphose]

Well of course not all new fans are going to have the same opinion as each other and not all old fans are gonna have the same opinions as each other but what I was trying to say that an old fan is much more likely not to like You were... or AT09 for being "recycled" than a new fan is since a new fan hasn't been around long enough to see all the past stuff. Get it?

[Kazeyomi]

I don't know how could new fans likes Yw more Yw is one of her best ballad so far imo.
And I agree, fanbase shouldn't divided into new or old fans lol (even if I've seen this discussion here on AHS times ago).
but I noticed that Sunrise is higly appreciated by non-Ayufan (like a friend of mine, a huge fan of korean boyband)
