ayumi hamasaki 15th Anniversary TOUR ～A BEST LIVE～ Goods!

[Heavenly]

I personnally have the feeling that the photoshoot of the A BEST LIVE pamphlet will become the shoot of the DVD/BD package of the A BEST LIVE next year.
Remember the promo picture with Ayu in lace outfit for RnRC Tour...

^You mean the 2800 yen pamphlet?

If the fierce-looking Ayu will become the shoot of ABL's DVD/Bluray, that will be kinda cool!!

Yes the "scream, shout, destroy" photobook.

^Great description, haha

I was thinking about getting the pamphlet...but it's just...a pamphlet, right? That means, like, brochure to me.

The tour "pamphlets" are essentially photo books as opposed to the leaflets most Americans picture when we hear the word "pamphlet." They're full color pages with adequate-to-high-quality binding (for example, CDL 2000-2001's "pamphlet" was a hardcover book with a dust jacket).

Now I'll retreat back to my lurking...

^It seems there are only 3 (out of 16) that has Ayu? Correct me if I am wrong.

[~angel*ayumi~]

Yeah, you´re lucky, the k'o'k Ayupans are much more expensive on yahoo than the secret one. I didn´t even get one of those 3 out of 20.
And I think the white one is even more rare than the colored ones, I see much more pink/blue on yahoo than white.

If you ordered recently they might have sold more than they could order, that's why they don't ship until 3 weeks, they allow you to order and then mu-mo or whoever it is from says they will only ship e.g.100 pieces and those who ordered last won't get it. Sad but that's how it works with goods.

@AyusJewel
I got the same email today. Does this really mean that all the items aren't available anymore??? I orderen the white Parka, photobook, wristbands and pink bag. This would really suck... I ordered everything on the 15th April *cries like mad*

[~angel*ayumi~]

I got no e-mail, and I ordered on the 15th too. I ordered Pamphlet, Photobook + a Phonestrap

[BabyJane]

^Now I really don't understand. I asked YA to keep my order. Maybe the items will be available again *prays*

[Yoake]

I got the same mail for my order (photobook +pamphlet). If I really can't have them, I'll cry T_T

[~angel*ayumi~]

mhh that´s strange, because they are still on YA page to order o.o
Well I will wait and see if they ship my order or not XD

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

yup, still waiting for my YA tour goods to ship also. placed the order on 4/16!

[ILoveGeniuses]

@Pieces of Seven Agreed with thatstacey. I have the 'pamphlet' from Kuu's Trick tour and its a full book filled with TONS of awesome photos. I can't say much for Ayu since I dont have any of hers, but I'd picture it to be the same type of thing. It's worth the buy for sure if you like photobooks.

[~angel*ayumi~]

It depends which Tour Pamphlet from Ayu you take. e.g. the (m)u Tour pamphlet is pretty big, has a holographic cover and really many many pictures, it has live pictures from My Story Tour and pictures of Ayu during Tour reharsal, etc.
the A Museum pamphlet on the other hand only has a CD-Booklet like photobook, but it has 15 double printed picture CDs (they are not playable) packed in a nice golden box.
But none of Ayu´s Pamphlets are just like brochures/leaflets^^

Sorry for my bad english, but I have a recommended deputy service to use for ordering it on mu-mo.

If you're having trouble with yesasia, my suggestion is order it directly from mu-mo using tenso (PS : I think you can read tutorial by aura~ here). And ordering from tenso mean you should have your own credit/debit card, and pay for the additional shipping from mu-mo (500 yen/shipment) + tenso restricted shipment (EMS only, I guess) + very cheap service fee (490 yen++).

The only bad thing about tenso is just... They can't ship to Indonesia, and some countries.

I found this deputy services and using it sometimes for ordering through Japanese websites that didn't accept credit card like miwa-shop / SCANDAL shop, and I think it's very reliable since all of my items arrived safely.

You can try this website : FROMJAPAN.

(+)
- you can change the shipping invoice value
- their shipping method is so many (EMS / Air Mail / SAL / Surface Mail / FedEx)
- sniper bid on YAJ
- bid on YAJ yourself
- can be paid using PAYPAL / many major credit cards

(-)
- 200 yen fee/item, up to 800 yen fee if you ordered 5 or more items from the same store
- your credit card will be charged on the time you order even if the item still preorder
- have to pay bank transfer fees (200 yen++)
- 5% fee on each Charge 1 and Charge 2


Here's some tutorial I made since I just bored...

Spoiler:

1. after you registered you account, just login

2. search and click this button


3. scroll below and check the "Other sites" options, and fill the form with item URL + Item name + quantity
(for example, I want to order the Uchiwa Light x2), then click the "Continue" button.


4. You'll be directed on the second form which you'll have to upload the pictures of the item you want, just check the box if the system already get the picture and click on "Upload selected images". If the system didn't detect the picture on the website, then you'll have to save it on your PC and upload it manually. After that, just click on the "Order" button below.


5. On the next page, you'll be notified that they'll check the price and send the price on business day.

6. Wait the email from them.

7. After you get the email, you'll get the link that directed you to their Charge 1 Payment form. This is consist of Item Price + 200 yen fee/item (up to 800 yen if you ordered from the same store). And you can pay using Paypal, Credit Card or deposit + 5% of the total.


8. Wait for their confirmation email after the item already arrived on their warehouse, and click the link to instruct how'd they'd ship the items (you can check on "Unspecified" if you want to know the shipping cost each method (SAL/Air Mail/EMS/FedEx). If you ordered another items (from same store / different store), you can wait UP TO 30 days (after the first item arrived) until all the items you ordered is arrived safely on their warehouse, and checked the items you want to send to your house.

9. Wait for their mail (again), click the link to get the "Charge 2 Payment form", on this form, you can write your own Shipping Invoice Value, and see the shipping cost of all the shipping methods they offer (if you check on "Unspecified" during form #2). The charge usually contains of {Domestic Shipping costs + Bank transfer fees + International Shipping cost} + 5% of {} combined.




10. They'll sent email to you if they shipped your package. Easy, huh?



For information, the last time I ordered from mu-mo for my DAI special DVD, I need to pay

Charge 1
Item price : 2100 yen
5% Usage fee : 105 yen

Charge 2
Domestic shipping cost : 500 yen
Bank transfer fee : 200 yen
SAL shipping : 240 yen
5% usage fee : 47 yen

grand total : 3192 yen

I hope this will help you
