First Ayu album since MY STORY I might not own!

[Zeke.]

^ Yes but the thing is, I will not be able to buy this album for another year or so - all my money is going to a music program in New York and I would like to have my rent for 4 months in advance saved up to pay upfront. I am not waiting that long to hear the album and once I've listened to it and heard it, after a year, I will not want to buy it then. Lol. It's just part of the thrill as I was so looking forward to getting it on Christmas day like I did with MY STORY. It was such a magical feeling and I wanted to relive some of that nostalgia of that moment

maybe you can buy OS press first?since its way cheaper than JP press.
you can always sell the OS press away after you've bought the JP press in the future (it is valuable especially when the stores run out of first press )

Play-Asia is selling CD+DVD for USD16.90 (exclude shipping) : HERE

but if you don't have extra money right now,you can always wait until you have extra cash,and buy it from ebay.there is 2 seller on ebay who always have her cds on sales (with first press somemore)

Buying doesn't necessarily make you a good fan.
So you really don't have to buy it.

but you can always wait a little longer to buy.you are still supporting her (although your support can't reflect on her first day sales.but you are STILL supporting her!you still giving her your hard earn money.if you get what i mean)

to me , I don't think measuring how much you're a loyal dedicated fan of ayumi is based on owning all of everything found in her discography . That's just so ... wrong to me & it's basically a way of inflating your ego in a way or 2

For my case , I have all of her albums & only 2 of her singles (99% I have of her are OS press cos I think it's ridiculous to pay so much for a Japan press >_>) but I don't feel that I'm a lousy ayumi fan because as long as you enjoy supporting ayumi & doing what you does best

I already have been listening to ayumi for close to 4 years now & I'm sure there're a LOT of things that I don't have of her (be it when comes to music & non music related items of her) but I don't make a big deal about it cos it's like , what good I get at the end of the day in a matter like this ?

I agree. Alot of people, not all.night.raver specifically, believe that you must love all and own all to be a fan and expect others to do the same. An elitist's mentality is all it is.

all.night.raver, your education and rent are above anything. There are times when you have to make choices about where to spend your money. If you end up not wanting to buy an album in the future then it probably wasn't an album to your liking to start with.

Or you can buy the OS version like many have said, which I believe is available on yesasia for like a fraction of the cost of the JPN version.

wow music program? you're pursuing a passion of yours yea? Well, you may be sad now, but ONE DAY, once you get your hands on that album, you will still feel extremely great, no matter how long it takes.

I haven't bought an Ayu album since MY STORY. Get with the digital age, lol.

Now, if Ayu released stuff on vinyl.. I would totally buy all her stuff cuz I'm a huge hipster like that.
