hmv japan still have it, at 3780 yen(around USD$36) and the shipping is cheaper then CDJ and YA(even with their so-call free shipping)

I had contact them, and what they told me is the book has to be reprint from the publisher and that it will arrive on 23th.

but reprint???? is it the B4 or the 2nd press, in smaller size?

[jon_the_d]

my yesasia order that I've been checking everyday since the 9th is FINALLY "ready to be shipped" !!!!!

[Iyreen]

mine from cdJapan is in shipping process too ~

[music_*]

Mine just got shipped out today!!
I believe it's still the B4 one. The description on the page still says so, and so far there hasn't been any official news regarding the smaller version already being printed (or has there?). And also, the price didn't change. If it was the smaller one, I doubt it'd stay at US$62.
But if I really get the smaller version, I'm gonna complain(!!!) T-T
And maybe try and get my hands onto a B4-sized one. ._.
My poor wallet's feeling very empty these few weeks.

Somehow I don't know about that But Dora now has two copies of the big version on his store on ebay if you definitely want that one.

What's the bet someone who orders the smaller version will get some other unannounced goodie? xD

[Keiichi_JPU]

YesAsia shipped mine today!! hope it's still B4 version!

[jbrat2219]

I hope so too! It's not worth the money unless it is lol.

true

but it will be B4! I can feel it!

I think that shipping within 21 days is right.

I ordered my copy on April 8th, and it was shipped today (April 22nd), that is exactly two weeks, so 14 days.

It says "WITHIN 21 days" that means it can be shipped sooner.

[dzinup]

YesAsia shipped my book today!!

[kuri♥ayu]

yay mines has finally been shipped!!!!! i can't wait to recieve it

[kendelle]

Lucky you!

I think you'll def get First Press ;D

[kamomilla]

I really want to buy this photobook, but is it really worth it? I want to make sure before I buy it. If it's nothing special, then... yeah. :-P

Well, the biggest draw is that it's the compiled 102 VIVI DejiDeji Diaries that Ayu has done so far. Every single one has been put together in the one book!

They are arranged in numerical order and each year page has a list of Ayu's discography from that year and little images of Ayu's photoshoots from that year in it.

The beach shots are new and there's a new interview too but they're in Japanese.

I like it because it collects the diaries for all these years together, a few are missing from the collection that are scanned. Mostly the earliest ones.

I'd totally recommend if you can speak/are learning japanese or are after your first Ayu book purchase. The quality of the book is amazing, it feels lovely to hold, it's really smooth paper xD

At this point we don't know if the second edition will be cheaper, it's probably best to order asap so you get the big version, the diaries look lovely and have been rearranged to fit onto one massive B4 page per entry, where they're usually 4 pages in the magazine

[LacusClyne]

^if anyone wants the first press, it will be best to order now, as it's already confirm that the taiwan chinese version 100% won't have the B4 size, so i expect more people buying the big one.

[k21sh3n]

^ so there'll be a chinese/taiwan version of it???? does the information come from a reliable source?

[jbrat2219]

All the diaries won't be in Chinese though... right? Probably just the interview and such.

[jon_the_d]

ayu's diaries are available in the chinese version of vivi IN CHINESE, so if they do a book I think they'd just use the translated ones...and if some of the earlier ones weren't translated, then I'm sure they'd just put the extra effort in to translate them.....

if they do a chinese version I'll probably have to buy that too....

[jbrat2219]

Oh wow, that's so cool! I never knew that. If I were into Chinese more I probably would buy that too. But I can't read a word of it!
