A member of ayuchina posted this notice about the Asia Tour:

睡醒了，爬起来补充一句。在入场后等待开演的时间里，大屏幕上播放了今年ASIA TOUR DVD的预告。从这个预告来看，这次的DVD会有一张跟A BEST 2黑盘第二张DVD一样的纪录片式的DVD，全程记录ASIA TOUR的幕后花絮。从大屏幕上打出的广告语来看，这个纪录片是从1000小时以上的素材记录中剪辑出来的 ，
看来kaz又为这东西忙的焦头烂额的了。最意外的是在预告里看到了五星红旗飘飘。可惜的是，DVD的发售日 还是没有公布，只在最后写了一句2008年春发售。不知道这个春字究竟指的是几月了。但是真的 十分期待啊！

Google translation:

Wake up, climb up add. In the waiting开演the admission after time, broadcast on the big screen this year ASIA TOUR DVD notice. From this notice perspective, this will be a DVD with the A BEST 2 and the second DVD disc as documentary-style DVD, the whole record ASIA TOUR of behind-the-scenes. From the big screen outgoing advertising language of view, this documentary is from 1000 hours over records of the material edited out,
Kaz also seems busier these things burn at all. Most accidents in the notice, the five-star red flag fluttering see. Unfortunately, the DVD on the sale or not disclosed, was made only in the final sentence in 2008 spring sale. This spring do not know what the word refers to a few months. But really looking forward ah!


From what I can understand the Asia Tour DVD will also contain a documentary but a release date has not been annouced yet.

[truehappiness]

So it'll be out spring 2008, meaning past February. UGHH~

[criminal]

GAWD. This better sell, like, 150k when it's out, because SALES ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. Yeah and there better be some MAJOR HYPE building with the way avex is stalling the release.

[truehappiness]

Well, her last 100k+ DVD was like, A MUSEUM in 2003.

Lately she's been doing 60-80k. :\ Which is okay. [usually the CDLs are around 40k, and the ATs gather around 70-80k..]

[KuroixShiroi_Namida]

w00t! Can't wait for this. Great news for the new year lol.

[TITANIC]

her latest realese AT MU 2006 sold 100K.. its good...
kuu cn sold more than 160K..
i hope dvd secret tour must better

[truehappiness]

Koda's DVDs sell a lot because she's had, what 3-4 out? Ayu's got like 10-20 and counting! Same goes for Ai Otsuka's high numbers.

Here are the last recorded sales for AT06:
40　47　***,591　*81,623　18　ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2006 A～(miss)understood～ ／ 浜崎あゆみ

[TITANIC]

oww AT 2006 MU couldnt pass 100K??
i think it sold more than 100K....

thanks for the info

[truehappiness]

I'll paste all of Ayu's sales data here from 2002 onward [sales are low for ST02 and AT02 because they were in the COMPLETE LIVE BOX, and released at the same time]:

36　--　***,875　***,875　*1　ayumi hamasaki COUNTDOWN LIVE 2005-2006 A(07.12)　浜崎あゆみ <--rerelease last last month

So far:
ayumi hamasaki COMPLETE LIVE BOX - 72,826 x 3 = 218,478 [since there were 3 FULL DVDs in the set originally]
STADIUM TOUR 2002 A - 14,306
ARENA TOUR 2002 A - 6,583
complete clip box - 64,323
A MUSEUM - 100,017
ARENA TOUR 2003-2004 A - 69,829
ARENA TOUR 2003-2004 A rerelease - 1,536
ARENA TOUR 2005 - 86,887
COUNTDOWN LIVE 2005-2006 - 57,405
COUNTDOWN LIVE 2005-2006 rerelease - 875
ARENA TOUR 2006 - 81,623
BEST of COUNTDOWN LIVE 2006-2007 - 600,000 [using avex's sales # due to being bundled with A BEST 2]

TOTAL: 1,069,078 DVDs.

The total without the BoCDL is 469,078. Which is about 117,269 DVDs per year. [2003-2007]

I think that you could argue that Ayu's CDL and ARENA TOUR total matches up with Koda's 'sales' of her one live DVD during the year. :\

I think that's a lot of DVDs for one solo artist in a span of what, 5 years? O_o

[criminal]

Oh, I also knew that AT06 sold over 100k, I guess it was false wiki information, then.
Thanks for the DVD sales!

Spoiler:

I'm a neatfreak.

Well, it's HIGHLY likely that it sold 100k, but it just was never in the top 50 or so on the DVD Oricon charts.

The number of 100,000 is probably the one from avex. The Oricon numbers seem much more reliable even though they don't count when the sales are below a certain point [like under 400-500 sometimes doesn't make the top 50]

[TITANIC]

how about the VCD sales like dome tour and concert tour A and B???

[truehappiness]

Unfortunately, those aren't available from the source that I use. I can try to ask around though.

I've just become aware that a few of my numbers are wrong by a few thousand. I'll ask the person who got the sales to search.

Oh, and DOME TOUR is her highest selling concert apparently, with sales of over 132,000.

[ayuayu798]

YAY! I want to get it soooo badly! I cant wait !

[evolutionricky]

hope its filmed in hong kong.

[/Rief]

FINALLY!!!!

[yoshino]

wow that would be great!
Faster come i want it!

[alternarist]

why is the CM for ASIA TOUR DVD out for that guy but not for the public like us??? if its this spring then it shld be real soon..

its already 2008! we waited for more than half a year. we can wait for a bit longer....

and if they are taking so long to edit, it means it shld have less DVDs. let say 3? cos if they are 5? they no need to edit so much!

[Kodayumi]

Thanks for the news.Im going to go broke again XD
