Anyway, I heard some bad things about YesAsia but my packages always arrived in perfect condition, they use so much bubble wrap, there couldn't have been any damages


I usually don't watch any new PVs or previews of them, I listen to the mic recordings but they never left a bad impression on the HQ song.
I usually wait for my album to arrive but YesAsia is sometimes so slow, especially now that they'll send it out during Christmas, I'm sure I'll have to wait for it for like 1 month ;___;
During R'n'RC I was so desperate!! I had to wait almost 1 month because of the volcano!! I'm never gonna wait this long again!
My estimate arrival date from YA is between the 4th and 6th of January >_<
hopefully my order with CDJapan comes sooner....

as a conclusion, Hong Kong's Yesasia service is worst than the one in US

I don't really remember mine but I'm just worried since around Christmas way more people send things with the post, the post offices are really busy round this time. The packages need more time to arrive~
I guess it also depends on which shipping method you used ^^

According to the information we were given, the MicroSD only works in certain Japanese cell phones. But the way people can hack electronics these days, I wouldn't be surprised if someone could find out a way to get it to work in other cell phones, lol.

just what we need. as if region restricted dvds weren't enough.
Now we get the same thing for miroSDs. >> What is the point? you maybe keeping the product exclusive, but you are also losing tons of sales by turning away other countries.

^ lol, please not as an album cover!! Especially not if it's called Love songs xD
Just imagine ayu in the sparkle outfit on the cover of an album called Love songs
But could be interesting if she'd wore one again in a PV

The product is already exclusive, that's why it's the limited edition. She's going to appeal to her fanbase in her native country more no matter what. The majority of Avex's revenue for her products doesn't come from outside of Japan. They may have sent out, what... 100 LE boxes for each online store. Probably less than that. All the boxes sold out overseas would barely make a dent in sales. So why cater to us?

Getting Ayu's attention and informing her that we're out here is not enough. I think what we have to do is create more of a demand internationally outside of Asia. Why do other countries get special releases from popular western artists at times? Because the demand for them is extremely high, thus world tours, international goods etc. It's impossible to know how many Ayu fans there really are in the world but my guess is not enough to make Avex pay attention to us at this moment.

We're able to get what we want every now and then like ayu trance 4, but the bigger things such as a world tour, international TA, products that are not restricted to only the Japanese... well that's going to take more time. Soooooorry this turned into a long post when really it was suppose to be that first sentence!

It depends.
Are you a huge collector who love limited editions, don't matter if you use them or not? So, don't cancel the order.
If you're practical (I don't know if it's the right word lol) and you think to waste your money with something you will not use, well you should cancel it.

i don't see it as a problem because Ayu is a japanese artist and she is releasing a new japanese album in japan where japanese people can use the SD card with their japanese phones. see a pattern ?

It would be nice to be able to use the SDcard but it's just not a high priority towards the international market. So i don't think we need to bother Ayu with this, because it's not really a problem
i remember the old days (around 1999) when it was pretty much impossible to get anything Ayu related... so yeah i'm kinda used to it i guess XD

i think this year we've achieved so much already as international fans that we are maybe getting a bit (too) spoiled.
I think in general we are getting spoiled by Ayu, other artist don't even release half as much material and editions, that's why i love getting the limited editions, just the chance of owning something really special and sponsoring Ayu with it

Let's start a giant campaign to promote Love songs in our native countries together and get it to sell 25,000-100,000 copies in each!
