"The 8th is Ayu Day", 5 Consecutive Months of New Releases

[Chibi-Chan]

I love it when artists do such consecutive releases! There is always so much more excitement for the releases! (at least for me^-^)

I don't care if it's a mini or a single. In the end I can't afford 5 minis nor 5 consecutive singles and will download it either way.

[happiholic★]

^That's a good way of looking at it

[Chibi-Chan]

^I know, right?

And honestly, most of us will download those minis and wouldn't even buy them if they were singles. Only 39 CD's of LOVE were preordered so far here at ahs and some people ordered multiple versions (see the LOVE purchase count thread). So why be angry about it?
See the positive site: THERE WILL BE A LOT OF NEW AYU MUSIC EVERY ****ING MONTH! For the case she releases every month music and not a calendar or DVD or so. I would be very pissed if something that would be released regardless will be added to this. But I'm hoping that avex and Ayu learned from Acid Black Cherry's 5 month 5 singles project. I mean it was VERY good promotion and so yasu got the number one instead of Ayu.
Just a thought: maybe they really want to make the same thing with Ayu. But 'cos yasu made it just one year ago and this way he took the number one away from Ayu they want to prevent people saying she just copies this. So maybe they really will release only minis or minis and singles - so that the project is basically the same but still different.

^I could see that, yeah. But, as you said, as long as there is new music, its all good

^Or Jewel!!

JEWEL was already a planned song. It was rumored (planned?) to be a double a-side with 1LOVE, due to those songs both being used in Panasonic CMs.

Actually, yes you are right. Plus, there was something about its PV, too. Its one of the most expensive, yeah? I don't think that something that elaborate was just Ayu's last minute decision to be included on a mini-gone-full album.

[adantatu2]

Many of us don't buy this mini-album, because we think she could release the songs in a future album or because we are poor

[Foyuki]

that's creepy 5 consecutive stuff collection

[happiholic★]

^Creepy?

[Foyuki]

^
^yup that's the feeling of my purse!
and 15th Anniversary avex will be releasing some collections or boxes

[Aderianu]

I don't mind to see box with two HOTEL Love Songs concerts on blu ray.

[TeamAyu2004]

^ wouldnt mind very much as long we got something extra with it...
maybe a new photoshoot or something.

[happiholic★]

^I think that would still suck, even with the photobook or whatever. What would have been the point of buying the prior releases?

[TeamAyu2004]

^ why not? :p

[happiholic★]

Save money, space on my shelf for new releases, etc. I'm no collector, so for me its a waste. I was really upset when I bought Kuu's 4 TIMES and all of it was released on Japonesque. I traded it for a crap ton of expensive Japanese candy

[TeamAyu2004]

^ nope.. I keep all her singles.
I never understood people you bought singles and then complained that they were on an album. .

But this coming from a girl who went to a Gwen stefani concert but doesnt really enjoy her music?

Well, I'm sorry, as I said I'm no collector. I can't afford to be. I try to buy the singles that I feel will have something extra about them that make it worth buying both the single and the album. For example, 3 SPLASH has a song and remixes that didn't make it onto the album, so for me that's a single worth buying. I want to support them in any way that I can, but as I said I can't afford to, so I'm just selective with my single choices. I can generally tell when a single will have things that will not be included in future releases, but that time I was wrong. Since I was planning on getting the candy anyway, I just made the best out of the situation.

And I don't understand what that last comment had to do with anything, except to be an insult towards me. But, if that's the kind of character you want to portray, go right ahead.

[TeamAyu2004]

^ LOL... you thought that was an insult? I guess thats just the kind of person you are.

Since you dont understand, let me explain

I was referring to you spending money on something that you particular didn't care for ( Gwen stefani concert). When we talked, I do believe, in this thread about ayumi making new music or not and how it would effect her concerts. I said mainly fans go and way would someone that doesnt care for her music go to a concert. You said you didnt care for Gwen stefani, but went to her concert.

So.... if you have money to blow on something you dont care for... why worry about a single that has all the songs on an album?

You took a statement that I made on a completely different subject out of context and threw it back in my face to try and somehow prove a point. You, actually, misinterpreted what I meant with the Gwen Stefani comment, so it actually has no relevance to this conversation.
