[News] LOVEppears / appears -20th Anniversary Edition-

[jbrat2219]

I was listening to it today and I really think it is one of her most unique albums as far as music style. Her discography is so massive and each album has its own charm but LOVEppears stands out. What other albums do you think compare in style?

I was surprised when I saw the teaser trailer and since I haven't bought the original release I will buy this as soon as I can. I noticed that some people here mentioned other artists and how they handled their own anniversary releases I have to say that I was hoping for something a little more substantial from this release since it is a great opportunity but in the end beggars can't be choosers.
For example I think that Alanis Morissette did a great job with her own anniversary release and even though I have all of her albums I haven't bought Jagged Little Pill anniversary edition

I wonder if I can get this local.
Also, Im hoping they do something like this for I am...
that was my album!

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I want it for rainbow
With track 00 actually included.
Or at least remake the website to listen to it. :-p

But I preordered this. Since I skipped out on trouble this is the first music related product I’ve purchased in a while from her.

Even raw demos would be good, since the lyrics could be different. Well, even LOVE ~since 1999~ would be something to look forward since not everyone has the original LOVE ~Destiny~ single.

Whatever, as I said this is not something for me. I'm happy for those who can finally have a copy of it, because it is a pretty good album.

On a side note, I wonder why they are not using the "Black Ayu" for promoting this release, since it is tie-in with appears... Well, I guess it would be too much controversy for today's standards.

But overtime her albums and singles became shorter. I wouldn't be surprised if we actually did get some tracks closer to the demos in the form of alternate versions, as it was pretty usual for her to release 2, 3 different versions at the same track back them.

Why not remaster all tracks to 96/48???

"I just can't remember how small my boobs were at that time!" said by ayu.

Anyone else think it's interesting that they've avoided using the appears cover anywhere? Maybe Ayu/Avex is woke and unproblematic queens.

For globe Avex released DELUXE edition albums (original tracks+all instrumental tracks including unreleased ones) and Master Tapes.

DELUXE albums were not released physically but I think that was because of globe scandal and tragedy.

I'd LOVE to listen to LOVEppears demos/different mixes, some of her songs in their earlier stages sounded very different when they were used in CMs back then (immature on the appears disc being one of them), it would've been amazing to experience this album through another perspective, such a shame it won't happen this time

ANy news about a Oversea Version?

[jean-baptiste]

I think this is an interesting release! I personally don't think the price range is justified, and as I have the original press, I'm not interested in purchasing it myself, but if I had extra cash to throw around I'd consider getting this.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

In a perfect world they’d have the poster plastered everywhere. I wonder if there’ll be promotion?

I would love to see her current HER to pose the same cover pose for this 20th Anniversary release, under the original cover slip-case... the 20 years ago Ayu, and the 20 year later Ayu, I want this 🥰 would you?

[extepan]

I hope there will be an affordable Taiwan version of the 4CD + DVD!

[Evan Odinson]

Already pre-ordered the limited edition because is going to look good next to my original edition

Yes that would be very cool

[visionfactory]

I think it's more likely we get appears (single) cover at the back
