New album 'Love songs' & Ayu-produced single 'Dream ON' 12/22 [IV]

[Picaflor 7/4]

Ugh, I don't see the point in buying something if you're never going to play it. What's the point then of even releasing cds?

I think everyone has their own opinion ! what's the point of wondering sb's buying purpose ?@@! If u like buying cds to play , just do it ! ^^!

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I never play my CDs, they just sit there. They look pretty though and I would never part with them.

Well a lot of people say that CDs have better quality than digital and vinyl has better quality than CDs.

No body even issues vinyls, the only person I could think of that does is Bjork and even then its limited run and there are like 6-7 records for a 10 song album lol. The packaging and the look of the vinyls is uber fantastic tho.

That's exactly what my CDs are doing, and I like that way. I like looking at them, rummaging through them, looking through the booklets. It's no scientific secret that buying and collecting is addictive, just more so for some than others : P

i couldn't agree more especially lately whene we're use dto listen to hundreds songs the music sometimes repeats but the lyrics are still deep and powerful. So it's still more important to catch them.

Why do we do anything at all?

If people like spending money on things they won't use let them. Those cds just look pretty, I make my own rip and watch the DVD whenever I feel like it.

There's no point in it, but there doesn't have to be a point in everything!
I do play mine though. Like a few weeks ago when I had a friend over, I popped disc 2 from A COMPLETE in my laptop because we were talking and suddenly it got quiet. Saved me from akward silence!

[Shirahime]

can someone tell me if the album will be sold in mu-mo?
because i'm waiting and i don't see the link in the TA.

by the way, i don't mind if i don't get any lucky draw gift, i just want to have the album on christmas!

CDs I would play but vinyl records I wouldn't. It's purely a collector's item, like Pieces said, not many people have record players and not many albums are released in record format so if Ayu were to release them I would invest in having them framed. I would NEVER play them. My other records I do from time to time... it's hooked up to the surround sound. Now if you're talking about music quality, THAT is the best way to go lol.

Picaflor 7/4 does have a point.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

if i buy is to use XD

i dont wanna die and my cds never been touched/listened/used... some randoms are gonna take over and use them anyway lol

[rakeru]

Even though I use my CDs, I can't deny that there's an immense satisfaction to be had from seeing a complete set, untouched and preserved. Especially given Ayu's volume of work, it's a completist's dream.

I like that train of thought. Very smart.

[Nackar_91]

By the way, I do use my CDs and DVDs occasionally. Still, like someone else before said, there's doesn't have to be a point to everything. Sometimes you just want to do something, period. : P

There's no point to collecting something, but it's great doing that as well.

[kumikomishitate]

I personally wouldn't waste my hard earned money just to buy something and never use it. I personally find it obnoxious and a big form of saying "I have money to waste" rather than allocating it to something more productive.

Then what's the point of buying posters..? Or any of Ayumi's collectors items, since I can imagine most would be scared of breaking her merchandise and would just use it for decor.

If people buy CDs and records it's their business, don't attack it People here think they look pretty and use them more for decor than anything. I'm like that too to an extent. I buy Ayu's CDs to both support her sales and to also build up a physical collection of her work. ~
