So I can imagine they use it like Mirrorcle World or Days/GREEN limited edition which would be super awesome!
The 4th Disc is just a compilation of all other versions of appears... lol

I'll buy it for sure!

Ohhh it is actually a vertical cover and all tracks are remastered!

[Norrel]

Does this mean we could possibly get a very Loveppears-heavy setlist for CDL this year? So random but that trailer has me so excited!

[Ryusei]

I wonder why they never release like an unreleased song along with anniversary editions like this. I don't believe that she only recorded these 16 songs for this album. imagine how amazing it would be to have a new song recorded in that era.

Anyways having the legendary picture in such amazing quality alone is already worth this release. + it's a legendary masterpiece that never gets old.

I agree. I'm a bit annoyed when they just resell songs we already heard. At least give us something new and interesting. It's obvious this is just for the money and the wants of fans were not taken into consideration.

[Aderianu]

I would like to see "appears (20th Anniversary edition)" as track 14 on disc 4

[ayuPanda]

I hope I can buy it at CDJ. Or I need to find someone who can order it for me XD

[njanjayrp]

One of the most iconic albums ever. I am definitely getting this!

[EndOfTheWorld]

I am very curious about the packaging. If it is going to be released with the full vertical photo it will probably be a pretty large package. I am thinking it will resemble the old "long box" packaging that CDs used to be released in many years ago.
The number of tracks included is certainly generous but it would have been nice to include demos or unreleased tracks. Or perhaps a new track or remade track. I also wish that it was a blu-ray instead of DVD. But then the price would be even more unreasonable.
I have been wanting her to release anniversary versions of her past albums for years now. I wonder why A Song For xx was skipped over and if this is just the beginning of a 20th anniversary re-release series.
The high resolution Loveppears photo is a great gift by itself. I was able to pull it right from the avex website. I never noticed the slight sparkle of Ayu's makeup on her face before.

Finally a proper official release of appears (Armin van Buuren's Sunset Dub), and also the iconic cover art without any text.

The remix was released also on the german appears single, so we've got that in 2005.

I'm aware of it, but Drizzly doesn't upload their stuff on Spotify. This re-release means Avex will share it on every streaming platform!

[owlflight]

If it’s released digitally, I’ll buy it!

[pedronekoi]

I guess from now on we will see a lot of those re-releases just like the labels do with other acts (Matsuda Seiko, Nakamori Akina, etc etc). I wasn't expecting that but YES for the iconic jacket being back again! Hope they do a nice billboard with the jacket again. <3

[DogboyShugo]

I guess I'm just not excited for re-releases...It's nice to have remastered tracks, but i can't deny the lack of excitement i am feeling

[Isicio]

I want the límited edition package

[LOGMAN]

Gah I want a 20th Anniversary "A Song for xx"!
That album needs a remaster.
