Are all Ayu's albums available in Japan?

Well,my friend is going to Japan next 2 months and she said that she could buy every album I wanted from Ayu.
So I decided on all of them (yay,lucky me!) besides of GUILTY (because I already have it).

So the problem is that I don't know if CD shops in Japan still have her all albums (I mean from A Song for XX to Secret)...

So would there be any more copies available for me?

Most likely. When I was in Japan last summer they had most of her albums at the stores I went to (HMV and Tower Records). There are multiple stores to look for them so I'm sure your friend won't have much trouble finding them.

Well, none of them are out of print so they should be able to. Sounds really expensive though. XD

Japanese albums in Japan are available like American albums in USA
No matter how old it is, you should be able to get it~!
Since Ayumi's albums aren't out of print,
your friend shouldn't have any problems finding them for you.
The only shops I know are Tsutaya and HMV.
Many smaller CD shops would have them, but all depends
on where your friend wants to shop~

But from the looks of it someone has the money to buy them all at once and does not require the shipping =).
I wish my friends were as nice as your friend. I'm missing 4 for the collection!

Apparently, Ayu's albums are evrywhere here... I guess, i can still see some My Story to Secret albums on major CD shops here but you know, there are CD Shops every where and we also have these USED CD shops scattered. LOL... You can find them easily...

I'd suggest asking your friend to look around first at used store CD shops since you can find ayu's albums for as low as 200 yen! Its just a matter of looking around and being lucky.

YES, ayu still have a huge presence in cd shops. and if you go to second hand cd shops...(i cant remember the name of it, but there are two in shibuya and one in shinjuku) they have every cd you can imagine. i even bought 3 fly high singles, and 2 SETS of ayu-mi-x III excerpts there!

With Ayumi as famous as she is, I'm sure all her albums will be available - even the old ones.

WOW,that's awesome!
and btw. I'm paying for all the albums (I collected all money needed for them all).
But I'm not sure if price on the official site counts for the price in the shops?
(and thank you )

^Of course it may be a bit different. If you want them new I would suggest budgeting about 3000 yen (or 30 american dollars) for each CD - new CDs are really expensive in Japan. Of course older ones may have a dropped price, and of course used are much cheaper.

Oh..ok then.
Thank you all for answering!
And you know - the most funny thing is that "my friend" is actually friend of my friend's mother,and the best part is I have never seen that girl
But she said that she could get me anything and as much as I want from Japan and I was like

no you're wrong on that

you only enjoy free shipping if you live in Japan & if you buy things from HMV Japan . HMV Japan will not charge you shipping if you purchase a certain amount from whatever you buy from them online provided if you're staying in Japan .

International shipping don't enjoy that perk unfortunately
