^Oh, OK, thanks for explaining it to me. And sorry, I didn't notice that it was already discussed here. I usually try to read every page in every thread here in Ayu sections, but this time I must have missed one page or something. :)

the new layout of TA is very beautiful!

WHY couldn't the first press posters have looked like that?!

^Also, that's a cool little setup. I would kill for a piece of it.
But really, who's going to read that bio? Everyone will pass it and be like "ooh-- too long didn't read."

^
^Damn she had a lot of singles in 2000.

I just noticed that on version D of L, the piano version of sdw is the first song, that's a very interesting placement for it. considering it's a remix of a b-side/cover song.

^^^thanks for sharing

but still crossroad promo? i want that standing figure!!! LOL

^what are going to do with it? %)

^LOL...one thing for sure, i'm not doing dirty thing with it...LOL...

yeah, like every part of the site works except for her blog, and it seems like she posted a lot of updates judging by twitter so i really want to see them!

Woaw! Cool set up!

They were late to the party for NEXT LEVEL, and even later still for Sunrise/Sunset, which they didn't even put on her artist page, initially. Here we have yet to see any releases since. It's counterproductive.

I haven't bought them yet, due to yours and Stacey's points. (Although, the bulk of my Ayu library comes from the US iTunes, as their selection is vast, in spite of being incomplete).

Likewise. When you said so on Twitter, I stopped because it hadn't occurred to me. Can't we just tweet Avex? I'm sure it would get lost in the flood to directly tweet Ayu. It looks very abnormal.

that's a one hot Austrian here :o

I emailed iTunes Support at iTunesStoreSupport@apple.com - you should too! I mentioned the odd compilation albums and also requested they start adding the new material asap.

There's also an official requests page they have, all of us in the U.S. here should fill out. :)

i don't really like last angel at first listening, but that may change since it reminds me very much of her old songs ^^ i like the direction her music is moving to, but the pvs are so.... i don't know how to put it, they seem not to be planned/thought out well enough... (...virgin road's one...? what the heck? O_O)

Today I was sitting in Japanese class and before the teacher came in I was listening to Virgin Road and Last Angel, my obsessions. The teacher arrived and as soon as she does we usually have a quiz but I forgot to turn my media player off before taking the quiz and the class was very quiet and all you could hear through my headphones was Ayu's random "iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~~~~~~~~" every now and then. We all know how piercing her "iii"'s are so even though the volume wasn't too loud that's all you could hear LOL. I scrabbled through the test and quickly turned it off. I hope I did well.... I'm just glad Last Angel wasn't on because when she goes for those high-notes it's piercing as hell LOL.

^OMG lol XD

By the way, Japanese class means your in japan right now or do you learn Japanese in an optional class in school or voluntary class after school/work? I ask because I just came from my Japanese class I go every Wednesday.^^

LOL that is such a perfect story.

I don't go to school in Japan ;-;... Japanese class is required for my major, though.
