Wow! you have a nice big collection out there, touchedstar! You know, you should not regret that some of your CDs aren't in great condition anymore.
I was also paranoid of what will my CDs condition will be when I usually used them but, I don't care much now. It's a different feeling when actually play the CDs than listening on PC or MP3. But I'm still careful in handling my precious CDs but you know too much carefulness can lead to more mishandling. (Which happened to me a lot of times!) |

That's great that you already have I am.. and RAINBOW.. I just got mine last January. But they are slightly used but It's OK. I have to be practical these days. But someday I'll buy brand new copies, I hope!:) |
I started to collect Ayu CDs when I was in the 9th grade (3rd year HS).
I was victimized by a MY STORY bootleg in a local store here since I was newbie on buying genuine stuffs. I thought its okay to buy bootleg... but it wasn't good. I promised myself that I will be extra careful to it more. The very first single I've got is glitter/fated (CD+DVD), when I've open the box... I was amazed that this is REALLY a genuine one. Since that day, I've gone crazy saving money for buying Ayu CDs in the future. In my whole collection, about 60% of it was bought on my own wallet and the rest are support from my brother-in-law(even my sis) and my aunt from U.S.A. My aunt bought me 4 singles, namely HEAVEN, AUDIENCE, Free & Easy, and evolution. My brother-in-law gave me a (miss)understood (CD+DVD) on Christmas day of 2007. Recently, I was planning to get 5 singles this year. But since there's a news about the new album release, Im still planning it to cancel it. I've made up my mind that I'll get the album since I want to have a new album for my poor lonely (m)u. So, I've planning to get SEASONS, &, and of course, NEXT LEVEL (CD+DVD). :D That's it! ^_~-* |
Very nice...I should take a picture of mine soon. I'm too lazy to put them on the shelves haha...

I've got a pretty small collection, consists of:
fairyland CD+DVD Memorial Address MY STORY (miss)understood CD+DVD+on my way A Best 2 CD+2DVD Mirrorcle World(DOY Version) ayu-mi-x 6 -GOLD- Coming Soon RULE/Sparkle CD+DVD Next Level I recently bid on SEASONS and vogue on ebay, so hopefully i'll get those to add to my collection. I'm really interested in becoming a collector, but I'm still a bit confused. Can somebody explain middlemen(Celga, Crescent Shop) to me? I was reading their sites but it's a lot to take in with all the fees, etc. It sounds really expensive, but i'd really like to find the rarer stuff since ebay US doesn't have much. |

I just won ayu-mi-x and Startin'/Born To Be...(Cd only) at ebay! Unfortunately I can't buy NEXT LEVEL limited edition..huhuhu... |

Congrats to you!
Surely indeed! Collecting ayu stuff is so expensive! My pocket cries! But it's worth! BTW: Does Boys & Girls have OBI? |
Nope it doesn't. It's one of the older singles that doesn't have an obi. Back in those days, I think only albums had obis.

That is strange Boys & Girls didn't have an OBI.
Because Utada's 12cm singles Automatic/time will tell, Movin' on without you, and First Love all came with OBI's, even though being packaged like the Boys & Girls single. I guess avex didn't bother making OBI's for the 12cm releases. |
Random question regarding the collections..Did ur treat ur Ayu collections with extreme care? I did that..i was so careful with all the OBI, plastic covering, holding the cd with so much care (scared that there wld be scratches so on)
|
^ Yes! I totally freaked out when I saw my GUILTY OBI tear a bit at the top :dead2 It's not just Ayu though, every CD that I own are treated with extreme care, LOL.
Argh, I so want that damn USB :grumpy |
I just received this morning my ayu-mi-x, Startin'/Born To Be...(CD only) and Boys & Girls! ayu-mi-x rocks especially the acoustic orchestra side with some reggae mixes!! I'm now loving teens! I really love it!
Now I know why Boys & Girls didn't have OBI, it's because the OBI details are in the sleeve itself... And I was amazed that it's the only Cd case that differs among all ayu's 12cm singles. Quite slim. Quote:
Whew! that was long...:) |
Yes! I buy wrappers from CDJapan for my CDs. Not only does it keep the CDs in good condition, it also makes the CD looks nicer to some extent. XD
|
^ Thanks for that info!
Now, I really want to get some of that. BTW, I had confusion on getting CD wrappers. Which is for CD+DVD and CD Only? I've decided to get her new album and 2 old singles, namely & and SEASONS. But there's a huge obstacle ahead. I must try to earn as much as possible before the release date. I want to have an another album. :( My sis wanted to buy it to me but they're just settling on their new apartment with her husband. I understand them as much as possible and thank God that I still have the $10 on my YA account. So far, my sis ordered me Rule/Sparkle with Days and free poster. I can't wait to have that! X3 |
I also put all my CDs back in the original wrapping, some of my Cds are even original sealed as I had them on ym PC allready.

I have a few cds that are no longer sealed (from when I first started collecting) but now most everything is sealed or partially sealed. It sucks because a few of my cds have cracks, none of them are ayu though. |
