I'm a photobook kinda person, so I will most likely be buying it.

I hope it's not a limited thing and I can pick it up in 6-12 months time when I have the cash aside for it!

My list of "wants" is already long as it is!!

another book to get released and another book to keep getting its release date pushed back

pommy48 2nd February 2012 03:57 AM

once the photobooks were gifts that came together with first press purchasing, now another way of earning money..Ah, how things change

truehappiness 2nd February 2012 01:35 PM

They probably have a reason for doing it like this. It probably is going to be a photobook much like SUPER AYU or FIVE+LOVE&HOPE and have much more substance than a free first press bonus photobook would have. (Also probably larger)

oh no... why can't they just put it together on the regular CD+DVD version of the album??? :(

tantalicious 2nd February 2012 01:59 PM

is it gonna like on/off my way photobook?

truehappiness 2nd February 2012 02:34 PM

We don't really know, but since they are releasing it separately, it'll probably be larger than the GUILTY/on my way/off my day/Rock'n'Roll Circus photobooks.

I'm really curious about this book and cover-art for Party Queen!

Corvina 2nd February 2012 04:07 PM

Why didn't they include this photobook in one of the editions for Party Queen?
Avex gets worse and worse with money sucking, especially with Ayu. @_@

Precisely. Ayu constantly floods us with items to buy because hey, a girl's gotta make money, and I think it's a bit impractical to include all this stuff in one go. From a business stand point, it makes sense to separate these things to allow for greater revenue. From a practical standpoint, that crap's just wa~y too big to all fit in one package XD; Not even a shipping package, but just a release in general. It might not be some people's thing to have these photos, either. So the separate release allows those who really want it (as in, those who care enough, not saying that you HAVE to care) to pick it up.

It sucks in terms of cost for us overseas folks.. But things will never be fair :( In the end, when I get overwhelmed with things like this, I remind myself that western artists NEVER do these things for fans. The album releases are standard, the music videos are never released (because most of them are just stupid anyway... not worth buying), and there's really no point in buying the actual, physical copies of the album. I think sometimes, we can get a little spoiled by our Japanese musicians, and our expectations can be a bit daft.

I'm sorry that I'm beating a dead horse here XD; But yes, I'd rather have options of things to buy then be a fan of an artist whose releases are so few and far between, and then they decide to take a break O_o

I don't include Namie in this because that fantastic lady is always working lol even if she isn't releasing.

Sad!!! I want to pre-order this!

exactly. i'm so tired of all the people complaining that this photobook should be included with the CD release. if it is the size of on my way/off my day then i will agree, but this will 100% for sure be an actual BOOK. or they could have included it in the album, but then the cost would have gone up even higher and people would complain about that. either way, if you want the book you'd have to pay for it.

and besides, like i've said before, ayu and avex are both here to make money. they're not running a charity for fans who think things are too expensive. :no if they don't sell lots of products to us, they don't make money. :shrug
