^ but what im saying is that I dont think she planned happening in 2011, it wasn't until CDL that we knew she did anything for it and it wasn't till than that it was going to be the theme song to her 2012 tour..
I honestly dont think she was going to do it with the 2011 version of the tour.
So that might be one of the songs that was recorded in London for the first time, not rerecorded.

Actually, the announcement for Happening Here said that it was originally made for the original HOTEL Love songs tour that got scrapped.

Well, if that is true then it wouldn't be a new recording and we have nothing to fear!
(Hopefully anyways....)

lmao at the last thread getting closed.

I'm super excited to see what the inside pictures are.

Those shoes are awesome!

My point is, if the artists didn't care about their sales in any way, shape, or form, there wouldn't even be a need for record labels to exist. But, that's why its called the music business and by virtue of the fact that it is indeed a business its ultimately about making money. From Ayu to Koda to the tiniest artist on the label they are part of that business and therefore are always going to be concerned at least somewhat about sales. Of course they all care about their fans too, but money/business is also a part of the equation and not a small one. For example, every artist these days have multiple versions of the same album/single and to be frank, that has nothing to do with the fans and all to do with making money.

Brilliant post. It's naive to believe ayu is only doing what she does just out of love. She has expenses and that's what she does for a living. I've thought some of her releases were to milk fans tbh, but well, i guess it's business... :shrug

Does using them in weekends count? :P

It seems yeasia is not having a lottery now, i was really looking forward to win an extra item when purchasing the album :(

^^ i only see a pair of shoes honestly :P

^ que onda contigo, de verdad... tienes que seguir sacando a Koda solo para llamar la atencion? -________-U

^no es con mala intención . Y no ando sacando a kumi para nada !! . Solo que es gracioso .

Again? It wasn't that funny to begin with.
Although looking at it again, I just got a cinderella reference.

@tasking that looks like her other shoe from the CD and DVD version

As for the subject of PVs, I really don't see a problem with there only being a handful. *shrug* It's possible that with the brief time allowed to her she was only able to do a few PVs before she had to come back to Japan and finalise or do... whatever, and have all her personal life situations settled to boot. I also don't really care for her recent PVs so much.. I feel like the only ones that really grabbed me were from Love songs. To be perfectly hones, I haven't cared for her PVs much since NEXT LEVEL.

Ah, oh well.

It would be fine with these four PVs but we know she filmed two more PVs at least so... it's a bit odd that they're not on this release at the moment.

That reflection is a pile of shoes used for the shoot, it looks like.

I'm not sure about the ones on the left, but the dark ones on the right are clearly the shoes from the CD+DVD cover (and if you look in the background of the CD+DVD cover, you can see one of the shoes she's wearing on the CD+2DVD cover lol)

I think she sees some guy that's tied up?

The nude soles of the shoes look a bit like flesh though.

is anyone else not sure where ayu's arm is?
I don't know if the one in the lower bottom more away from the camera is the mirror or her actual hand, and In the mirror you see that her hand is grabbing something up, but I don't see that in her

It's because that is being blocked by the table leg or whatever it is.

^ It does look like it's behind the table leg, because it is definitely going up in the background!
