I lol'd at the wallpaper but am excited for the new song. I hope it remains exclusive to this campaign. I wouldn't want to see it on A BEST 3 as its promotional track.

Sometimes its not about winning the items for yourself. I haven't bought all the cds (only two) and I'm not a member of TA, but I think these prizes are awesome. I feel happy for the ones who are so lucky and get a hand written lyric by Ayu, get to be a part of her song, get autographs, tickets or a personalized item.
They're perfect gifts for HUGE fans. Which people usually are if they buy all releases.

I don't know, if I had bought all releases and won the personalized lyrics or whatever, I would be mad. I am the kind of fan that doesn't find anything interesting in a pice of paper just cause it was written by my artist. And the wallpaper! LOL!!!

commemorative song... hmm hopefully it is as good as Mirrorcle World

Wait...do you need to be a member of TA to enter your serial numbers somewhere...?

If you have overseas serial numbers, can you still participate in the regular and TA lotteries??

If three of my Ayu CD's was HK version and two are Japanese version, then will I still be able to enter the code and get the gift?

Nope, it says that some prizes are TeamAyu Members only so you must be able to enter the codes regardless if you're a member or not

^^Sorry, but you need to get the five releases from Japan, or the five releases from HK, you can't mix them

^Thank you :)
Guess I have to order LOVE again & HLs in HK version. (this is my first Ayu Arena Tour in Hk version, lol) I can't afford getting all the Japanese version... too expensive.

This "benefit" reminds me of WMF pans that you get at local supermarkets for collecting funny stickers with each purchase you have done xD

Precisely. Plus the commemorative song can easily be ripped from somewhere or will probably show up in one of her future releases. I thought it would be something tangible like a special edition mug, since they kept emphasizing it would be a GIFT.

By the way, would it be possible for a TA member to win 2 prizes? 1 from the entry items 1-3 cat and another from the 4-5 cat. Or will they exclude TA members who won prizes in the 1-3 draw entries from the TA only draw? Just curious haha..

It would be very complicated to use something physical as there was no accurate way to foresee how much gifts they would need to produce.... Too much and it either isn't event exclusive anymore or lost money, too little and they would end up not being able to deliver all of them on a good time, as more would need to be produced.

I'm praying for A BEST 3 - just for the simple fact that if the only thing she's doing for the actual 15th anniversary is the new song that not everybody can listen to, it's gonna be World War 3 up in here lol

^^ don't worry. sooner or later, someone will share the song to all of AHS~

Since everyone keep complaining that the bonus items are lousy, I will not be sharing them and I hope people who are able to get them will not too. That will make it exclusive to those who bought all the 5 releases. And make those people who find the bonus items cheapskate appreciate the 5 release more?

This.

I'm not going to be sharing anything either, I just don't think it's fair for us who decided to buy all the 5 releases.

Tbqh whoever buys all of them and then shares the song for free must be really stupid, why would you spend all that money in the first place?

We are not talking about who's a better fan and who's a bad fan, it's just like Teamayu's messages, we are paying for a service and it isn't fair if others get the same for free.

Sorry but that's my opinion.

I don't think anyone's gonna be too pressed about not getting access to a wallpaper or two anyway though... :shrug

it's not as simple as that... there's a lot of poor fans around the world who cant even afford a single cd, and now only because he doesn't got enough money that means he can't listen to a song that is only available for rich kids who could buy all the 5 items?
i dont know where you live but here in brazil it's really expensive to buy imported CDs from Japan, we have to pay a lot of taxes and duties, and most of ayumi fans doesnt buy her albums because they have to pay for school and food instead.

if i have the opportunity to leak the song i will, the system must know that culture shouldn't cost this price.

I agree with Surreal Rainbow on that subject. Piracy and downloads are illegal and yet everyone keeps making excuses for doing it. When I cannot afford a CD, I don't listen to it. TeamAyu is the same way, if you are not paying for membership you shouldn't be getting her Diary or Scans of TA Magazines. Ayu and Avex don't need more money, but if they are spending money and time producing goods you shouldn't get those goods for free. You don't go to an expensive restaurant and expect a free meal because you're poor, you shouldn't expect it for luxury items either.
