Wow loads of people just got the courage to do this! ...I still can't though hehehe

Good luck guys!!

Omg I was planning on doing the exact same thing haha!

I was considering making this the first Ayu album I buy and if I decide to, I don't want to know anything about it except covers until I get it in my hands.

No tracklist, no PVs, no previews. I want it all to be a surprise.

Those damn chaku-uta previews ruined NEXT LEVEL for me :(.

hmmm I do this anyways... I don't listen to the album or watch the PVs until I get my album... but the covers... that might kill me... but maybe I'll try!

You guys have to add not watching any live performances, reading about her new album from her interviews hahaha..
I tihnk this would be reallly fun AND fnny if you set your heart to it. And reading how u gus did it makes me want to do it too...
all.night.raver, u are amazing! hahaha

i will see the cover, officially know the tracklist and that's probably the end of AHS till then LOL..I mean, we've already gotten some sneakpeaks of ViVi..so..my as well
im hoping that with CDJapan, the usually ship out earlier than before..so I should get my CD near the 14th itself..

I had this same incident, My excitement for the release and having the copy of NL was totally spoiled. :(

That's why I'll avoiding any kinds of previews whenever its available.

oh yes~

same with me~

hate the chaku-uta... :(

why did japanese people do this before the album release~~~??

No. Thanks. :P lol

I do my own form of waiting by not touching the leak. I will not listen to the album until I have my copy in my hands. Everything else is fair game, though.

Mission: failed. :P

oh i can't do it!!!

Man, speaking of waiting, I had a dream that would probably make a lot of you feel glad that it was only a dream. :laugh

I had a dream that the release date of the album was announced, and it was still April 14th (even though in my dream it said 3/14, it was still really 4/14; I don't know, you know how dreams are lol). But! The announcement of the release date was made on April 13th, the day before the album release! And it was done this way on purpose so that no one could post any "previews" and leak the full tracks. Ah, it was all done so that avex could make more money. :P Pretty clever, I'd actually say! But oh, fans would be so on the edge of their seats that they'd probably be on the floor! x)

i was actually expecting that too ^^ it would soooooo cool i think, to tell yourself, "what?! it'll be realesed on tomorrow ?! WTF?? O__o"

EDIT: for me, there're 34 days left =D

I'll declare my hiatus and 'abstinence' once the tracklists and covers are out. hehe. then I'll go to my gaming

Haha no, I'm fully stressed out when I didn't open AHS during exams x_x

I'm always curious about the tracklist and the covers, so I want to see them as soon as they are out!

BUT I'll not download the songs or the PVs. I never do this! I know, that Ayu will not disappoint me (she never did before and I'm sure she will not do it in the future!).
I've already pre-ordered the CD+DVD and the "Arena Tour", so I don't have to wait too long after they are released.
It's true, that I'm VERY curious, but I can wait, because my biggest joy is to hold a new Ayu release in my own hands and discover it like this and not through the internet! ^.^

i agree- and I'll do it too!

but i'll do it a bit differently

i'm letting myself see the tracklist, listen to Microphone and Don't look back
and watch the Microphone pv

but then that's it!! these things will be my album promo, can't waiiiiiit

i feel like don't want to come to AHS but everytime when i online,i couldn't stop myself from typing ahsforum.com/forum on the address bar XD
i'll try to stop myself from downloading the album but i don't know if i can wait till my copy to arrive or not because it will reach my hand 1 week after the release date o.O

wo.. I didn't tink about the TV lives O____O

what to do... hmm.. it' snot the same as listening the song... but... no... T_____T I won't see TV lives until I get my CD... OMG this is gonna be hard T_____T

I have to find another thing to do until then to not see anything... (well, covers and tracklist and official CM yes)

And I also hate chaku-uta ¬¬ almost the full osng is there only the instrumental parts are left... and you have the full song in parts and it ruins the feeling when lsitening the full song for the first time... not gonna listen to them again >.<

the CD+DVD case is put inside teh box, so you'll get the cover of whatever they put on the box, and teh CD+DVD cover
