imagine if they compiled every single performance of a single song ever done, and put that on dvd? hahahaha xD or perhaps limit it to, say, music station? haha XD *insane*

Lol Lord have mercy. That compilation would be so expensive. I love Ayu, but I love being able to eat and pay rent more :dead2

thankies for the info~!!
i wanna buy ittttt~~!!!! >_______<

I REALLY want to buy the CD+DVD...all that extra never before seen concert footage will be so worth it. Plus the 10th Anniversary version of Who... and more unreleased single covers! Let's hope I can afford it~

TA LIMITED live was actually "seen" before ^^ There were rips from Yahoo! and there was even a HQ rip from somewhere, it's just that it was never released on a DVD.

But the a-nation ones were never seen! I want to see them so bad... I'm glad I pre-ordered it ^_^.

Almost every Tour has a TV versions also (and eventually DVD rips) but DVDs are always worth buying!

is there any promotion for A COMPLETE ALL SINGLES?

We will know as soon as ayu's schedule on her official site will be updated :D
Usually happens 2-3 weeks before hand.

^ ohh.. i thought there were no promotion for that.. Ugh i hope Avex do huge promotion like A BEST

In-store promotion kicked off in Japan almost like instantly when A COMPLETE ~ALL SINGLES~ was announced.

hai! thats why I pre-orderd it as well XD I want to see ASFXX and forgiveness badly :D and I can't wait to get it, but 21st Septmeber (YA said I should get it by then) is a long wait.

The only TA performance i've seen is Real me on youtube. I'd be glad to get it in DVD quality and hopefully, the performances will have cohesion and not a 'cut and paste' mess. Really looking forward to this release. Like i said, 7 weeks advanced notice is just too cruel.

I will get mine too if its affordable to me!

I hope so guys!! first press is still available and also get into the present campaign :cool

7 weeks is pure agony, not just for me, but I'm pretty sure all of us...

I don't know.... 3 CDs of songs I already own. I just made an A COMPLETE ~ALL SINGLES~ playlist in iTunes. All I'm missing are the videos which I can easily download from here... I don't know if it's really worth it or not. Hmm... :/

Ummm we all can own all of the songs exist on earth on iTunes and the DVD rips =P

I mean I've bought the albums these songs are on already, I'd be buying them twice if I got this so I just don't know...

The best TA perf. was the YOU one, I loved it cuz everyone sang along, though RAINBOW and Dolls were as nice.

Edgefusion, I think if you had immediately went "no i'm not buying this" then there'd be no regrets. Now that you're undecided, I feel you will have less regrets spending your money on it than not buying it. The pivotal moment is getting into the store and picking it up. After that, you'll feel nothing about the money given up (i hope).

Hello, this is my first time posting on the forum i just joined

but oh mein gotte! I want this so bad it looks so cool! but i don't think i can get it, can someone tell me if there is anyway to get it somehow in the United States and how much it will cost?

If you can't buy it online you can get it at Kinokuniya or another Japanese book store. It will probably be over $50.

You could go to the CDJapan or yesasia websites. They have currency conversion and shipping cost caculated right out for you on the spot.

i want to see "until that day" perfomance so badly and RIGHT NOW!!!! OMG!!!!!

It's probably the same as AT07's performance =/... Or maybe it's more like CDL06-07, which was a condensed version of AT07's with no catwalk used.

AT07 was a LOT more showy! From the 2nd chorus onwards it was all different. CDL06-07 the dancers just sort of bobbed around the stage which is perfectly fine for a after countdown performance. I was really yearning for A Complete Best but currently drowning in the olympics. My ayu love will come back when olympics end =p

^I'm only assuming, I've never seen a-nation. Is there a catwalk or whatever you call that thing jutting out from the stage?

^Sorry i read your previous post wrongly =p You're right CDL06-07 is a very simple version of AT07's performance of until that day. I wouldn't mind if a-nation's performance was something like that.

Wow even though I've browsed thru A COMPLETE threads I never actually took the time to read the tracklist thoroughly and i might say holy crap the 3CD+DVD box set sounds awesome. Guess its time to start saving up

She should include Trauma, too late, HANABI, July 1st, Greatful days and HANABI ~episode II~

cd japan has a campaign!

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/rcms/jpop/ayu_campaign.html

^ I think the cdjapan campaign has already been posted =S

Maybe they should have just done a Team Ayu poll and put in the top 40 songs. There are a lot of things they could have done alternatively but this is probably the most hassle and cost free way to determine what to release; first a-side original version from each single.

I heard a rumour about a U.S. version of the singles collection, but I'm feeling kind of doubtful that it's true.


Anyone else heard about that?

Haha, yeah, that was posted [check the rumours thread in the Ayumi Chat Room], but it had no source, so it can be classified as false information.

it had been posted..
thanks anyway.

I hope I'm one of 250 lucky persons

Do you know if the 3CD version will come with the photobook as well?
Will they release a Hong Kong version?

Woho yesasia too!! (even if the chanses are minimal). Thx for the info. ^^

Does that mean that whoever order that before August 31st will get a gift? It's not limited like in CDJapan!? X_X

I think it means that they'll be entered in the lottery.

Yesasia is not doing it in lottery form.

They are basically saying: YOU GET A FREE GIFT. JUST ORDER BEFORE 8/31 AND YOU WILL GET SOMETHING.

Oh! If thats the case, then Im veeery happy I ordered from YA. ^^

Sort of doesn't make any sense and is sort of illogical, but, whatever. It's all good I guess =D

Obviously they're desperate.. otherwise they'd do it like a lottery like they're supposed to.

I wonder what'll happen if too many people preorder and they don't have any gifts left.

Me too, it doesn't make sense that CDJapan (which is located in Japan) will have less gifts than yesasia which is in Hong Kong.
avex chooses how much to give to which place/site don't they?
I mean the places/sites don't order themselves a certain amount of gifts since the whole thing is limited... or do they?

I think avex sends them a box of gifts depending on how many shipments they purchase.

Like every few boxes full of A COMPLETEs that they have ordered to sell = a box of gifts to give away..

I dunno, in Japan this usually works since just about everyone who orders the day of [and even the day after] release gets something, but online? I dunno.

That sucks ass, this is my first order at CDJapan (after always using yesasia) and that's what happens -_-.
Oh well I won't cancel and change to yesasia since with express it will be like 10 dollars more (my country doesn't get free shipping unless if the order is above 100$).
I will just hope a bit for the small chance of getting a gift on CDJapan.
Anyway I ordered it like 8-9 hours after they put it up for order so I still might have a small chance =P

AHhhh. I am so getting it.
Birthday present is it!
So then I won't have to pay for it. ^_^

I found A COMPLETE CM on JPM

CM
sometimes the visual arent showing

Ooooh thx alot! I want my copy now now now! ^^

But, come to think about it. The CM only promote the DVD. Not the CD only.

I don't think it's a CM already isn't it a digest from TeamAyu site? This video is on the download thread since yesterday http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=78468

If you can't see the visual on the wideo site (I can't see it myself :(), here's another link A Complete Digest :)

oucchh.. I didnt realize it was same with that on download section.. thanks for heading

I think I'll pre-order 3cd version too...

I think yesasia will give something like a mini toy. It's really cute and better than a sticker in my opinion. I got a dog holding a cup of green tea with a plate of yakitori for my CDL07-08 and AT07 orders.

*Shakes Fist at Yesasia
I trust CDJapan more though now after Yesasia messed up some orders in the past.


Anyway, Whats the deal with this [think its] new, funky A logo in that video

http://www.isarapix.org/pix7/1218899740.png

^ LOL I was just about to make a topic for that XD I love that logo! I saw the digest and I didn't even pay attention to the concert, I just thought "WOW that logo looks awesome".

:( I want that logo to be somewhere on the A Complete box! Like, on the back of the CD-jackets maybe? Or really big on the CD? aaah I can't wait to receive A Complete!

^she hasn't done a new logo in a while, that one is really cool

What about the 10th anni one then? O.o

I'm not sure I like it =S
Looks really messy.

I have a silly theory. We know the A stands for Ayumi Hamasaki - Well its an F, So we could take it as 'Ayumi Hamasaki Forever' thusly putting bed to rumors of her leaving the industry

The rumors that she is leaving (if there were even any) can't be true since just this month she recorded 2 new songs for a future single (which will start most likely a 3-4 new albums and then compilation era). =P

Yeah, the kakoii song... I can't wait for it... ugh!

By the way, does anyone know any updates on A COMPLETE being released in the US?

She said she records a new song a day after she got to Japan.
Then a week afterwards she said she's going to LA to record the "kakkoii song" which means 2 XDD.

It looks like wings to me lol. (the new logo)

@^: Actually, someone from the forum removed it and posted that int he rumor topic (that he had removed it)

I see... so it's a fake information, as expected.

Anyway, she recorded another new song? So the new single would most likely be double A side single? I hope so...

I removed the information and it is 100% false infomation
