^me too, but I'll but CD only or CD+DVD with TA ^^

someone knwos how many copies were available at CDJ?

I hope they will sould out it in YA too!! 25K counted towards oricon would be great!! *-* jajaja

(YA/CDJ... sales are counted the first day or the last one? anyone knows??)

Preorders are all lumped into the first day IIRC.

They probably only allowed each retailer to sell about 1,000~ of the boxes...

They save at least half or more for physical stores.

magic show Magic Show MAGIC SHOW!!!
Kumi Kodas Album TRICK had the theme of a Magic Show....god damit for the 10037836 time!

this is more worthed to buy rather than CDj

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Why no Blu-ray for AT09??? T_________T *cry*

And sold out at CDJapan. FU I'm going with YesAsia if it's gonna be like that D:

*grumpy morning* #&$%^$#!@^&

XD

EW the box set costs 11,000 yen.. SO PRICEY. DDD:

http://www.amazon.co.jp/RocknRoll-Ci...793237&sr=8-10

2000 yen off the original price here, yo.

YA > CDJAPAN = HMV > Amazon

haha.. and all of them cheaper by approx. USD8

Already sold out ;_;
No Iwanted to order it now ;_;
Please let them restock this edition .....

omg im so getting both but probably not the box set...too expensive ><

Just woke up to the news.....

Finally, it's not a rumor anymore. I can't wait!

I want to deny it so badly. It's just sooooo....cheesy. I can't get over the fact that when we refer to it here, we'll have to say RnRC or RRC. That seems really trivial but I've yet to realize any class in a title like that.

YesAsia still has some.

I don't know where you live but, even though the special box is more expensive for me with the free shipping it comes down cheaper than CDJapan :yes

now we know the date but it's still long for april...

wonder why it's only 10 tracks..

anyway can't wait for it!!! :)

oh okay thanks ;-)
I live in Germany.
I only am very bad at waiting for the album.
I use EMS all the time so I get the album the day it is out :D

someone posted it sth about 25K??

How about Play-asia. hopefully they have some.

I just checked it and no update yet

25k is how many they are making, but they are not selling 25k total across the online stores. The online stores are only getting a small amount of that 25,000.

YesAsia gets x amount, CDJapan get x amount, HMV gets x amount, Amazon.jp gets x amount... etc. I think more copies go for sale in physical stores though for limited press goods. There are a lot of retailers that handle online sales though, so each can sell a certain amount...

See: ELT's 10,000 limited single... their first week was 6.8k but they sold out at all online stores. -shrugs- Online stores only make up a small fraction of stores receiving the limited pressings.

since I don't understand japanese, someone needs to explain to me, cause i don't have the time to scroll through pages of stuff. I only see 6 tracks listed for the cd, are there still some not listed yet? I noticed sexy little things isn't there so they probably haven't released all the information yet?

I wonder why CDJapan ALWAYS sells out before any other online stores. Do they get less copies or is it just that more people buy from them? I remember Mirrorcle World sold out REALLY fast too when it was announced, even though they added more copies later on...

They have listed the singles and the songs that have been revealed via CM tie ins.

There are to be 10 new tracks, but that can change in the next update. (10 new tracks + 4 singles = 14 tracks! But remember, this number can change.)

The DVD is to have 16 video clips from the album and one huge digest of AT09.

the tracklist isn't confirm yet.we'll need to wait till avex announces the confirmed tracklist

Ummm. I have a question...

I ordered and checked out a limited box set earlier but I choose IPMO which takes about 2 weeks to confirm the payment did they reserve a copy for me? Since I did checked out?

i don't think they will reserve for you.but cdjapan is out od stock already

LOL so there's no use now even if I send them the IPMO? >.>

BanaCherry finished their check out, so it counts as one copy. They will save one if there aren't any in the future.

It's 99.9% likely that they will restock. Don't worry.

haha, it -is- named Rock'n'Roll Circus!
God I hope it has more than 14 tracks. I'm tired of her 14-tracks-including-9-or-so-interludes album >.<
the box set pairing sounds great! sounds expensive, too..

oh well. this is still great news!

^ Thank God! I might get my copy afterall.

Hopefully I can get the money this week!

Oh I don't hope this is the complete tracklist. Wait.. it can't be, Sexy Little Things is missing. So.. can't wait to see the full tracklist :P

And it's so long time for waiting >.< Can't wait for it!

That's good. Cause I really want to buy a limited version. Kind of like with the usb where they ran out, and did an "encore reprinting" or a second batch of them something like that.

I bought cover A, cover B, limited box and separately, the Arena Tour 2009.

Who said I'm crazy ? :p

Total : 300€ with shipping charges :D

Your name is "Insanes" after all...

yeah I can't believe I just spent $200 on two versions.

But at least we have a while to set the money aside. :yes

I think it's not crazy.. I'll do the same if only I can. You're so lucky :yes

If I had enough money to buy the CD only version I'd be lucky. >>

And BTW. Awful tittle..

Insanes, wow you buy all the versions? even the AT09 DVD already included in the Box Set? WOW! Salute you!

This.

I also purchased Jacket A, Jacket B, Limited Box and DVD AT09.

I guess that makes me crazy too? XD

She'll explain this one... I think it's nice if you think of it in her shoes.

"You know how circuses always.... etc etc... well I wanted to combine the feeling of a rock and roll concert.... etc etc...." haha.

sorry I'm a little blur
"★First press includes a full colour photobook shot in London."
So does that refer to the first press cd+dvd or to the box set special? what about cd only?

Any idea if os will have it?

CD+DVD and CD+DVD in the box set have the photobook.

The CD only has a yet to be announced first press good.

oic. kk thanks.

Heck i'll make a photobook shot with Ayu and us fans :D for free! >.>

I'm sure many people took enough photos when Ayu was in London (including me) xD~

P.S Full colour!! lol

oh.i wonder if the photobook includes the photos she took with the fans during the london visit or not

I've pre-ordered the box set and the CD only versions.
To me, when you buy these 2, you get the CD+DVD and AT DVD so it's kinda pointless to buy separately... Maybe you could save money guys, thats' my point.

That depends on if ND was there to take photos...

If not, they will be in the TeamAyu magazine.

The OS ver. of GUILTY had the Photo Book available, so it most likely will.

Maybe a few? I remember seeing Ayu taking a photo of us waiting outside the hotel before she came out lol. (Theres a video where she took a photo before walking down the stairs) xD.

Usually when we took group photos with Ayu, like 3-4 Japanese people would take some too. Well im guessing those were Ayu's staffs, with their own cam ofcourse.

then i guess i'll wait... since every player including laptop's in my house's region 3

ya...they(AVEX TAIWAN) most probably will have the photobook also,since they had the photobook for GUILTY,(miss)understood and even A Complete

Exactly what I thought XD
I only ordered the Box (and maybe will order CD only through TA) and save some money for Tour Goods.

Wah can't believe the pre-order is sold out at CDJ already... I knew this would happen if I went to sleep... XD

I know... I just saw the mail, went to CDJ and my then heart broke :thud

I don't trust YesAsia because I had some problems with them... so I'm pretty much effed up :(

my laptop is region 1, but i use VLC Media Player...it ignores the DVD region and plays anything! :yatta

i feel your pain. i would much rather order from cdjapan, but i had to use yesasia this time. plus, cdjapan always gets product to me much faster.

oh well...i'll do anything to make sure i get the limited edition!!! :mischief

They will most definitely restock. CDJapan usually never completely runs out of Ayu stuff. They restocked with the USB and with Mirrorcle World.... don't worry!

I woke up and freaked out, still half asleep and ordered all three versions.
my question is...since I got the limited boxset, is there any incentive to buy the cd+dvd version? Is there really no difference in these versions?

same here... I swear the CD+DVD and AT09 DVD will be the same as separetly, same package, same covers, just that are inside the box. A with the limited box of Yw/B, the singles were the same...

That's what it's looking like, but the YesAsia description seems to suggest otherwise...

I'm not sure how to feel about this, haha.

they restocked but with the encore version, right? the first limited edition USB never restocked did it?

similar here...i woke up, in a sleepy haze i bought the box set and the CD+DVD set and now i'm thinking i probably should have just bought the box only, but i was in a sleepy panic!

Ok so now im actually confused lol. I have already ordered from YesAsia the Jacket A CD + DVD

I read the details about what Jacket A includes but what i don’t get is this part (it's in bold)



When i used google translated it, it mentioned:
First Award: book with gorgeous full-color photo all-London location

Maybe someone can translate the bold bit better? I'm a little lost lol. So does that mean the book DOES come with it? o.O. If someone already mentioned this, just hit me and I’ll delete this post lol.

First press for CD+DVD version is a 36 page photobook...

And I figure CD Japan will restock the Limited Edition but I reaaalllyyy wanted to pre-order it right away!! I'm fine with yesasia though it costs about the same!

I wonder if there will be a lucky draw?

ya.it includes the photobook(32 pages)
its the first press item for the limited edition box and also the cd+dvd version

First press CD+DVD has the photobook. So does the first press in the limited box.

OH MY GOD.

http://i47.tinypic.com/ion0i0.jpg

Should we expect the Rock'n'Roll Circus design to have similarities with the tour logo this time? I don't think so since NEXT LEVEL's text / AT09's text were rather different... I don't really want Olde English/Gothic on my Ayu album, haha.

ya.i suspect she'll use the same font with her tour logo

i hope so! i love that logo, other than the font. but i could handle the font as long as it wasn't too tiny (but i think we already discussed this, lol).

i'm really looking forward to the album covers. if you combine the idea behind the name, with that A logo, i just can't imagine how great the cover could be!

but the font for the next level album and tour were different, right? so i doubt they'll be the same this year, font wise.

I want the special box set. But don't think OS version will have that so I gotta buy separately. aww.... EXCITED

i can't wait to drink my ayumi tea out of my ayumi mug!!! haha. :yatta

HOLY JESUS I GOT UP JUST IN TIME TO SNATCH A BOX AT YA!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY FI.NA.LY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I pre-order the limited box in Amazon Japan^_^

Thats Awesome! :luv2:luv2:luv2:luv2:love:love:love

That's another thing... I pay almost the same on CDJ and YA, but the shipping with CDJ is heavenly :love I get my stuff in almost 1 week and have a tracking number. With YA it takes about one month and instead of a tracking number, I have to pray so it won't get lost.
My Concert Tour 2000 DVDs never arrived. YA replaced them, but I had to pay the express shipping that was almost like buying the DVDs once again.

I hope CDJ comes with new pre-orders :love

im soo glad to hear that sweety!! :D


:yes:yes:yes



cant wait to see the tracklist as well as covers, pvs, etc *o* soo excited about this album!!

gonna be such a great month xD




EDIT: now that i think about it, maybe avex is using this box thing again because it helped yw.../ballad sales :) and also, this time is surely gonna boost those sales for AT09 DVD!!

agreed. i left yesasia finally because with every new release i saw all the people on here saying that their order was already in the shipping process where mine on yesasia always sits for AT LEAST another day if not longer to start the shipping process.

ugh, i'll be so frustrated when april 14th rolls around and i'm waiting on my order. :(

ALSO, if i don't request shipping in a box from yesasia, my things would often come crushed and damaged.

Well, I hope u have better luck this time :)

good luck with CDJ restocking! :D

I am SO excited. SO excited!!!!!

I know there will be more tracks, there HAS to be. I was secretly hoping AT09 would be included as a special edition but I didn't think it was possible but they made it possible I am soooooooooo happy.... *on cloud nine*

Ayu / avex was reading your mind....

well, definitely. they only revealed the songs we already have and the CM tie in songs.

i wish they would release an audio cd from AT09 like they did last year with the next level album and the countdown.

Someone will probably rip the DVD audio but OH MY GOD yes!! I love the audio for AT09! The Days~evolution portion especially. LOVE that instrumental dance break.

Mug cup should look something like this, but maybe... less cute and more boring and less round, haha.

i know, but having it on cd is just so...cool! haha.

i really hope the mug is well done and not just something cheap, like the album cover just plastered on there. ugh.

It'll probably be a logo of some sort.

Worst case scenario is a boring A logo on the side of the cup...

I wonder just how much tea we'll be getting. I should get some lemon juice... haha.

36 packs right?

and i think so too, i'm sure it will be the album logo. which is fine with me!

What do you guys think about the odds that CDJapan will re-stock?

I definitely want this boxset!! OMG it's like the perfect release O__O but I prefer CDJapan over YesAsia.. but I can't wait too long otherwise they'll both sell out :tired What do you guys think?
Or.. maybe it's possible to cancel order on YesAsia before it ships? Is that true?

@Touchedstar: No I'm pretty sure 36p is for the photobook, 36 pages :) I think we'll just get a little box, with about a dozen bags.

i wouldn't risk it if i were you. i purchased from yesasia.

and yes, 36 packs of tea!

Give them some time, I am sure they will :) They still have a few NL USBs available~

I did that once with Guilty. I canceled my pre-order two weeks before the official release and it took 10 days to return the money to my PP acount.

how much have you paid for it? YA ships the CD's to me and I get them in 14 days. I've never had anythign broken, and this last x'mas my 2010 calendar got lost, I said them and they shipped me another one without asking me more money...

The cheapest shipping for me costs 105€, and it says 1-3 weeks an there's no tracking... in YA it cost me 108€ only 3€ more... ^^


that's the pages for the photobook

for the box set, is it for sure that there will be 4 dvds? one for pv, one for digest of the tour, and 2 of the tour???

03 gorgeous full-color photo book (36P tentative)

No, the CD+DVD for the album has the digest already with the PVs

The tour has 3 DVDs on its own.

^
^
^no, 1 for PV (after 8PV and 8 making, tehre on AT 2009 digest) 2 tour (1 main par and 1 encore) and 1 of extras (MC and other...)

EDIT: oh well TH said it too xD

No °_°
36 pages of photobook XDDD

hahaha, ooooops. forget what i said about the tea then!!! :headache:headache:headache
sorry guys, i have no idea why i assumed that was referring to packs of tea, hahaha.

anyway, i predict the mug will look like this:

http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/d...z-06516_zo.jpg

but i would LOVE if there was a rock'n'roll circus ayupan on it!!!

I pre-ordered the CD+DVD version from CD Japan already; I like first press hehe. I can't afford the Limited Edition Box set, which is a shame because it sounds really cool.

It's strange that it's being sold a little after the tour starts; maybe it'll be sold at the start of the tour though since loads of artists tend to do that sometimes.

Maybe the mug could have like, lyrics written by Ayu on it, haha.

I made another thread since this one is nearing its end, hope to see you there when this one fills out!

I want the mug *-*;.... I'm going to get the mug....

Y'all please excuse me, I'm so starstruck... BABY CAN YOU BLOW MY HEART UP!

maybe after the success of her mug, ayumi will release a whole line of kitchen ware!!! :yatta

seriously, i'm just hoping it has an ayupan on it. Love me some ayupans!!!

Yes, 4 DVDs, but it'll be:
1. PVs + Tour Digest
2. AT2009 Tour
3. AT2009 Tour Encore
4. AT2009 Tour MC sessions

I think many people are confused about the word "first press". It just means the initial batch of CDs that is made in the CD-making factory or something. Being "first press" doesn't equal "comes with bonus goodies". It's just that, to earn more $$, most artists and companies include those bonus gifts to encourage people to buy the album/single early (aka the first press), to boost sales and rankings when the album/single first comes out. It's all pure marketing technique in the entertainment world.

Therefore, the CD+DVD first press this time comes with that London photobook. The CD only first press doesn't officially have bonus goods. The lottery thing on YA or CDJ probably applies to all versions, and is a separate campaign by itself. It has nothing to do with whether the album is first press or not.

Hope this clears things up abit. ^^
