Maybe someone should send an e-mail to CDJapan asking if the boxset have both posters? XD
They added a first press sold out button but not external bonus but the posters might be the first press of it...
So yeah someone should ask. =P

I'll never, ever believe that because Ayu is not that naive and she is very smart. Only someone truly stupid could think that info would not spread. She announced she was deaf and then later that she had broken up with her super famous boyfriend. There is no way that she couldn't have known that would be major news.

I also don't think that Ayu personally cares about TA info leaking, especially after meeting the foreign fans in London. After all, her blog/pictures etc are actually promotion for her upcoming things, so why would her or Avex really care if the info leaks? It's free promo that has a chance to get people who don't have TA access to buy the album/dvd/single etc. They actually probably hope that it leaks because I think the primary reason people join the fanclub anyways is the preferential treatment for the concert tickets, not necessarily the blogs - those are just a bonus. Imagine if the concert tickets were not part of the perks for joining - I think the fanclub would have a lot less members.

It would be one thing if foreign fans could actually join TA - then if info STILL leaked to non-members I could understand being upset about it. But the fact is they can not. Many many people want to join but are not allowed to and they shouldn't be punished for that. Any TA member that complains about leaked info I believe does not realize at all that it is a lot more difficult to be a foreign fan (especially financially) than it is to be a Japanese one. Now that I live in Japan, I can and will join TA. But I spent several years paying outrages import rates and ticket prices because I couldn't join.

There has to be some logistical reasons behind why not because no major artist in Japan that I'm aware of have made their fanclubs available overseas. I think there are a few that have fanclubs open in Taiwan and Korea, but beyond that I don't think so.

And I think all fan clubs are done for profit. There's really no reason that any artist couldn't have a free fanclub or maybe a fanclub that only charges a sign up fee for materials, but no annual fee. Record companies just wouldn't do it period if it wasn't a source of revenue for them.

Yeah, it's like saying she isn't aware of illegal downloading ^^ I don't see what's wrong with the actual info leaking, it's not like someone is making copies of TA magazine and giving them for free ^^

I have asked cdjapan about FP to Limited Box Set
now we need to wait for answer

So the first press for the CD only will be...a poster? I sure it would be the CD+DVD cover, or heck, an entirely different pose altogether. That's it, I'm going to order the CD only then, just for the sake of the poster.

I wonder if the OS press of AT09 would have a poster as well. Is this the first time one of her concert DVDs ever had a poster as a first press?

If the Limited Box has a first press, it better be external <_< I won't be happy at all if it isn't seeing as I've already paid 12400 yen.

I can´t think of any other Tour that had one.
I remember YA had a CDL 04-05 Poster, but it was the normal Promo Poster with text and they had it seperate on their website.
I wonder if it will have a Album Cover or the DVD Cover as it say "Type B"



normally CDJ is still writing down the 1st press bonus, even if it´s sold out so it was most likley an external bonus.

Thos epeople in her who say things like "be glad TA share information with you blaa blaa blaa" should really shut up

what do you think?! that we want them to share to make them able to say ****** stuff like "oh we shared but we weren´t alloweed to blaaa"
I would so join that damn thing but I don´t get the opportunity for it, so I think this both ayu and avex own fault
if she feels bad about it, she should make it possible for all the fans to read that damn thing

I mean serious...what is so personal about her blogs
its just a few insight stuff...she rarly writes really really deep thing right from her heart...and if she does it is some sort of metaphor


actually - we do that XD we get them scanned..it is the same
but again, i say I would have my own if I could...but I´m not willing to pay millions for it through a middleman

We rip the songs and upload them too ^^ I am buying the cds yet I am not complaining cuz others are downloading the songs :yes

I am just hoping none of the TA members who are kind enough to provide us with the pics and the translations will have issues with other TA members.

yeah I know
I don´t blame TA members in general, only the onew who act likes those strange people from ayuchina
what exactly goves you the right to hold back information which will be shared eventually...and if you do..why do you have to tell everyone?

and I don´t think so, since this is the internet and most members use a different name on different boards
and even if...why shoudl they care...they pay for it like the other and can do with the infos what they want. Ther can´be no rule to forbid one to share what they know. That is not even possible.

Thank you!! I hope they will answer to you soon ^^ please share with us the answer!
It will be so cool if the boxset has both posters. XDD

If I remember correctly, the last times, when First Press came with posters through CDJapan, YesAsia also had posters with the First Press... right? Usually they are about the same when it comes to First Press and bonuses.

This is my first time ordering a new release through YesAsia. I always bought from CDJ, so I just hope I don't get cut off because they ran out of the box first and I ended up having to order with YA >____<''

As far as retailers go, most of the ones that people use here (CDJapan and YesAsia along with HMV) include posters if they are available, but HMV folds their posters, haha.

Amazon.co.jp is the only one that excludes them entirely, I think.

From mu-mo:
CD+DVD and CD only album - B2ポスター【デザインA】（1枚） (B2 poster, design A, 1 poster)
DVD - B2ポスター【デザインB】（1枚） (B2 poster, design B, 1 poster)
CD+DVD+3DVD+tea - ・B2ポスター【デザインA】（1枚）
・B2ポスター【デザインB】（1枚） (both posters)

Looks like anyone getting the limited box gets two posters.

http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...eeen/fp-03.jpg

it seems everyone who bought CD+DVD version from HMV will get one of the lottery prize

When I buy jrock magazines and the awesome posters are folded I just about want to cry! Thank goodness CDJapan neatly rolls the first press posters.

I've never heard of amazon ever including the first press posters.

YesAsia has a tendency to jack up prices when a poster as a 1st press item's included in the mix ~_~

Isn't that just the poster that everyone will get as a bonus? It does say "A-type"... so it should be everyone who got the CD+DVD, CD only, and concert DVD... (though that one will be B-type...)

Wow it's for the first time in ages that I absolutely want a poster!! I hope YA will give me the CD+DVD one with the box (if they can give me the box at all... haha).

http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...eeen/fp-04.jpg

Ah! I see it now.

ANYONE WHO WANTS TO GUARANTEE THEMSELVES A LUCKY DRAW PRIZE SHOULD BUY A CD+DVD COPY FROM HMV.CO.JP

Well, the prices at YA are usually a little higher than CDJ, but with shipping being SO expensive for me at CDJ, it comes down to the same price with YA.

Though, YA didn't announce there would be poster when the CDs were put for sale 1-2 weeks ago, with their set prices. I don't think they can change the prices for those who already pre-ordered, can they?

I already ordered a CD+DVD but from CDJapan :( But that's okay, I just have to hope I'll be lucky and able to get a lucky drag prize from there.

I recall that HMV also did this with... NEXT LEVEL? Or was it GUILTY? A COMPLETE?

Perhaps no one's really buying from them, and this is how they're trying to get customers? Haha. It's kind of not worth it since they fold your posters anyway... -sigh-

But some people do like getting prizes along with their CDs, so who knows...

Don't worry, that happened to me before (I don't remember for which single), and YA didn't change the price for those who preordered before the poster announcement.

^^cool. But only until Wednesday? I hate that YA are always so uninformative. I mean I don't really know where to order anymore. Mmh...

Sweet!

First Press now comes with poster and photobook

I remember yesasia did this with A COMPLETE
that's why I have this stupid ultra-small sticker

Yaai poster!! I didn't preorder yet so... bye bye YA, hi CDJ~~~ XDD

Will the lucky draw prize poster be the same as the posters we're gonna get as the external bonuses? If so, at least ordering at CDJ would guarantee us a poster -___-

^that wouldn't really make sense, if it is the same poster. But I don't know.

i forget again
is B2 poster is the same poster size as You were and Rule?

or larger?
and anybody here already email YA regarding this poster bonus?

thanks

That's not even funny if they give us the same poster.. =_="

it's like two Rule posters

It's larger, YW/B & Rule it was a B3 poster, B2 is larger.

I don't think it's necessary to email YesAsia. They WILL add the poster, and even if you mail them before they do, they'll tell you that they don't know anything about that XD

And I was thinking something, maybe the B2 poster from the lucky draw will have the Limited Box cover on it?
Since with CD+DVD & CD we'll get Type A poster and with the Arena DVD Type B poster?

Lol that really sounds like something they'd do.

haha thanks for the answer
so i assume its the usual promo poster.

and i have drop email to YA and give them CDJapan link
hohoho

asking YA will they give the same poster
^_^

Then anyone who wants to pre order from there should do it now.

I'm pretty sure they can't. It's set in stone after you pre order it, ne?

^exactly, if you have already preordered it, the price will be the same for you. I happened to me with Days/GREEN, I ordered it early so I had the original price when they put the posters, but with You were/Ballad I ordered it when the posters were included, so I had to pay mpre ^^

so yeah, people who want to buy in YA should buy it now, before they include the posters ^^

and that:

so TA will have it too?? the posters?? O please I hope thet this will be the same for CDJ and YA, I wanna have both psoters with the box!

actually I think that the ones, like me, in AHS, who give info from TA are international fans (not japanese/chinese) ^^ and, in fact everything we post here, TA messages, covers, etc, is posted immediately, and we never said "oh I shared but I can't", or said "the covers are up, are amazing, but I'm not gonna upload them"... all this things happens with song leaks ^^

They don't know me, nor my TA number... anything (I just went to one thread here where I posted it and delate it just in case, I don't want them to report me if they found it LOL) Plus, maybe japanese have an internal rule or sth, but I didn't get an e-mail saying me to read it or sth LOL

and, truehappiness can you give me the link to that BBS?? I just wanna read what they say... I never saw a place with TA members ^^ I'm gonna post there "I leak TA info, la la la lalaaa" (joking LOL)

I pre-ordered the CD + DVD from YA and the AT2009 yesterday so i hope that they will add the poster to the album .....

ah yeah TA also have the poster thing as mu-mo... (pheww... if YA don't put them I still have TA...)

I just read this, I didn't know the prizes were THAT limited 0___0 Only 3-6 people for each prize. Seems like posters/stickers are among the highest chances. I sure hope the prize poster isn't the same as the bonus poster...that would be...huh.

Btw, is that particular poster THE first press for CD only? Or is there more to come?

It's for CD+DVD and CD only
Limited Box might have two posters

anyway, yesasia always sell such posters separatly

are the non-TA members who buy the limited box set will get both posters?
or it's just for TA members?

@LostHeaven - lol yeah & the ironic thing's that the posters in front with regards to You were ... / BALLAD , it's labelled not for sale

-_-

Oooooh, I hope the box comes with both posters, or a special one! *_* I would love to get two, hah. Even if they're the same, I'll just keep it in case my cats destroy one or something, lol.

I ordered all versions...wow, guess I'll be getting four posters lol

^ I'm sure the poster in the box set will be either different from the A and B types, or have both that A and B posters.

i just saw at CDjapan that the CD+DVD and the CD only version also gets the posters as an external bonus, but there is nothing added about the limited edition box

^because it's sold out

aww man... I want the posters!!!!!
but since I ordered the limited box set from yesasia...I will probably not get them...I'll have to save up money to buy them later individually from yeasasia...buuu~~~

So because it's sold out there is no need to update the status for the people who did order it ? i find that a bit strange

LostHeaven sent an e-mail to CDJapan asking if the boxset have the posters so we will know if it has them soon. ^^

she looks really really strange in the covers

it's out of the 30's in terms of days left :D 29 days~~

I really hope YA adds some posters too, I don't want the only poster I get to be of the CD-only

Ayu or Kuu are not worth? Sorry but they sell as good as Namie - maybe even better.

The only reason is that Avex want to sell the same thing twice. They'll continue releasing at DVD and few years after they'll re-release all concert tours at Blu-ray (of course fans will buy all of them). The same thing will happend with PVs - there will be new Clip Box 2 at Blu-ray + re-edition of old clip box. It's just the matter of time.

Aaaw, I'm going to get the same poster twice! Now I feel bad for buying the CD and CD+DVD. I'm still hoping that based on what CDJapan says, there is still another bonus lined up for the CD only!

Oh well, I can't see YA not adding the posters, but if by some weird chance they don't at least I won't be missing out. (Well I am, on the DVD one, but I can't afford that anyway...)

Btw I just noticed that the CD only and CD+DVD are the same poster (type A) and the DVD poster is (type B) so I wonder if it will be the CD+DVD cover used in the album's poster or the boxset's. ^^

Is it certain that Amazon JP won't be giving out posters? I'm so sad :(...~~

I've been hearing for a long time that there is no poster there; but I suppose it's not certain every time.

^
Well...I'm hoping for the best, but I ordered the CD-only version just in case from CDjapan. >3<;; Gah, I'm gonna be so poor....XD -sigh-

http://mb2.whocares.jp/mbb/u/threbbs/

Since no one seems to have seen it, mu-mo posted in the LIMITED SPECIAL BOX page that it will contain both the type A and type B posters that come with the albums' different editions and the concert DVD.

^thankss

they are the same, type A and B ^^ only sayign because for mu-mo and TA shop... if it's liek this there, it should be the same with CDJ/YA ^^

http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/8411/14244284.png

OMG... that box in TA has everything XDD except for the stickers from mu-mo XD but bleh... XD

Prize drawing at YA confirmed:

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for purchasing at YesAsia.com.

We will have a lucky draw for your ordered item. Please check back our website for updates later this week.

I wonder if these online stores get this much harassment from fans of other artists? :laugh

^^that's good. And now I only have to win something. I never did before. Unfair....:)

Yay I'm glad YA will have the lucky draw... now I just hope they add the posters!!

If yesasia doesnt add the posters I sooo want the one from the lucky draw!!!

They all go home with their heads in their hands :P But really, if any other artist has as many things as Ayu like this (lottery, different first press gifts etc.) I'm sure there are some fans that give them a little grief lol They're probably all thinking 'These Ayu fangirls, what's wrong with them?!' unless they're fans like us :P

So YA has the lucky draw too...oh yeeeeesssssss!!! XD
If YA adds the poster I'll die. I was going to buy the cd on CDJ for the poster and lucky draw, but I prefer YA ^^U

Aaaahhh!!! I hope the poster is something amazing!!! No offense to Ayu, but after seeing my friend's GREEN/Days and Mirrorcle World posters, I became very scared because they are slightly frightening, staring at you O___O If there is a poster for R'n'RC, I hope it isn't the CD only cover, because she is staring straight at the camera o___o

I hope don't win anything from YA so my CD Japan order can be sent instead, the free shipping on YA is so sloooow nowadays. I ordered an Ayu shirt and it shipped 10 days ago and still no sign of it :/

new TA message with pics of rehearsals and the shot of Bea's UP with ANDY again ^^ I won't post a new thread and translation, wait for misa-chan ^^ but here you have the pics ^^ I think she is happy cause everyone liked the covers, she's working hard with rehearsals, yoou can see she looks worried, and she says she will improve every day more and more and that today (tuesday) she is going ot band rehearsals ^^

-pool of drool develops on floor-

Thanks for these! They are so beautiful *o*

Thank you for sharing those! So beautiful!

I'm exploding with excitement after seeing those pics!! she's so GORGEOUS oh my ****ing god

Those pics are awesome <3333333333333

Thank you truehappiness!!

Thank you for sharing the pics!! *__*

Aaaww I want to see magazines so bad!! Hopefully a friend will buy them for me *__*

she looks perfect per usual. i love her hair, it looks perfect.

wow.she's so gorgeous!
its nice!i should've pre-order at yesasia >.<

LMAO......

thats true, she looks so damn gorgeous

i have a question here.
we will confirm get one of the prizes for the lucky draw if we pre-order it from hmv?

The CD+DVD, yeah. They guarantee one of the gifts. I suppose not many people are buying from HMV...

i see.in case IF i won the cushion,do i need to pay extra for the shipping @ hmv?

aaaw she looks so gorgeous :D

I will laugh if the HK press includes a non-limited version of the box. I think they've done this before - releasing something of ayu's that was limited in japan but in a non-limited overseas form.

Or even a HK limited form, they would have to do one for asian customers too. I don't think this is the only chance people are going to get this box brand new from avex.

and thanks for sharing those shots. i really hope her tour doesn't start as rocky as the NEXT LEVEL one. I think she has more time to rehearse this year, but I have a feeling its still down from the time she got to rehearse for previous tours that haven't coincided with an album release.

Why would you have to pay for it? It's a free gift.

I doubt they'd do it since there's a foodstuff included in the box... maybe they'll exclude the tea and just make their own mug+CD+DVD+DVDs box... who knows.

As far as the tour goes, it should be amazing. I thought the NEXT LEVEL tour was pretty good at the start, they just had to make several changes after the tour started which isn't all that crazy since it'd been done at AT06 and AT03-04 before....

I haven't been anticipating for magazine scans in a looong time!

because the stuff is overweight.and i paid 900yen for the cd+dvd only.900yen is definitely not enough to cover the shipping fee for the gift and also the cd+dvd

Well, if they make you pay extra shipping just because of a free gift, that's a load of bull.

anybody know about amazon? if posters will be included with the boxset? Do they normally fold or roll posters?

oh i see.so they won't charge me any shipping fee for the lucky draw gift.if thats the case,should i pre-order another copy from hmv? :irked

As far as I know, Amazon.co.jp does not include posters when they are first press bonuses.

I wish you could choose which novelty item you get :weep
I want the pendant! Or the ball point pen.

omg....:weep

boxset with no posters or cd+dvd & at09 dvd with posters...:thud

I totally would have bought it from HMV if it weren't embargoed because of the tea leaves! I love HMV, the shipping is sooooooooo fast, I usually get my stuff a day or two after the release date :D

OMG the new Ayu's Diary pics are gorgeoussss!
i love AYu's style..the colors are so natural and sexy!

anyway, i wanna ask for the limited box set, we will get both poster A and B?

Yes. Both posters will come with the box set.

-steps on over to the other thread, haha-

i would also get from hmv if not for the folding posters part... :( shipping is much cheaper at hmv compared to cdjapan
