wow.the price is so expensive already.more expensive than cdjapan alot!

So now yesasia has versions sold with the poster (slightly more expensive)

don't know if the limited box has posters but it will probably be the same as what CDJ has...

Hm, I suppose I should just add that the limited box set has two posters with it in the first post... hm.

I think my favorite genre of Ayu is her ballads. She definitely shines the most there. Her rock songs are cool but imo a lot of them are starting to sound very generalized... like GAME/1 LOVE/decision/identity... lol they have the similar structure if you get what I mean. At least for her ballads and pop songs I hear some sort of variety which makes me happy. ^^

What happens when the price goes up? I already paid for my preorder, they didn't send me an e-mail or anything to pay more.. but am I supposed to?

you don't need to pay to them anymore.the new price is for those who want to pre-order now or in the future

wow YA:360 items CDJ:150 hmm me likes

Um no. First of all, that was directed at Truehappiness and what I've seen from him in the past 2 years of reading his posts at every Ayu event (single and album releases, photo shoots, PV leaks, etc). He likes every.little.thing and there's nothing wrong with that, but I just doubted if it was really true but after he explained it to me, I understand where he's coming from.

I don't know anything about you or your fandom so that question wouldn't even apply to you from me, nor would I be even able to say it.

I don't think so, I used to think that but then I saw some of his posts where he expressed his dislike for photo shoots, performances, etc. He just doesn't dwell on what he dislikes and likes to talk more about the things he likes, I think.

Understood. :) It just sounded like you didn't think people should like a little of everything in Ayu's portfolio. So I wanted to ask. :o

I wonder when the tracklist will be published
