OMFG I LOVE YOU HAHAHAHAHAH

The timing is still bizarre though. Especially with what Ayu was promoting at the time...

And the Party Queen flop.

Though, it would make sense if they decided to use another BEST to try and improve Ayu's popularity following Party Queen's disappointing sales. Saying that though, A SUMMER BEST was poorly promoted, as if its only purpose was to create a bit of dosh on the side rather than increase Ayu's popularity. So that kind of wipes that theory out. Which makes me think it was a release for fans...

Possibly inspired by fans? Hmmmmmmm....


Haha, I think it's really surprising that there aren't any Ayu 'Nek Minit' memes!!!!!! Somebody really needs to make one for LOVE again. xD

Might also have been that Ayu wanted to release You & Me, avex were afraid she'd lose her #1 single streak by releasing it as a single and instead decided to package it in a best-of where it getting to #1 really didn't matter.

Sorry I just had to :P

You know at first I was kind of "yeah, 5 new releases!" but now after a while I think all of them were a bad idea. It was kind of pointless there was SO much stuff that came out in a short period of time without letting any of it settle and now nobody cares. I thought as time went on she would have slowed down on the releases big time. I remember when we actually used to anticipate new singles and album but we went from 0-1 singles a year to like 3 mini albums a best and a new album remix albums and whatever the hell else she has planned to be released.

I was able to enter my Australian address by putting in the postcode as follows: 000-XXXX

It seems to have worked so I wouldn't have to wait for Tenso to mediate any goods :)

I actually joined TA with a Tenso address and selected the TA option and no hissy fits - maybe Avex knows a portion of her TA members are overseas and use Tenso?

HAHAHAHAHA! Oh my gosh, I'm never going to be able to watch the Return Road PV without thinking of Nek Minit now!!!! xD

On another note: Only two weeks or so until the anniversary song is released. I wonder if it will be an anniversary version of an early hit or?

^ What's that "Nek Minit" thing ?

Wikipedia is your friend ^^

Hopefully a re-sung version of an early hit. The 10th anniversary releases were just :heart

Thanks ^^

And I didn't receive my AT12 DVD yet ! I'm gonna be mad !
Please remind me the deadline to register our 5 codes ?

Entry Period: March 8th 00:00 to March 31st 23:59
You have the whole next (or this, in my case) week, hopefully you'll have the DVD before it's over! :) When and where did you order it, if I may ask?

There's a deadline to redeem the codes? That must suck if you ordered from YesAsia! :laugh

The Ayu + Maro thing should be "Nek Sekando"

I was so afraid of that so I ended up buying the DVD from CDJapan, and it came in like 5 days :D

I also realized that I haven't used CDJapan since 2010... duhhell.

I also ordered at YA and still haven´t recived my BD <.< If anyone doesn´t need his code please pm me ._.
I didn´t order at CDJ because everytime, and I mean really everytime I order there i have to pay tax <.<

You shd use express shipping if u wanna avoid tax n get it fast.

I ordered at YA too, and I got my DVD this morning.
Maybe you'll receive your BD this week too.

I hope everyone's codes come in on time!

Surprisingly for me, my BD arrived right on 2 weeks after release, I'll cross my fingers for all of you guys *__*


If she does 15th anniversary versions my heart is gonna asplode, I don't think I could handle that after the amazing 10th anni releases. It was a slow year musically but the MW covers, the long cases, the Ayupan ship and music box HNNNNNNNNNNNG I still love them <3

Good to hear, hope for this week then^^
