I just got the e-mail, too.

SO no bundle with any new release.

I thunk there will be no album out in spring:-(

damn it :o April 30th looks so far.. at least we got a release date now.

oh i'm loving this delay on her next album, take your time ayu. No problem if her new album comes only in November or in 2015, Kumi took 2 years to release an original album and look at its quality, I'm amazed. I hope ayu will do the same, she's probably enjoying her boy now :twink

I am glad about that to be honest, don´t want more supersize boxsets ><

why her Blu Rays are always so priceyyy. I can't afford this one, ayuchan!
Glad we have a release date now, looking forward to the cover.
I didn't really think they would release it as a bundle, they publicised it singularly from the start!

same here :cool

Yeah don't understand why her Blu-ray is more expensive than others.
Look... she even has much fewer songs...

Only thing I don't understand is why the CDL was shorter in setlist...

The setlist is awesome and filled with awesome songs only, but, why not 20 songs?

Oh well. Might get it later =)

Lol i don't think it's a matter of quantity of songs, after all a blu ray disk has a large quantity of storage space, they would still use only one disk both with the actual songs or with more songs, it would be enough to contain them all so...maybe it's a matter of package or idk just because she's ayu haha.

But did the concert featured 20 songs at any date?

I think there's only 16 songs.
The setlist stayed the same for all 3 dates for this CDL.
Still debating whether or not to buy the BD. After all, 7300+yen is lots of money.

wow finally some news!
and i'm waiting for the cover pic! hopefully it's great one.

Good news. But I'll wait and get it during summer sales on YA, as usual.

I'm waiting for the cover too.

^ how much discount can one usually get from summer sales on YA? I'll probably do the same, I didn't know about this. thanks for the head up

I will buy the BD version without doubt this CDL looks so amazing =)

I've stopped buying her dvds/blu-rays since her Hotel Love Song (lack of interest) but I really want to see this one!

good news!
but definitely not buying this

I don't think this means it won't be bundled since even the other releases had their own individual releases other than maybe CDL11-12 ~HOTEL Love songs~ which ended up with Party Queen and BEST of CDL06-07 with A BEST 2.

I can use my CDJ points, yay!

hmmm... maybe this year we are gonna receive another mini album judging from the date of the release of the DVD!

The Blu-ray is so expensive because Japan will rise their taxes in April 2014 but ayus Blu-rays were always expensive. 7,140 yen and from April 2014 7,344 yen.

Glad to hear some news from ayu.

I love the sound of "electrocinema break", it sounds like an album track ahaha!

No MC part included !?

WOOO LOVE THIS XD

lol

I may be wrong, but they never include something like 18. MC in the tracklist.

Can't wait for the release :) But the tracklist seems really short this time round

you're right, MC is never listed in tracklist!

Nice to know!
But, of course, Slavex is asking for too much, lol.
Can't afford this right now, but I can't wait to watch/purchase it!
Supercurious about the cover too.

electrocinema break sounds amazing as an interlude!

won't be buying this, as I almost never buy concerts haha.

but it's good to finally get the announcement.

Thank you for posting about the release! I just preordered the bluray from Amazon Japan and I'm looking forward to watching it!

YesAsia pre-order links are online too :

DVD --> http://www.yesasia.com/global/ayumi-...0-en/info.html

Blu-ray --> http://www.yesasia.com/global/ayumi-...0-en/info.html

I will just wait till the HK version comes out :)
I hope they won't put that awful logo on the cover ! (i don't care if it's on the back, but for the front, either a studio pic or a live pic would be great, but no collage please)

EDIT: I just saw that the tracklist on YesAsia is incomplete :

Finally the release date!! :D

Love is All is...????

That's the duet Timmy and Princess perfomed while there's an acrobatic scene going on at the center stage i think. Its really beautiful.

Ah really? Thank you, I'm definitely looking forward :love

can't wait for "Curtain call" performance, i always like to play this song back to back with "teddy bear" :D

I am a bit disappointed....I was hoping for an April album release and it seems we're not going to have it. It doesn't matter, ayu can take her time she deserves it!
Yay for CDl!!

^ from VIVI interview it looks like she's working on a new album so we should get some announcement soon ^^

^Yes, I just read it! I can't wait for the announcement ^____________^

OMG, really?
Yay, she already has 3 songs (or 4 if you count Tell All), she only needs 7 songs and 3 interludes (lol)

looking back at the five month consecutive release prizes i found this:

GET SUPER RARE ITEMS! 5 ITEMS TO ENTER FOR!
Entry Item 1... For 10 winners: Ayu's nationwide arena tour starting in April,
"ayumi hamsaki 15th Anniversary TOUR ~A BEST LIVE~" front-row tickets!
For the shows on 5/4 (at Marinmesse), 5/12 (at Yokohama Arena), 6/30 (at Nippon Gaishi Hall), 7/21 (at Osaka-jo Hall), a pair of tickets will be given to each of 10 winners!
*Tickets will be given to winners at the venue on the day of the performance.
Entry Item 2... A personal item from Ayu will be given to 3 winners!
Entry Item 3... Song lyrics in Ayu's own handwriting will be given to 1 winner!
(The song is to be chosen by the winner from among Ayu's releases up until now.)
Entry Item 4... <TeamAyu Members Only> 2 winners will participate in singing the chorus of a new song to be released in 2013!
Entry Item 5... <TeamAyu Members Only> 10 winners will get an autograph personalized with their full name!

I wonder what happened to the song or if it is still not finished cause it is already 2014

And she said Pray was recorded way back so...She should have some new material since..im wondering how the album would flow though haha all 3/4 songs are so different in mood

Is there English translation for the ViVi interview?

^ I hope Misa will translate it, she always does amazing jobs for the magazine translations!

Cant wait >< prolly getting e taiwan ver this time

Waiting for the OS release. :yes

I wonder if the song was either Feel the love/Merry-go-round but their parts were cut? We probably won't ever get to know what song they helped out on... or perhaps it will definitely be on the next album?

so far we only have: Tell All, Feel the love, Merry-go-round, Pray

i don't mind she take her time for her new album, i rather wait longer for a completely fierce album

Sorry for the late answer. Well, I don't remember exactly how much the dicount was....perhaps something as 15% or 20%.

This is a pretty good setlist, excited for the release date :).

No prob and thank you! I'll be waiting then, I really have no money now. I usually buy everything on the release date so that it can be counted in charts but this time >_<

#5 is just listed as "Love is all" ... is this Sunrise, or Sunset? Some weird mash up of both?

I don't think this is a full song performed. Just a interlude between her costume change.

I think it was reported as a choral interlude.

WE WISH?? Really? Cool :yes
And momentum... Nice she's trying something "new" ;)
But I need coverrrssss >.<

I saw that there is album releases using the setlist of this DVD...is it official?

http://jpopsuki.eu/torrents.php?id=1...rrentid=210752

Yes it's official but these aren't the live versions but the regular studio mix.

^

is it a digital release only?

It seems that Avex is missing ayu releases as much as us XD

So basically it's a release of songs arranged in a way we can do with our playlist function on itunes.

so this is her first "digital" album? LOL

I preordered the DVD
It was a momentum, haha

Yeah, and you can notice that part of Me is A BEST 2 version with Memorial address as hidden track. lol failed iTunes

^
Just a typical Avex way of jerking fans out of money

^Yeah, because everyone on Japan already have Ayu's discography and her recent compilations are having poor digital sales...

Haha me too ;) im going crazy xD

I want cover and a bonus first press gift :(

Gosh! I need the covers, ayumi!

That CDL digital album/playlist is almost as bad as this.
https://itunes.apple.com/jp/artist/hitomi/id73956460

Yes Avex released an "album" of the best songs of hitomi for walking.

^ for walking? LOL great concept! We can expect every kind of best's of avex from now on

I'm curious what's next... Maybe "Best for washing ~shower ver.~", "Best for washing ~laundry ver.~" and "Best for washing ~dishes ver.~". And if you order all three together you will get a bonus CD "Best for washing ~car ver.~".

Only if Utada were an Avex artist...:lech

OMG still a whole month until the release? Time seems so slooow when there are no news xD

This made me laugh hard :P

Only more 29 days ! =.=
I need some news or promotions, digests,... I 'm boring to death !!!!

me want coversss :crazy

bored too,been a while didnt watch Ayu's concert, cant wait to watch something new from her

so, for now i enjoyed watching Feel Tour :P:P

^LOL me too!!

Actually I am now torn between buying the CDL's bluray, or buying the Ghibli's bluray (out on June 18) instead.

Actually 'walking' is a huge part of ayu's discography as well. It's like the Japanese way of symbolising moving on, going through life or something. So it's probably not as ridiculous a concept as washing dishes :)

Can't wait for the covers too!

We need the cover, pronto.

um so i found this on "for a ver club" can this actually be the real cover?

https://scontent-a-fra.xx.fbcdn.net/...54657629_n.jpg

it would be kind of out of place lol

Is it real?

I REALLY hope this is a fake cover '-'

http://www.amazon.co.jp/ayumi-hamasa...82%86%E3%81%BF

It's Real.

Beautiful, but totally not what I expected. Can't buy cause playstations disc reading broke recently :( Still can't wait to see it if someone hopefully uploads eventually.

this cover looks totally out of place, and that font color, cmon', black?! '-' i wonder why they didnt go with the usual live shot, i was expecting an epic one :(

/\ My toughts exactly. I mean, it's a beautiful picture indeed, but using it as a live concert cover? Fail. :(

It's a gorgeous photo, and it's different and unexpected! I like it. Kind of makes me want to buy the blu-ray to be honest.

^ I agree, I love it because it's different :)
But it would suit more to be an album cover instead, maybe it's sth that came from her LA shooting days so they use it.

I just hope her album would have such beauty and elegant styling

I find the cover amazing.:innocent

There's still no cover on avex website, so I don't know, cause this pic is from the same shoot for SCawaii. :think

it looks fake at first coz usually ayu's concert dvds will be mostly taken from the concert pics or wearing concert tees or any attributes related to the concerts..
wow this is totally unrelated haha but the picture looks so nice..

i donno why, but it looks like the staff is being lazy hahaha..

Was this Cdl at the beach ? , because if not that cover makes no sense. . . But still beautiful n_n.

What a strange choice for the cover...

Still gorgeous though.

Strange... but somehow I like it

It whould be not the first time the Cover has no image of the concert but one from a photoshooting.
It´s beautiful yes, but....
I don´t think it´s fake, why should amazon put up a fake cover? o.o

I love that photo, but it honestly doesn't make me think countdown.

I don't think they checked Amazon when they said that.

Also it's just that this one is completely unrelated... like not even on the tour goods.

It's on the official site now.

I love the cover. I like how 2014 is such a different year. I'm sure this new album will be great.

I like the cover too. It's not the first time she is not using a live pic for the cover.
