She looks charming :O

that styling is amazing!!!

Oh my, it looks so enchanting

Well, for all we know, she may be just sitting in the room and singing...like Sweet scar-ish

i can't see the preview of the outfit..can anybody post it again?

I enjoyed each second of Sweet Scar PV =) it's beautiful



http://i.imgur.com/tgInSIG.jpg

From the pictures, why does the PV feels more spring than winter? Come on! Where are the snow, gloomy, dark blue thingy that feels more like winter.

^it's possible that we won't get three sad songs. An happy winter song would be nice. Winter doesn't mean cold and gloomy definitely. Winter could be warm too

^ especially when you live in LA

she looks pretty

I love Sweet Scar, many people didn't ejoy it that much but to me it was strong and subtle at the same time.

And terrible song.

i love Sweet scar as a song and the PV is one of my favorites. simple yet so beautiful, good PV doesn't need million dollar budget, Sweet scar is perfect example of that

:spew First press: B2 size poster, I though we would never see this again :luv2 love the poster bonus

At first when it was talked about I wanted more, but after watching it I was taken away by how beautiful and simple it was. She looks very nice in this PV

I consider Sweet car like her last really good PV ! It was simple but really beautiful/ aesthetic and if you take time to look at it Ayumi tries to say something with body language and facial expression ! Really well made imo :) I want more MV like that from her !

i haven't check out "Sweet Scar" PV, after review from people about the PV being boring, I immediately assumed it was boring.....you guys makes me want to watch the PV...

^as it has been said just before your post, it's her only PV with Song 4 U worth watching since FIVE :)

someone knows how to make this messy hairstyle?

well for those who like all kind of drama and crazy visuals only, it is a borring one. But i personally loved it. It was clean, sophisticated, aesthetic and beautiful.

i had to watch Sweet scar twice after i came home. it's just so beautiful - yes there's nothing special going on on the screen but it's so simple and well-made that it's stunning.

yayyyyyy I get a poster!

ohh! Wait sorry im a bit late but there IS going to be a PV in the end? but not on the single itself?

Sweet scar has an okay PV (great, for her recent PV's standard), but the song is just climax-less-ly dull.

Sweet Scar is beautiful as it is and its PV totally fits the mood of the song.

Talking about PV's, I get a You were/BALLAD vibe when I see her pretty hairstyle and pink dress.

I love Sweet scar--it's my favorite from LOVE again, actually. :) The video complements it well. In my opinion, I don't think it needs a climax since it's not trying to be grand.

I'm guessing they will release the PVs physically on the album when it comes out, as a cd+dvd version?

they don't seem to be bringing a cd+dvd version out for this triple-single

inb4 budget cuts concerning lack of PV on the single. Slavex strikes again.

A wedding type video?

YEEEEES

She looks so pretty and mature in these photos, especially where she's wearing those sweaters while recording. She looks very motherly in the best sense. :) I'm just loving her glasses and hair combined with the sweater. ;) Makes her look so human.

Also, her hair in the photos from the shooting of the PV is awesome. Wish I had seen those hairstyles back when I was going to prom so I could've gotten my hair done that way. XD

i think she gonna release the video on youtube and TV only. No PV in the single....or maybe....she gonna release TA DVD version only...so people will immediately apply for the TA this December?

Those pictures from one of the PV shootings are so lovely. :heart I can already tell that this PV is going to be a simple, yet beautiful PV! I love everything about ayu's look, especially her pink dress & super cute hairstyle. :love She looks so, so pretty! :heart I'm totally excited for this PV & I look forward to more updates on it. :)

About Sweet scar I always think that the real title must be (snowy kiss) and for snowy kiss the real title must be (Sweet scar) :irked

^I always mix the titles! I think the snow in the pv of sweet scar confuses me a bit xD

guys, have you order the single from CDJapan? In my account it says "waiting for stock" but nothing about the bonus poster, maybe they will add it later?

Still no news on TA version and TA Pre-order link?

Yes the snow confuses me too haha
I order the single too and nothing about the poster in my account but this is normal, the poster will be included anyway

If Sweet Scar shows anything is how bad Ayu acts. Those first seconds... D:

Anyway, here's hoping this new PV is better than her last ones.

And isn't it time for some previews? :/

^it is still a bit early i think. We should get something by 10th i'd say.

i wan a gorgeous single cover!! :)

Something reminiscent of the recent bea's up magazine shoot, maybe outside with a snowy background would be pretty amazing.

i waited for this single for a long time and I hope next year she'll release a summer one

YES! Dying for another summer single. Especially a triple A side.

i'm actually glad she's going back to physical singles, rather than the digital ones. the singles themselves seem to be of better quality. and although terminal was released as a recut, she has done that many times in her career. so all in all VERY excited for this release!

I was expecting a CD+DVD version for FC... The exclusive bonus are not that interesting / worth buying for me, if I end up buying this single it'll be the regular version

I don't get the point

TeamAyu version come with card to get access to making movie
but how to watch PV?

at description of all music card I found only 3 original songs

I was thinking about the PV as well, I guess they'll simply release a full version of it on YT. It's unlikely for avex to do so, but they did it with Namie's CYC?, it could be a good strategy for this single...

I want the A5 notebook. It will be great if someone make a group purchase

Finally!
Just pre-ordered the TA 5 items package with the A5 sized Notebook^^

hope to see the covers soon!
23 days more to go~

So for those Global fans, TA will ship directly to your homes?

no, you still need tenso or other middleman

Hello possible to find a tuto for Mumo and Tenso ? I have a tenso account, but when i go to Mumo why the team ayu link, for buy the single, i can not enter the Tenso personal address. That indicated every time : Not good address. But i have the good address. Anyone have a idea. Thanks, and sorry for my english...

so which one do I order?! LOL and why are the serial numbers different for seemingly the same versions?! Different covers, I'll bet...

［TeamAyu Official Shop］
(1)Standard package (Only CD) AVCD-83126A　1,296yen (Tax included)
⇒B2 sized poster (NOT FOR SALE) (qty:1)

［mu-mo shop］
(6)Standard package (Only CD) AVCD-83126B　1,296yen (Tax included)
⇒B2 sized poster (NOT FOR SALE) (qty:1)

What? what's the point of signing up to be a member if we STILL need the middleman???? I think i will not register the membership.

WHY IS TENSO UNAVAILABLE! I'M TRYING TO ORDER lol

Yup I just spent 2 hrs trying to register in mu-mo and tenso (I realise they need a copy of your id which i dont feel safe giving out) and vpost (another middleman to replace tenso).

Guess what - after successfully created the mu-mo acc, I am too tired and disappointed to buy the single. the estimated shipping fee also seems to cost more than what I have purchased from cdj yesterday

Really hope Global TA will allow intl shipping without a middleman else no point signing up for global

There's an additional winter medley track for the TA version.

I think maybe if they ship the cd's to overseas those sales wont count towards oricon??

Team Ayu shop doesn't seem to be loading for me right now. :irked

Tenso is finally loading, but I'm confused about ordering. I'm on this screen on TA:

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y13...psd8525584.png

If I hit accept and order, is that it? Because TA has my actual USA address, so I'm not sure what to do. I have a tenso account. But I don't think I should change my address in TA to the one tenso gave me, right? I'll look for a thread on this, but it may be different now with the TA global site.

Thanks for any help~!

I was thinking of registering too but now I'm convinced not to do it :shakehead I don't have so much money to throw away :mad

Hi, is there anyone here can help to translate the registration form for global TA? I really can't read what kanji means.

OMG I forgot how confusing it was, lol.

@Pieces no, there's a further page where you have to enter your tenso address and payment details/credit card info. The shipping info is a PAIN because you can't actually copy and paste your info. You have to RETYPE the letters or else it will not accept it. I copy and paste my tenso numbers to word pad then change the font to Arial. You can use this:

千住曙町42-4TSxxxxxx (use your numbers where the x's are)

The other parts should be filled out for you, but it won't work unless you use those characters and your own numbers. But don't use the TENSO font!

*phew*

I just ordered the 4 copies version, with the note book. The notebook was the clincher for me, damn my love of stationery.

Maybe ayu should work together with cdjapan for shipping her fanclub items. Cdjapan is the best so far for me to get her music with low cost on shipping.

Thanks for this! I was using the tenso font...but I'm changing it. I'm guessing it wouldn't be shipped properly? This is annoying...lol

^If you try and use the tenso font and click order, it will tell you that the shipping address is incorrect. Took me about 6 tries to remember that I had to change the font before it would accept it! It's frustrating but I got there in the end. Let me know if it works for you! :)

So if you're a global TA member, you still need to use TENSO to order your goods. One step at a time, people. :D

You can copy & paste your tenso address if you use Chrome Browser (I extra installed it because of that xD)
And to you guys that are mad about still have to use tenso, it is TeamAyu that went global, not mu-mo. Why do you think they made everything digital before? (TA Digital Mag, digital member card, etc) It was 1st step to make it global, because digital stuff is easier to handle.

I'm using chrome now and it wouldn't accept the copied and pasted address...so I'm trying to type it in now. Usually I'm OK with typing in Japanese, but an address is a little different...

I tried to copy and paste the address after changing the font in notepad to Arial and it still is not accepting it. Earth, is it possible for you to write it here for me (and others)? Are all tenso addresses the same?

so I will register tomorrow for global TA. I want to order the TA only edition but i don't have a tenso account. Can anyone explain to me (or point to me a tutorial maybe) on how to create and use one so that it will ship to my home? thanks ç-ç

Here's a guide on Tenso that I used, pretty easy. I'm just having trouble getting TA to recognize the address that tenso assigned to me...

http://www.tenso.com/en/guide/flow/index.html

I also was trying veeeeeeeeeeery long to type that damn address on my fisrt purchase, but if you have entered it right one time, it will show up the next time when you order and click on the address field.

FINALLY GOT IT. There was a typo in my address somehow after I changed the font to arial in note pad. LOL finally noticed and changed it, and my order went through.

that sucks you have to buy whole set to get any TA-extras! :no

Maybe it's not a big deal (only it kind of is), but I really wanted a membership card. And now with no international shipping, it's like, wtf am I paying for? Access to the shop, basically. And some forum members have been kind enough in the past to take group orders. So I'm really trying to figure out what I'm paying for.

As long as they offer ticket raffles and that stuff to us, I won't be too upset. I went to Japan last time and arrived the night before with no tickets. SO risky. I got lucky and it was fine, but it's not something I'd prefer to do!

You don't, there's the CD fan club version on its own for the same price as regular edition ; that's the one I got when I saw the price of the packages x_x
There isn't any poster with it though, contrary to normal edition.

I got the fan club version with all three post cards, and the notebook. (Since I already pre ordered and paid from CDJ and am also getting the regular edition with the poster...)

I hope since I'm getting the regular and TA version that the covers are different...lol

i'm kinda dissapointed atm. i'm not interested of music card if they are not as gorgeous as Feel the love / Merry-go-round was and i have to order them ALL to get any TA-extras? i think that's kinda fucked up :rolleyes i thought you get them no matter what version you order :no maybe i thought incorrectly

i meant the notebook etc TA-extras :) sorry that i didn't say it clearly enough

not to mention, besides paying for the item AND they're 500 yen shipping charge, I've gotta pay tenso for them to ship it to me. oh avex.

i've already seen tweets expressing disappointment. Can't say I really disagree.

In the future, if you guys are trying to paste your shipping address from Tenso and it keeps giving you an error that it's formatted incorrectly, what usually works (on Chrome for me, at least) is to right-click into the field you're pasting it into and instead of just 'paste' do 'paste to match style'. I had a lot of trouble the first time I was trying to use my Tenso address last month but that solved my problems, and I just created a mu-mo account to get around it in the future.

I ordered the 5-set bundle with the notepad. :tired Farewell, mone¥~

Oh thank you very much!!

Yea I was looking forward to some physical identification of finally being a TA member. Well I have one year to consider renewal, hopefully there is some perks by then to justify for the fee and horrible shipping process and amount

TeamAyu offers lots of things beside shopping, not to mention simple fact of supporting your favourite artist.

It's all digital stuff though. I'm just concerned that they won't extend the ticket raffles to global.

lol yeah right

They already translated faqs about tickets, so I wouldn't worry about that.

Just so you guys know, the membership cards aren't individual, they're blank and all identical, you have to write your own number on them.

regular edition CD will come with bonus poster
but not the limited edition -_- wtf? I want to buy fanclub version and get poster

Picture from one of PVs? It was posted on her facebook.

If you want a chance of getting better concert tickets it's not pointless at all. You are eligible for fan club editions of Ayu's releases, have access to the diary, mags etc.

Now only if it all weren't in Japanese and we still didn't have to use Tenso...

:luv2

This is as cute as the bear in You were... pv <3

I think it's just a random picture she took hahaha

It's a cute lil picture and Ayu's really getting me in the Christmas mood. I'm still upset that the single is coming out basically when Christmas ends.

Thanks for saving me a lot of money and time :yes
