Nice! The concert deserves a proper release for sure. :)

That's not what I expected...

I want to buy it but I'm not a team ayu member...
So it wouldn't be on CDJapan ?

Oh, I'm glad we'll get to see Life this time <3

I've never use it, but you can order mu-mo item through CD Japan

In the past, CD Japan have offered the TA and mu-mo shop exclusive versions through their proxy service. Just give it a few weeks and it will likely be made available.

Disappointed I can't buy it through YesAsia but hopefully this won't be a trend for future releases.

You can buy through the site
CD Japan

can't wait for the cover release

This whole MUSIC for LIFE ~return~ has me so pumped. I've really enjoyed the last two releases of ayu and I can't wait to hear what the new album is going to be like with tracks of Dream a Dream & 23rdMONSTER

Unless I missed an announcement somewhere, I wouldn't be holding my breath in anticipation of an album. Live DVDs and the occassional single is all you can really expect these days.

^She's bound to put Ohia no Ki, Dreamed a Dream and 23rd monster on some kind of album at some point, even if it's not soon.

I really just hope she doesn't pull another TROUBLE and that next time round there will be more than 3 new tracks!

I love how matured her vocals sound on Life! its beautiful :D

isn't the cover taken from some magazine or promo shot that we have seen before... I have that impression...

edit: it was taken from the promos for 23rd Monster ^^

We need behind the scene ��

WIG

She must re-record Life with that voice!

Ohia is already on A BALLADS 2.

Ok, I really want to buy this...

Last time I bought something from TA shop was like 10 years ago (before there was a Global TA), do I still need a Tenso address? or how it is going now?

I'd still be surprised if it didn't show up on the next original album (if she ever releases one mind you), it didn't stop You&Me for instance.

Idk. I’d leave it where it is. As it makes AB2 a bit more special. Mirrorcle World did not get added to NEXT LEVEL and it remained an A COMPLETE exclusive…

Puedes ordenarlo en CDJapan a través de su servicio Proxy :]
(un poco caro, no sé si salga igual que pedirlo en TA Shop/mumo usando Tenso...)

on AB2, it's just a live performance through so why not add the song on the next album indeed :)

^Oh right, I thought it was in there as a regular track! If it's only a live performance I find it even likelier that it'll end up on the next album!

Mmmh I suppose you're right, although I feel like MW was different as it was an anniversary song. Don't get me wrong though, I'd prefer if Ohia didn't make it to the next album, mostly because I agree that AB2 needs exclusive content!

I only just listened to the new digest for this DVD and... Oh my god Life?? Can't wait to hear the full version!!

Nope, Ohia no Ki's original studio track is on AB2 CD's regular tracklist.

I think Mirrorcle World is a special case. It's an extended version of a previous album track, Mirror. Not including it at NEXT LEVEL makes sense.

I just rewatched the show and damn, it was really good.
There are so many gems and epic performances like Return Road + (m)u + Haru Yo Koi + Love song and finally a stage performance of LIFE OMG
Someday I'll get one copy of this BD for sure since she reunited 3/5 of my favorite songs from her so, yeah, she deserves it :heart

RAINBOW (og A BALLADS) and part of me (A BEST 2) were never included on any of her albums either

Yup, you still need to use tenso (or any other Japanese address)

But they weren't released as separate singles (not even in digital form), they were made specially to the release (like Haru yo, Koi for A BALLADS 2).

Just saw the bandana now and they should have sticked with the monochromatic logo all around the concert, it's way better than the red Resident Evil glaring at me hahaha :P

^Yeah, as often I am confused by the choices made by the marketing team on a logo ahaha!

I'm just glad the DVD ended up looking elegant and somewhat classy.

That setlist is great. I'm going to hafta check this out :O

Can someone please enlight me what "Sumapura movie" is?

a code to download the concert digital

I feel annoying with the white shadow T.T
It's overused

WOW

Photo book looks nice.
Blu-ray packed in an old black DVD case looks cheap. I was hoping they would do a nice slipcase like they did for the last release.

Someone posted Life performance on Bilibili
https://b23.tv/BV1uA411F7wB

And I guess it's the full concert:
https://b23.tv/BV19g411F72d

^ thanks for the links! I guess they didn't re-edit the vocals after the first streaming version? I noticed the off keys in 23rd Monster

EDIT: I just saw the Life performance and holy shit THIS is the version that should have been in A BALLADS 2. in this arrangement I could feel the 'weight' of the song.

thanks for sharing, and what a stunning performance =)

I uploaded the show at Jpopsuki. Extracted from that bilibili link.

I just checked the top 20 Oricon DVD chart for the last three days and this DVD doesn't show up... is it really doing that bad?

Thank you. The show is great although it is the same with the June version.
Life is so sweet, omg

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think products sold through mu-mo are not counted by Oricon, that might explain why it isn't charting.

Can someone post concert for download please.

I'm uploading it right away. When it's finished, I'll create a topic at Downloads section.

EDIT: here! If someone have the lossless blu-ray rip of fhe show, I'd be very appreciated.

Scans of photobook from ayumifans weibo https://disk.yandex.ru/d/UjQrIqrjBuEdDg

Thanks :)

I've been steering clear of this thread until my copy arrived and I've got such mixed feelings--the photobook is GORGEOUS but for it to come in an ill-fitting plastic sleeve so the blu-ray could also squeeze in there was so disappointing. Saigo no TROUBLE was so nicely done and then we get...this...

Has anyone else noticed the absolutely shoddy quality of the blu-ray case as well?!? (Not sure if the DVD version uses the same one or not.) I CAN LITERALLY BEND THE CASE.

Omg I thought the case was bad for mine because it's the OS press but I'm guessing choco you got the Japan version? The case has got this bootleggy feel to it lmao. Man, the packaging for this is a total fail. But the contents of the photobook is indeed amazing. It reminds me of the one we got for A BEST LIVE.

Yeah I got the JP version TT____TT

Like oh my god even just a black blu-ray branded case would have been better!!!!!

Still no number figures?

I think I saw somebody saying what RealLight mentioned that they don't count it if a release is mu-mo/fanclub exclusive.

「TODAY (Live + Behind The Scene from ayumi hamasaki MUSIC for LIFE ～return～)」

This is a special movie that captures the emotion-filled moment of the first live with an audience in 491 days, not only on stage but also with unreleased off-shots.

Thanks for sharing...!
Frankly, i wasn't expecting much... but most of the songs blew me away. One of it was the Return Road. Wow~
