[question] Duty Out of print?
 

Hi to everybody!

I just wanna know this. I was thinking to buy Ayu's old disc. I was searching in cdjapan, play-asia and they put - out of print-. Yesasia didn't even place it in the list. Anyone know what happened with Duty album?

Thanks in advance!

Yeah, that's crazy that no shops have it in stock...get amazon.jp's last copy, maybe? :)

I managed to find my copy of Duty on Amazon USA last month. I think if you check places like Amazon or EBay, you are more likely to get it there than places like CDJapan or Yesasia.

I got my copy of Duty on Amazon US as well, but it was the Korean version. If you don't mind a non-Japanese edition, you can purchase it here from the same seller I got mine from. :P

Good luck with whatever you decide to do!

Crazy! I bought mine from someone here on AHS years ago. So glad I did. :) But yes, try Ebay or Amazon.

Thank you so much to everyone. I was trying to understand why they made Duty out of print. I think is a great album (musically and the art concept).

But anyway I'll try in a different site to buy this CD.

out of print doesn't necessary means the album was a limited edition . it just means that the online CD shops have a fixed number of copies to be sold & after the target mark has been fit , it will be listed as so

but yes as what other people have said , you have many options in getting Duty from the various sites they've listed & given to you

Amazon Japan is a good place to get 2nd hand copies of Duty at literally 1 Yen + 340 Yen domestic shipping within Japan . Alternatively if you don't mind OS presses , there's always that to fall back on

Now I understand. Thank you soooo much KarenPang for this :)

Moreover, I think it sold like crazy at that time, like 1 or 2 million sold copies. So, it's almost normal that it's out of print now. :)

^ I swear that it sold around 3 million copies in Japan.
Regardless, it sold a lot.

You might just have to wait a while for the shops to restock?

I know they always have her discography at tours and most of the time, non-limited editions are always available so maybe they just need to print more?

You're right. I hope they restock, in that case I just have to wait. Anyway I found the OS press (AVTCD95387) in hmv.hk (just in case hahaha)

I don't think there will be restock as mu-mo is listing Duty as Out of print too.

Umm.. That's kinda weird, her 3 million seller is out of print? Too bad, I wanted to buy the japanese version in some point. Guess I have to be happy with the OS version.

I got my copy of Duty at Book Off NYC three years ago. I never thought it could be out of print... I recommend this eBay seller. He usually has many singles and albums and he updates with new items every 5-6 days. I've bought from him plenty of times and it's not too expensvie and 100% realiable.

A BEST 2 -WHITE-, RAINBOW, Memorial address, I am..., A BEST, and a few other CDs are also "SOLD OUT" on mu-mo. I think they just need to print more copies. Since they're back catalog items, I don't think they're going to be up that quickly.

It's kinda weird that ASfXX and LOVEppears are still in print on sites like CDJapan and Duty isn't....
I wanted to buy Duty really bad too now...

I had no idea Duty was so scarce! I must've gotten lucky then, I found mine at BOOK OFF. I wasn't even necessarily looking for it I just happened to come across it by chance so I'm really glad I grabbed it when I could.

Purchased mine from a pop culture convention here hehe

The best deals you will ever find will be on sites like eBay or Yahoo Auctions.
I saw it on a french reseller shop (online) and it was listed at more than €50 ! O.O
