SECRET: My Story
 
Pre-prequel: Once upon a time, there was a girl named Ayumi.
/.../
Then, suddenly, this person found her to be one of the greatest people ever. He decided he should support Ayumi* as much as possible with the support being given gradually as time goes on.

The story begins here.

Ooh, bubbles! *pop-pop-pop* (Someone could reply and tell me if that's about the normal amount of bubblewrap or is it more. If you can't see very well, then nevermind.)

My darling, I have waited for you to awe me with your presence. You are finally here. I am truly over the moon. Your amazing music can roam in our humble home through lossless sound waves, your amazing videos can act as a light source on the television set. :love

Yes, you can keep an eye on everything that goes on in the living room. :)

Well, there you have it. It may seem like not a big deal to you, but I assure you, this is one thing I have waited for.

[EDIT] There should be a poster somewhere, but I'm sure it'll come in the next 4 days due to shipping units mumbo-jumbo. :P [/EDIT]

* YES, I KNOW moneyhungry avex trax takes like 97% of the money I paid, but Ayumi gets something.

KyahRyorin 27th January 2007 07:03 PM

YES!! I am so glad you finally got it!! I was so excited when I got my Secret CD too!

emi♡ 27th January 2007 08:16 PM

theprojectzero 27th January 2007 11:09 PM

OMG! Your Ayumi's album is packed in that big box? Your Ayumi's album must be really big then? WOW!

Really? The 5th photo is like billboard size!!!

JaysenRyan 27th January 2007 11:17 PM

Mad_Cactuar 28th January 2007 01:53 AM

The first Ayoomi CD in Estonia probably. :heart Congratulations!

It's pretty, isn't it? And you made the right choice by picking the right album. :thumbsup

bulmasman 28th January 2007 05:15 AM

Congrats ^^. I only got my copy of the album yesterday and i'm seriously enjoying it ^^

truehappiness 28th January 2007 05:21 AM

Actually, I think that Ayu gets a lot more than we think, mostly from the "songwriter" portion of profits . :]

And she probably got the most money from I am... [excluding A BEST.] since she composed as well~

evolutionricky 28th January 2007 07:03 AM

I'm lucky I just went to the store to get mine. I notice yours is overseas version.

Norrel 28th January 2007 07:16 AM

Woo! That was an intersting collection of pics...

BROUGHT DOWN by the fact it's in the wrong section D:

DUN DUN DUN...!

Haha, just kidding, wish I could finally get my copy :(

Mad_Cactuar 28th January 2007 09:49 AM

Oh, I wonder, how much did it cost you, which site did you buy it from, how long did it take to reach you?

Diana 28th January 2007 01:05 PM

Glad you got it :D I was also so excited to get mine. Unya~ I was so happy :)

Dont worry, poster will come few days later rolled. Mine did. I almost wanted to sue them for not sending it right away :P lol

Mad_Cactuar - I ordered from yesasia, actualy my friend and he passed it to me, it took about 2 weeks to get here i think... Something like that! :)

looking from the package and that it's oversea version, it should be from yesAsia

LOL, I wouldn't count on that. It would suck if I were the only fan of her who buys her stuff. :P I'm sure it's one of the first versions of Secret, but definitely not the first Ayumi CD, since the Drizzly releases are available here.
Yes, it's gorgeous. And choosing it wasn't difficult. It's better than (miss)understood and A Song for XX for me and it comes with a poster. :D

Of course it is. I'm not gonna go to Japan and sell it for a profit, now am I? OS and Japan both have lossless audio, I'm sure of it.

$27.99 + $0 for shipping. Yesasia, 2 days for my order to be processed (over the weekend) + 10 business days (out of a maximum of 12) to reach my post office.

Since I was so happy to get an actual Ayumi CD, I wouldn't have cared less if the poster would have fallen out of the airplane that was shipping it. :P Although it is another nice thing to look forward to! :)

Thank you for your replies. :love

[EDIT]truehappiness: NOOOO. Ayumi writes everything by herself! :([/EDIT]

moombasista 28th January 2007 11:16 PM

criminal you are like the cutest thing ever to make this thread :bgiggle

It's cool that you finally got your first ayu CD. I still remember my first ayu CD that I got years ago

explodingbird 29th January 2007 01:37 AM

Spiffo. My first Ayu CD ever was RAINBOW, so I know the excitement - the paper was insanely glossy. Lovely. I kept the obi for... maybe weeks, months? Then I realized that thing had no use except collecting dust and being a pain in the butt so I threw it away (obviously, I still have the rest of the packaging).

Everyone remembers their first time with Ayu (especially if they view their order history on YesAsia~).

So, what Ayu album do you think could be next in the future?

LacusClyne 29th January 2007 04:26 AM

yes, criminal, ayu writes the lyrics herself and she composes some songs too.
like the famous 'M' and 'evolution'.

my very first cd was bought in store-RAINBOW.
my first cd that i ordered online was Startin' cd only(from yesasia too!)

Delirium-Zer0 29th January 2007 07:50 AM

Ah, I remember my first ayu cds like it was just yesterday....

December 25th, 2000... I had asked mom for quite a few ayu cds, wasn't sure which one I'd get, but I knew I'd get ONE of them at least... Tiny little box under the tree, I unwrapped it, and it was one of those small cd-sized boxes yesasia shipped with way back in the day (not long after they changed to yesasia.com from asiacd.com... wow that was awhile back)... I peeled off the packaging tape, unfolded the box, and there was the AUDIENCE single! *gasp happiness!* but wait... there was another CD under there... orange spine... what could it be! I moved AUDIENCE out of the way to find ayu-mi-x II version Acoustic Orchestra! OH words could not describe my joy! But the story got even better! My mom tells me "there's one more CD on the way, it was backordered... you should get it soon :)"... and just a few days later, a yesasia package comes in the mail, and imagine my delight when I opened it to see the Japan version of LOVEppears! OH MY GOSH. It was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen... the clear 2-CD jewel case, the 2 discs, the geometric crystalline design, the light blue accents throughout the packaging, the SOUND QUALITY on the CD itself when I played it in my brand-new PS2 (I had a good christmas that year :P) and THEN the goodies on disc two... ah, memories...

Anyway the point of my post is that I TOTALLY know how you feel and it's AWESOME, isn't it? ^__^
