PRE-RELEASE INVASION !!!

They always had good advertising, but this time its simply amazing !! Shibuya is FULL of Ads and Campaigns. I went to TowerRecords (cause I also wanted to get the CD-Data and other stuff) and - similar to Tsutaya, HMV and so on -
they had screaming Campaigngirls in front of the shop, big screens with super loud videos of her and a big gadget collection (super-twinkle-logo-badges, posters, and more).

I went in and bought the white dvd version - my super-ayu-addicted phase is finally over, so Im able to buy only one version ;)))) - and got some kind of campaign-coupon
instead of a poster from the counterguy. Argh, so I had to go in front of the shop, to this super mad area where are the people came by.... this black and white card (that this chinese shop gave their customers) was part of a lottery system : on the card was the price written, but it was also possible to draw a blank.

However, I won - the campaigngirl screamed into her microphone and ringed a suuuuuuuuper huge loud bell (DAAANG DANG DANG !!! " YEEAAAYYY WE HAVE A WINNER !!!!!" - all the crowd suddenly stopped and watched) and asked me what poster-version I wanted to have (I picked the white one). I asked her if I can have the card too, but she said that they all have to be "destroyed" after usage.

So it was great, I had a lot of fun buying it :)

Here are some pictures of the pre-release :

Thanks =333

I want to see the Shibuya 109 *-*

Yep the SHibuya 109 is one of the things that can be seen very often ^^
i hope there's the White CD+2DVD pic ^^

her name's not even on it.. I guess EVERYONE in Japan knows her and her logo, so it's not necessary. I'm really curious how much A BEST 2 is gonna sell. I hope both versions can hit #1 in the weekly charts (either they should be counted together or Black should top first, and white in the second week :p)

Yeah!
A BEST 2 must get a GREAT sales.

I want banner from Shibuya 109!

Rody! You are right, Ayu is so famous is Japan, everyone knows her and her logo. So it's not necessary to have "ayumi hamasaki" on the banners.

cool, thanks for those pics.

Wow, nice pic :)

Please post more!

Ooo, cool! Thanks for sharing the pic!

very cool. thanks for sharing!!

please please upload the original versions of the photos if you can!!!

thank you thank you!! :D

I'd so climb up there and pull one down.

Then spend the rest of my life scanning it.

too bad I was in Shibuya yesterday, I did not take a look to the 109 building :(
I was so close, I don't want to go there, just to see the posters ^^

I saw similar ads in the metro station and near the Takashimaya in Shinjuku(department store)
I don7t have a camera yet :'(

uber cool

I have a question, usually the album is released 1 day before the official release, isn't it ? or can I find it from today ?

thanks for sharing...took more pics about A best 2 promotion...i love to see the city view with ayu pics in there...its really cool for me...

ayu's A BEST 2 BLACK covers on the shibuya looks pretty weird.
coz the building is the round shape..so kinda weird..haha :D

ou!! there's also 2 in hyakuman bolto one for LUMIXFX30 and one for A BEST 2 in the music section of the store

there's a poster in tsutaya!! yiiii!

there's one in the fukuchiyama no eki

i agree with AyuMix..her face is distorted...coz of the roundness..haha
