Not sure if this can be classified as "news" per-se so mods are free to move this thread.

[Obtained from ASCII, here's a rough translation]

Newsflash! Ayumi Hamasaki taking initiative! Birthday party in SL AVEX presents fan with a new song distribution by limitation today!
20:08 on October 02, 2007

From 20:00 on the 2nd of October, Ayumi Hamasaki Birthday Party is held on the AVEX island within [Second Life]. (There's dancing for the time being with Ayumi Hamasaki). AVEX consents to distribution for the fan community of two songs and one new song. This is limited to today only. Isn't it a first in the domestic market that a domestic major artist passes music officially in SL? (Includes a photograph and a continuation)

According to melting dot, which is in charge of the management, Mr Oka claims that the Ayumi Hamasaki fan community can lead a second life and celebrate this event. Melting dot supports musical piece distribution.

By the Mali El vice-chief editor and CHIJI of SL Style Magazine, have danced together there.

^^ Fans have been giving presents and Mr.Oka says it seems to be quite busy.

So for us to get the "new" song, we had to have been at the party???

Sounds cool..
but I don't get this~
what the hell is now avex Island?
and what has ayu to do with it?
*my english seems not good enough for this~*

What?! I'm completely confused, and the translation didn't help at all. I have no idea..

Seems so. Guess avex is trying yet another "creative" marketing technique.

From what I gathered "Second Life" is some simulation game like Sims but it's online.

i ddin't understand at all...but nvm :D

Hmmm....that's what suspected! But isn't kinda, well, stupid on Avex part. I mean, why don't they just make it a tie-in for the game or somethin'...but wait, it's limited too??? Okay, let me stop thinking so hard.:headache It's quite dangerous for Avex to try to do a new marketing technique especially in Ayu's case. They should try it for BoA or alan...you know, newcomers or artist with low sells.

That's what i think too~
no new marketing methods..
of course hey want people to get in this game..
but i don't think ayu fans will pay for the game just to get the new single..
let's see~

noo..the game is free actually
just go to www.secondlife.com

Yeah it is free but I wonder what is making them take these experimental stuff on Ayu. It's not exactly wise.

ahh, i don't really understand this either..

Im so confused. And who does second life anyway? Ok, if it was some fanmade thing, but avex officially? Seems kinda.. lame.

Maybe the game makers and Avex see that they can prolly make an profit from Ayu....but in order that for that to even seem valuable is if ayu....did a Trance song for the game. I can imagine any other genre for a song to fit The Sims game.

so is there a new song that not to be realese???

^Yea.....it seems that way. It was limited, soooo.....You more than likely had to have been at the party or whatever to obtain it or get more exclusive info on it!

hmmm don't relli understand, but i want to play the game too lol~

What the...? I'm not sure if I like that idea...

I so wish I could be at that part >.>

what is it?

It's a party with ayu's songs for her birthday that was on that place of avex trax called "avex island" and most likely ayu sang 3 of her songs there and one of them was new while the fans danced xD
I so wish I could be there!!!
