[scans] Chinese OS versions

[orangeland]

heheh i don't post very often (or at all) so sorry if this is in the wrong forum!

just go back from china about a week ago and bought some ayu cds. thought you guys might want to see the changes that avex asia has made to ayu cds there!

btw - these are aren't fake! they're licensed to be distributed in china by avex asia and distributed by CRSC (china record shanghai corp).

LOVEppears album
Info: this only comes as a one cd set (CD 1 of japan ver) and doesn't come w/ a poster
front cover:

back cover:

disc: (crappy-looking compared to the japan ver IMO)


Duty album
front cover:

disc:


most of the other cds released don't look much different from the original ver. except "I am..." whose booklet pages have been put in the wrong order -___-
okay hope that was interesting for you! i have more so if you want to see just ask.

[the3ye]

interesting... are you sure these are original?

[denadel]

That's cool
Ive never seen chinese covers before. Thanks for sharing

[BanFan]

Aren't those bootlegs? ><;

Hmm...*checks some bootleg page*

Edit:Hm...I guess they are real...

[MsMiyabi]

I love the Duty Cd Color and no there are not bootlegs.

[Corybobory]

I see Ayu's belly!!

I find it interesting that Avex Asia issues (sort of) different packaging for Taiwan, China, and HK. The CD's from Taiwan look exactly the same as the Japanese ones.

>_< I always prefer Japanese versions. The pics above.. even if they're licensed, those logos and fonts just spoil it.

yes i agree and i also rather japanese writing on it instead of chinese, japanese writing just makes it look rare and original

you have to bear in mind that in fact HK versions are the rarest out of HK, TW and JP versions. if you think JP versions are 'rare', you should remember that in fact JP versions are pressed the most, followed by TW and then HK versions.

And "I am..." Overseas Version has the pages not in the right order? That's the one i have.. makes me wanna buy the Japan version now.................

[~Matt~]

thanks for posting, they're really cute
do you have more chinese ayu CDs??

[orangeland]

okay i'll post some more up, but only those that look only a tad different. like i said, other than some few, mostly all of them look like japanese ver. cds.

I am...

CD:



btw, i agree w/ you guys - japanese ver. cds DO look better. i actually could have bought most of these at narita airport, but i didn't. why? chinese OS ver. albums only cost approx. $7.25 USD each and chinese OS ver. singles only cost approx $4.75 USD each. in total, i bought 8 albums and 4 singles. guess how much all of it cost? $77 USD as opposed to the nearly $250 USD i would have spent in narita. either way, i would have supported ayu by buying legit CDs, so why not support her and not give my wallet a heart attack at the same time? that's my two cents heheh if you're wondering i did wind up buying my story classical and step you/is this love at narita b/c neither has been released in china yet ><. even those 2 cds cost over half of what i paid for 12 cds (approx $43 USD).

btw, i didn't scan all of them b/c i have to go out soon but i also have these that i can scan later:

A BEST
Moments
INSPIRE/GAME
Carols
RAINBOW
MY STORY

[Gunblitze]

neat , ive never seen the chinese versions

[~Matt~]

they're cool

[Euroboy]

thanks that's awesome... i have the "I am..." OS version album... but the pages aren't messed up... i guess it was only on a few booklets.. haha! That's actually pretty funny. They'll probably end up costing a lot of money in the future. keep it safe and protected.

There are a few different OS versions, so you may not have a CD from the same batch/printing factory.
