[News] ～A BEST LIVE～ DVD/BD on 2013.10.30 + Live CD on 2013.9.18

[BlackSilence]

^ i kinda agree with you here, i mean sure as a concert RnRC was way more fancy than the BEST OF one, but then again, she was promoting an album, and A BEST LIVE was directly linked to fans. she had new stuff comming out even tho some fishi marketing was included, she made colaborations with various products, and has been giving more mag apparences than before, so it is a celebration mainly focusing on fans. i could even say japanese fans. Cuz most of the songs she sang were basicly her old classics. Now it might be a missed opportunity for gradioze stuff, and the DVD of the tour was meant to be released anyways, they could have incuded all the tracks but decided not to. People here seem to have expectations that obviously are way too off from Avex's marketing plan, and people get mad because they don't get what they imagined they would. But really this whole thing had so little promotion and extravagantic stuff because she clearly seemed to be focusing on her loyal fanbase who would know what's going on even with no promotion at all, rather than general public.

I think she doesn't do something like 10th anniversary releasing something like A COMPLETE. But she do something different with this 5 consecutive releases. And thinkin in the fact that Party Queen was a release like FEEL, an album without 4 previous singles, I think is good for ayumi. But I hope she release new material with powerful dance and rock songs, and maybe with the old style on the first albums.

And don't forget that she will release so fast the arena tour 15th anniversary and one live cd too. So I think that this is a great anniversary.

And of course I understand that people want all the encore on the DVD because is something ''special'' in a way.

[microphone]

I'm very satisfied with Song 4 u and its PV so I can forgive the lackluster anniversary release. For you yeah yeah yeah!

Maybe she'll come out with new songs early next year. I believe she is still recording, no? Even if she decides to stop her music career she's got so much material for us to go back to.

[alternarist]

I do find her anniversary tour similar to AT2008. Nothing really WOWing (based on pics only). But I have yet to seen the concert yet, so i am refraining from further making conclusions..

I am pretty sure later this year, there will be more releases.. who knows April 2014, we will have one more brand new album to wrap things up! Let's be optimistic guys! It's ayu's a-nation period!

she sounded a bit strange (kinda screaming too much) in M, though No way to say was really great ^^

Thank you very much!
Even if the audio is LQ, it almost sounds like an edited version from a dvd!
Some parts are off and so on but god, those years when she couldn't sing properly seem very far!
I hope she will continue to improve even if I'm already proud of her (at least something ayu-related I'm enjoying lately...)

So what are the bonuses (or 'is the bonus') for the DVD/Bluray, if any?

Still can't forgive the fact that she cut off SAKURA... Best song on the LOVE again album and well, one of the best performances in the show. Is this gonna be the new trend of Ayu? She cuts off the biggest performance of the tour? Like RR.

I remember her saying on the first day something like "The wires didn't work out properly so I got a bit confuced, haha, please do come and see it again so you can see it work out smoothly." All that fuss for not being in the DVD? Not okay... Grr... Moarw......

so you cant forgive ayumi for cutting a song which was too personal for her after a friend died? And you can also see why she would be more inclined to remove Return Road too with the nature of the song and what inspired the lyrics. Every time she would have to sign it, it would only bring the emotions of when she wrote them and shes been wanting to move forwards since all this bad press

[hayasaki]

OMG!!! Flawless!!! I fell inlove with the emotions in Teddy Bear.

[ayu-michan]

it sounds perfect in every wayyyyy

[Yoshiaki]

Wow!!
The previews are really awesome!!
It is an album full of emotions!!

[~angel*ayumi~]

Love the previews^^

Hereb pics of the mu-mo/TA extras

[Zeke.]

I get this "polished" feeling on the vocals too, as they were processed quite a bit. But, JEWEL is stunning. I had lost all hope that by the time she chose to perform that song on tour, she'd never be able to do it justice.
