Fortunately I ordered before the restriction happened, so this only appiles to new orders. But I'm disappointed how this export ban is affecting Blu-ray or DVD releases of Avex music artists, not just anime... (Ayaka publishes via Avex, just to let you know.)

I'm not sure how this will affect my future Ayaka Blu-ray orders in the future or anyone trying to order up any DVD/Blu-ray involving an Avex artist, e.g. Ayu or Koda Kumi... (At least it's not affecting my 'Kotonoha' single, but still this is concerning to us fans of Avex artists such as Ayu or Kuu trying to buy new Blu-rays/DVDs...)

Spoiler:

(But is this export ban as bad as the recent electronics ban [e.g. laptops, tablens] for flying certain flights to/from the Middle East, e.g. USA? Hmm...)

Oh no no no! *palms on face*


EDIT: Question ~> does this ban restricted to Tenso as well?
