Ayu's full videos pulled out from Avex's Youtube account

[Taishaku]

I was looking for the SURREAL video and then I noticed that all her videos are offline!
There's only the short versions from her official page
I know Avex is the ultimate definition of greed, but is there a reason why they did this?

Edit: Today, all of her videos have been added to her official Youtube channel!

What??
It was so nice to have high quality full videos available. Hopefully avex has something better in the works.

[BlackSilence]

Oh wow, i was just watching full on videos yesterday...*sigh*

[minkAYuko]

They either gonna release a new compilation... OR/AND they are now available for the paidd subscription on youtube.

[EndOfTheWorld]

Ayu started uploading the full versions to her youtube account.
We got the Distance Love project joined together now. She also uploaded Bold & Delicious -SIDE STORY-(album version) and M (Above & Beyond remix), were those on the avex account too? I can't remember.

It seems that they are re-uploading full versions of her music videos.
The question is how long will they stay there before they pull them down again

But does this have to do with YouTube Premium?

Barks wrote that more than 130 full PVs of Ayu has been uploaded via https://www.youtube.com/user/ayu/videos in line with today being her birthday

I think that's a good thing then in future whoever want to watch Ayu's full PVs online can now just do that easily via YouTube

A lot of drama over nothing

[freedreamer]

[Taishaku]

Ohh, those are great news!!!
I was probably checking both channels at the time they were doing this.

we thought they weren't coming back. and they were 1080p (aka A COMPLETE BOX uploads) on avex's channel, now they're 480p. and I didn't see "a lot" of drama? lol

[surrealA]

whos on Ayu PV marathon? -handsup-
what a way to celebrate Ayu's birthday!

[minkAYuko]

OMG they uploaded M (above & beyond) I'm glad they acknowledge it <3

[EndOfTheWorld]

I do like that her videos are on her own account now because I feel like it's easier that way. They won't get lost in avex's hundreds of uploads now. But the downgrade to 480p is sad. Why? Removing videos and replacing them with lower resolution video is ridiculous.

Uggh, this doesn't make sense... were they all (even poker face etc.) HQ before? Not only new ones, like Lady Dynamite or so?

They were all in 1080p before, all the way back to poker face. Now only recent videos are HD it seems.

[minkAYuko]

Because they still want people to buy her compilations, this is just a tease for the HQ thing in the disc I guess ?. But it sucks, same thing happened to Perfume's videos they were uploaded in Low resolution. This is not youtube from 2006 :/

And here I was looking forward to replacing the few videos I still only have in 720p for the 1080p versions. I don't understand business decisions like these (and I'm sure that's all this is)

The business decision here is making sure people still need to buy the HD videos if they want them.
