And I think they're selling it at er.. $26.95 at CD-RAMA?? I forgot the exact price but I got my copy there.

[KarenPang]

If I didn't paid extra for a poster tube , I paid about 2 bucks cheaper or so with regards to my Taiwan press CD + DVD copy of LOVE again that I bought via 5music x)

[yoshino]

oh, so is CD+DVD only without photobook or poster at all?

The photobook is only available in both LEs of the album that came with the ayupan figurine

both avex Taiwan + Hong Kong did not made the LEs, just the normal CD only & cd+dvd

poster wise Japan press do not give it but I know you can buy the poster separately from YesAsia

I remember seeing LOVE, again, and LOVE again at Jurong Point's CD-RAMA. LOVE again costs $25.95, again (re-priced I believe, original price $26.95 when it first came out) costs $18.95, but LOVE remains at the original price of $26.95.

If it really isn't supposed to be re-priced, it's pretty absurd don't you think? $26.95 for a glorified single and a full-length album is a dollar cheaper. Not to mention A Classical and A SUMMER BEST (2CD) costs $24.95 each.

Because avex label and sells it at album price.
But... I bought at $26.... for the poster...

[yoshino]

Thanks for the info, guyz. I bought my copy at HMV since it's more convenient for me.

Anyway, how does the poster look like? Is it same as the album cover pict?

[KarenPang]

The poster should look something like this ?

Turns out, the $18.95 copy of again at CD-RAMA is actually the CD Only version Taiwan press if anyone's interested. CD+DVD version of again is $22.95, which is still cheaper than LOVE, even has more tracks than that!

I still find it ridiculous that LOVE is more expensive than LOVE again. Mini-album more expensive than a full-length album. No logic.

[KarenPang]

Exactly , it makes 0 sense to me that a mini album (disguised as a single) would cost more than a studio album . There's really no logic to this in any single bit

[yoshino]

Thanks for showing the poster. but I think I would prefer poster with no words, just an Ayu picture on my wall. But seems like most posters are those showing other versions, tracklist for promotion purpose. :/

I just saw LOVE again CD version selling at $19.90 Taiwan version at HMV today!!!

Wonder why they import from different countries?

that's because most if not all CD only's aspects of her stuff are not made by avex Hong Kong

avex Taiwan is probably the only 1 that made all editions of her stuff . avex Hong Kong usually only makes the CD + DVD

[yoshino]

Oh Hong Kong only make one version? Then is just like what Warner music Singapore did the last time right. Tats not very nice. Haha.

Nah avex HK do have the CD only versions. But just that Singapore doesn't import them the last time. No idea why they would do so now. Esp when the JPOP sales are so low now...

[KarenPang]

avex Hong Kong do make CD only's of her stuff (selective & not sure why so) but they're not like avex Taiwan that makes all of them for both her singles & albums

If you see http://www.avexasia.com/products.php...1303&type=8604 , it contains the breakdown details of her material

AVJ - the 1st 3 alphabets for avex Taiwan's catalogue no.
AAJ - the 1st 3 alphabets for for avex Taiwan's catalogue no. . The old format used to be AVT before it got changed to AAJ

[KarenPang]

I was at CD-Rama earlier on & I saw the Taiwan press / CD only being sold

S$18.95 is what CD-Rama charged for it

[Meshal]

is ayu famous in Singapore

[jiarongisme]

^ Not so sure about now, but I'm pretty sure she's a household name in Singaporean homes by now. She was the reigning queen during the J-Pop boom in Singapore back in the early 2000's. But regarding sales, I don't think as much.
