incomplete A COMPLETE

I think they should have included the release date of each single in the small booklets that come with the cd’s and above all, in the booklet, along with the complete tracklist of each single. Definetely, I miss those dates… because this is a compilation of all her singles until now, and to be COMPLETE it should have included that information….

also, the anation performances are NOT COMPLETE!!! hahaha, well, it has very nice performances, but it would be nice if they have included the whole Ayu part. There is a HANABI performance which was awesome… and it’s missing here

do you agree?

I agree that the release dates for each single should have been printed on the lyrics booklet. That's what they did for Do as Infinity's compilation. But i don't think including the listing of all the tracks is a good idea. It's kind of weird especially since it's not included in A Complete and for people like me who focus mainly on original versions, i really don't care much for the remixes

I feel that the limited TA tour thing was kinda unnecessary. I would prefer if they took out the TA tour to make space in the DVD for all the a-nation performances to date. Would it last roughly 2 hours? But that would put off those who bought a-nation DVDs...

"A (UN)COMPLETE" is, well, uncomplete. The tracklist, a-nation performances, TA tour. As for the songs, they should have had included at least all A-sides. B-sides could have been left out, whether they made it on an album or not.

1) to have all the tracklist of all 43 singles in the booklet, we might as well have 43 physical copies of the singles to make it A COMPLETE. LOL..

2) only never before released a-nation performances were released. i do agree that its good to have a DVD without TA limited live tour, and include ALL ayu's a-nation's performances. But, the producers didnt wanna do so.. So there is nothing we can do.

3) and in view of point number 2, the producers realised that they didnt have enough "videos" to make it into a DVD, so they dug out old records and found out that the TA Limited Live tour was never released in DVD before. So they might as well include that in as well.

and hence there comes the product of A Complete.

1. there should be A SONG IS BORN and together when
2. to be honest i dont really think the date is neccesary
3. singles with 4A or 3A sides should be contained full tracklist, (oh i love & so much, but wtf, they put the least song from my favourite! and lol no traumma? thats funny)
4. the DVD contain is okay, but i hope to see more live video from her. maybe from her debut's era? and also, i think CM will be a great idea too!

One song I'm really missing is Together When. But it doesn't count as a physical single, so, oh well. : /

And I was REALLY looking forward to monochrome from AN07 and HANABI from AN06. D:

Uh.. I'm glad we got the limited TA tour on dvd so I'm not complaining. Regarding the cd part, I think the linear notes for each song should have been included. Anything else would just be fluff.

i don't really miss the dates, but it wouldn't hurt to have them.
and i agree that they could have put the whole Ayu part on A-nation but hey it doesn't matter, i like it the way it is too^^

I'm glad the Limited Team Ayu Tour was included, but I really wish it were there in its entirety. As it stands, the only way to obtain the entire original is by downloading the mehtastic-quality version that's on the web.

Uh yeah it's incomplete. I sure didn't buy it. I don't have a bunch of munny to spend on nothing.

It just was not appealing at all.

They should have included more really unavailable stuff and just made it more expensive. Would have made it a lot more special as well.

I mean...I was actually disappointed for Ayu's 10th. I think they should have done bigger things. And I think A COMPLETE had potential to be really awesome...but it feels like it's just another release for them, and for us.

No I don't agree, I am pretty satisfied with my A COMPLETE purchase, even if it was $65 dollars after express shipping. Had about a month or so to pre-order it. I read what was in the package and I knew what to expect. I understand if people can be disappointed in something they buy but they clearly wrote what would be in the package, UNRELEASED footage of a-nation performances not all her a-nation performances.

And I don't get what the fuss about dates is all about, unless you are writing a biography on ayu's musical career. I don't even think the most hardcore ayu fans have memorized the release date of all her singles/albums. I think its a little too much that "not displaying the release dates of each single" is one of the reasons why this is an incomplete A COMPLETE.

Right, it wouldn't have been financially feasible to include all of her a-nation performances, they would've had to use so many DVDs it would've become insanely expensive and no one would buy it. I thought the unreleased performances idea was great.

They should of made another edition with the PV's. Even though that would defeat the purpose of A Clips? i dunno what it was called. I saw it in japan for $30 lawl

^ Yeah, but not all singles had PVs. And some would be missing for the "single" purpose.

I am overall satisfied with the product. But, I don't know. It just seemed like the DVD part was so short. Or maybe, I watched it too fast... I would have liked more performances included, but eh, what are you going to do?

i'm perfectly fine with TA live on the dvd, since i liked it and prefer to own it in better quality, i'm quite contnt with the dvd.

As for the release date of her previous singles, that would be nice, to have a direct record list. Coz her rlease dats wre actually printd on the singles' obi, and Fly High and kanariya does not have a obi, so it does irks me to peek at the date on the tranlucent sheet(it's not so easy to read there)

even the TA limited tour was incomplete!

at least they left a song for xx, surreal, and rainbow!

or i would of killed them xDDD



when i watched the dvd for first time... i was soo disappointed when i noticed that the a-nation concerts were jumping songs all the time, like going from one song to another, even that she didn't sing them in that order, or that the dvd jumps from a-nation to a-nation just like that



a complete was incomplete for me too... but I think it was fair enough


the dvd was nothing else than a big bait
