You don't need 4 versions of the same single at the same time. It's really that simple, lol.

More than likely, if the fans would stop buying the different versions, Avex would stop trying to suck money out of us. Either that, or offer more incentives than just different covers and a few remixes. But we keep giving them money so they'll keep on doing it.

How to buy from japan iTunes? I tried that, but they say my credit card is only for Singapore iTunes shops.

And anyway, I prefer owning the physical copies, especially when it comes to my favorite songs. It's not just the contents, sometimes it's the covers that are too pretty to ignore.
It's impossible that people will stop buying all versions, there are plenty of die hard fans, especially in Japan who will buy at least 2 of the SAME copy, one to listen, one to collect(keeping it sealed)! That will be 8 copies in total. There are members in AyuChina, who are living in japan who do that.

Yeah, I understand the physical copies part. Nothing beats having an album in your hands in my opinion. But if money's really that tight, I think it's wise just to settle on one or two versions (for the moment) so you have enough money left to support other J-artists as well. I love Ayu but I can't spend all my money on her when I'm a fan of other artists that have new releases, too. lol That's just my opinion.

Yeah, with the die hard collectors, they're going to buy multiple copies whether there's a bunch of a different versions or not. lol

For the J-Itunes problem this site: http://www.jbox.com/PRODUCT/ITUNESCARD

They sell Japanese itunes cards and explain how to use them. Hope you have good luck.
