I wish the new material would just show up under Ayumi's own little section in the U.S. iTunes store (and I plan on "re"-buying them then to show iTunes they should get more Ayu in the store) but they add her stuff so slowly. They don't even have MOON/blossom yet.

They were late to the party for NEXT LEVEL, and even later still for Sunrise/Sunset, which they didn't even put on her artist page, initially. Here we have yet to see any releases since. It's counterproductive.

I haven't bought them yet, due to yours and Stacey's points. (Although, the bulk of my Ayu library comes from the US iTunes, as their selection is vast, in spite of being incomplete).

Likewise. When you said so on Twitter, I stopped because it hadn't occurred to me. Can't we just tweet Avex? I'm sure it would get lost in the flood to directly tweet Ayu. It looks very abnormal.

I emailed iTunes Support at iTunesStoreSupport@apple.com - you should too! I mentioned the odd compilation albums and also requested they start adding the new material asap.

There's also an official requests page they have, all of us in the U.S. here should fill out.

Virgin Road PV is epic as I thought. And omg Sweet Season, what an adorable PV although I'm shocked by the end. Shocked in a good way tho

But, I'm so disappointed by crossroad (orchestra version) :| terribly boring and bland.
SEVEN DAYS WAR (orchestra version) and the TK Piano ver. are slightly better, but pretty unnecessary in my opinion.
I wonder if she will put SDW on her new album with all these remixes. I don't know if she had remixes for b-sides too.
And I'm hope not :/ I rather a new song than a cover.

I'm sure she'll add it to the new album if she's giving the song remix attention.

lol I just found "crossroad" hidden on some weird J-pop compilation album on US iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/sig...on/id394887155

It looks pretty shady, though. It features a bunch of different artists from different labels, and is copyright "Jennifer Connell?" uh.... The other album contains the instrumental version of "crossroad", as well as a b-side from Kuu's new single, Utada's "Eternally" (can't tell if it's the super-old or just the year-old one) and a song simply titled "Final Fantasy VII - No Name." iTunes bootlegs?

"ever free" had its share of remixes, too.

Granted, "ever free" remixes weren't foregrounded like the "SEVEN DAYS WAR" remixes are, and her release schedule is different now, but I'm still reluctant to say remixes = guaranteed album placement.

[joshohhhhh]

^^ if that were to occur, would it be the first time ayu had a cover song on a studio album?

[dreamland2.0]

^
^Yah like Will was a b-side and it had a remix and was on the album.

I really like Seven Days War. It's a nice song! The piano ver. was nice.

I love SEVEN DAYS WAR much much more with the Orchestra version. crossroad's Orchestra is quite awkward to me..the music IS beautiful but maybe its because I love love LOVE the original so much. suddenly this beat is missing

[yamadashun]

crossroad orchestra sounds weird. SDW orchestra is better :-)

but MOON and blossom orchestra are still the best!! especially MOON orchestra!!

Something about those that bought all three singles can download wallpapers and screensavers of previously unpublished photos or something I think.
