Her earliest PV dates from 1998, there are movies being release in blu that date as early as 1920 and they got remastered and look good (given the source).
Let's be patient and wait to see what avex will tell us. I'm going for full hd on all PVs but if you don't have such faith, wait and see.

Well it's obvious that the SD will be at least upscaled. But I wouldn't put it past avex to release this even if the majority were just upscaled and not actually mastered in HD. We just can't know which sources exist, which sources were used and how they were edited until it's actually out and I doubt they'll put as much work into it as in remastering or even restoring a major movie for bluray.

^ I just don't hope that they'll put black boxes above and beneath the video . (Many of my HD movies I have home -and on my pc- are like that).

Some of them will have it, from the top of my head, the first you'll see like that is LOVE ~Destiny~. It's just the way the director's intended them to be. Some will be 4:3, some 14:9, some 16:9 and so on, there are quite some weird aspect ratios in ayu's videos.

I really want more info on this! Speculation is annoying and usually wrong lol

I know, right? But with this it's certain, the original aspect ratios are going to be kept, no doubt about it.

I hope you're right! =] but if you are an avid bluray collector like me you know a lot of distributors just upscale it and call it a bluray just to make more $$$ but I hope you're right

I am a collector as well, but I have some faith in this release. I won't buy it until I know more specs and the final tracklist though.

If the aspect ratio of any video is different than 16:9 it will be letterboxed to fit the current 16:9 standard. I rather see that than cropping or stretching.

but since i was interested in the LE, it could be gone by who knows when the specs come out confidently.. thus i preorderd w/ the nice price w/ amazonjp (thanks to people pointing out amazonjp as a option) and can i think, hope to cancel the preorder if needed.

[yukito]

Of course you can cancel your order, if it's not worth it, just cancel.

[brener]

i hope we'll have a TV-CM soon!!

[adantatu2]

Seeing the last releases of ayu, you could expect a cm one day before the release data XD

[RayJason]

^ Or even after; remember ayu-mi-x 7 Youtube Commercial's ? XD

[truehappiness]

Imagine a TV-CM with a small clip of all 100 PVs, lol.
