New live DVD/BD 'ARENA TOUR 2012 ~HLS~' March 8, last of five 15th anni. releases

Ok so now we're sure that all this anniversary stuff is a real joke.
Singles+album+remix+dvd... This pattern was something normal 3 years ago (and they didn't trick you into buying "mini albums"). Her team and herself are getting so lazy and noncreative that they sell their crap like something amazing.
It's really time for a break.
And wait for A BEST 3 as the final release.
I'm eager to see what they are planning to do for her 20th anniversary...

Not one month after another even though the releases in general were pretty normal in the past. What were you expecting anyway? Five brand new albums in a row?

People are blowing this out of proportion imo.

Of course I'm aware she wasn't releasing things so fast in the past.
What was I expecting? Something a bit original or surprising to celebrate this anniversary. I really don't care having the same material as usual but within 5 months.
The only interesting thing is A Classical (I don't enjoy it but that's not the problem). The rest is a lame attempt to create a celebration at the last minute while sending thank you messages to the loyal fans.

I'm not blowing it out of proportion. Her marketing team is. I'm also not expecting five albums in a row considering the creativity of her last full albums imo.

I'm happy to watch this live on blu ray anyway.

I would love if she had done the same as european metal band Within Temptation have done in their 15th anniversary too. During 15 weeks, each friday, they covered a song from different artists with different styles (Lana Del Rey, David Guetta, Adele...). They converted each song into their metal style and played on the radio... free. And the day of their anniversary they made a huge and special concert.

I think it's something more special and a real gift for fans than selling 5 consecutives and expensive releases with a poor and ridiculous marketing strategy. We all know Avex only wants money and money and money but... c'mon... Ayu needs to wake up seriously. No offense

No, that would be asking about her 50th anniversary. Would Ayu still look the same on all of her covers for those releases as she does now?

Lol

Although a lot can happen in 5 years, who knows.

Anyway, I'll be getting this too I guess!

yes, the very first one. Although it has been reported that it was changed around the time that the album was announced.

I agree that these releases were a joke... they were disguise into something that to sell. Even 'for the fans' was a joke...
I will say I have enjoyed everything so far, its just the way that they were presented.

Also, this is her last release... there were 5, the DVD (huge joke, no new music what so ever) is the last one.

I would hope they release a SUPER Best or something on her 15 anny

lord, i hope i didnt give her any ideas, lol.

megh, i wanted more music...but i sensed that might be it..*sigh* at least it's not a remix album.
so wor is at this point pretty much done for ayu, unless they ahve something else comming up after that. She might get a bit of a rest now.
