The vocals for the Made in Japan concert really are rough, eh? The vocal editing where they've dubbed or cut her mic is pretty evident than any other concert too.

Most likely profiteering from boredoom.

[truehappiness]

Ads are sort of a given on YouTube, but they probably don't really make anything from them. I've seen that labels mostly get money from official subscriptions to like YouTube Premium as opposed to per video like with most content creators.

I don't recall ever seeing scans of the Super Ayu photobook? Was it ever for sale? I vaguely remember seeing one and she was wearing a crown... but my memory is fuzzy lol

[ExodusUK]

^ IIRC there are two different Super Ayu books..the one shot mostly (the right cover) in London def has scans floating around


The left cover mostly has photos that look like FIVE outtakes where as the right version is more Party Queen era? The whole thing is really confusing because I think there is an even a third version that was a lottery prize that could be won at Power of Music venues?

We need an Ayumi Hamasaki wiki for all this stuff because the second this forum goes down for good, a wealth of 20 years of Ayumi Hamasaki history will go down with it too ��

[~angel*ayumi~]

The left one is prize that could be only won at AT12 venue

[Aderianu]

Left is with Party Queen album photoshoot in the black underwear and I saw only few pictures from it
right is with Party Queen with crown and huge violet skirt, like hbya single cover. There are full scans somewhere

The one that was eventually a tour good was a scrapped photobook that was supposed to go with Party Queen the album back when the concept was still the same as the how beautiful you are shoot. It was teased in February so in the two months before release, they scrapped that shoot.

From TeamAyu:
3月21日、13th ALBUM『Party Queen』を記念したスペシャル写真集発売決定！

13th ALBUM『Party Queen』を記念したスペシャル写真集を3月21日に発売することが決定しました。
この写真集でしか見れないスペシャルカットは必見です！
※詳細決定次第、追加発表致します。

Can someone translate please? Is it just album info?

This essentially says that they will release a special commemorative photobook on March 21st, the same day as the album. This photobook will have photos from the album shoot that were cut from what is featured in the album. More details are to come.

The message is also on the main website as well.

I see the limited 'giveaway' one usually go for like 400-700USD. It seems a bit sizable too given the book's thickness you can see in most pictures like when Mannie got his copy.

About the dancers discussion: I like them BECAUSE they are not just dancers. They are also actors/performers in some extent and many of them are really really good doing that. For Ayu's purpose (doing a grand show, Las Vegas-esque), I think they are really, really great and with a solid stage presence.

[kaled kalil]

I just can't see these books without remember Super Manuel. I have such a hard time picturing Ayu feeling enticed by her husband in a**less underwear.... lol

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I haven’t thought about Super Manuel in a very long time lol. I can’t believe it’s been 9 years?!

[~angel*ayumi~]

here is a size comparison of the 2 SUPER Ayu books

lol I wanted to say it resembled GAME era ayu but then I found out this was recorded in 2002 so it was before GAME. haha

but it's funny how she does all these movements ayu always did. like she forces herself to move like this while ayu does everything naturally.

Wow so many upcoming concerts premiering on YouTube! Makes me so happy, can't wait!

Would be nice if they add CDL 2001-2002 where M was only at TV version. And CDL 2016-2017 still not released?

[surrealA]

What time will the dorama be premiering tomorrow?

Feeling very nostalgic with all these past concerts
Although some of the concerts are more than 10 yrs old they're still better than some concerts of other artists nowadays.

[hud]

excited for the new concerts uploads! I hope STADIUM TOUR is in HD.

a little throwback now, who remembers this one?
