Would you buy repackages of Ayu's albums?

[Gustavopc]

If I had already bought the "original" album, probably not, just if the shoot was better and had really amazing new songs

[YUKARI]

depends on an album.

but probably not, not now.

At least in the US they wait a year or so, lol.

Kpop is like, the next day.

[Kanzaki]

No.

[PinkShinigami]

Well, I haven't bought any of her items for a long time because of money. But if I had money, then I think this would be as high on my list as any album; so if i would buy the new album if she released one now, then I would probably buy the repackage if she released one now instead of an album.

[JackieRos]

sorry but hell no

[Aditmi Krisnasaki ~II~]

what? and wasting my money to buy something I've already had? NEVER..

[truehappiness]

It's a stupid tactic to try and get people to re-buy an album that they already own. It's best to wait until the 'repackage' comes out since usually it's a better release. I'm glad Japan doesn't really resort to doing this and instead releases complete albums the first time around.

I know this happens a lot in Taiwan and the original albums are basically like 'beta' releases and the repackages are more worth it since they have the entire album plus some new songs and PVs/MVs for many of the tracks.

[elaniel]

I would buy it again, but not be happy about it.
If maybe they re-released it at a slightly lower cost, that would be good.

An album should be re-released if there's a genuinely good reason to. It's not a good reason to hold back songs so you can re-release the album a few months later on purpose.

To be honest though, instead of re-releasing an album with 3-5 more tracks, why not just release it as a mini-album with maybe some tracks that didn't make the original album cut? Surely you'd get more sales from a new mini album than a re-release that a majority of people will not buy as they already own a copy of the album.

[ayuPanda]

For me,
mh...I think its just a korean thing lol...because Love Songs is a great album and a big one too...
Maybe I would buy a repackage album of five :/ if a song like BRILLANTE the new one xD

[KarenPang]

No way man , it's simply a sly way for record labels to try means & manners to boost sales of a single if not an album

I seldom see this happening in the jpop market but in the Taiwanese market , man it's quite common & seriously , getting your album repackaged a whooping 8 times , that's really hard for me to swallow

With that said , I suppose I will get repackaged editions of ayumi's albums if not for the fact that I have all her studio & best albums :O

If I don't have any of them , sure why not ?

[ayunation]

maybe like a fake album i saw anywhere...

with 1st CD the Complete Love Songs Album
and maybe the 2nd CD the FIVE Minialbum and Dream ON
i don't know if both DVD's+Dream ON (clip+making) can sat on 1 DVD?
and on the 2nd disc, i would prefer 1 or 2 new songs + Party Queen/Happening Here/How Beautiful You Are

and yes, i would buy an album like this xD

[emi♡]

idk...if it came with a new album maybe

and the album was good, not something like Five.

but that wouldn't be like this I guess. So no.

[sesshy]

Never seen the point of repackages other than making more money off of it. So no.

[spanishfan]

I would not buy again an album wich have been released 3-6 month before...

But I'd love to have her first albums resung (and/or new arragments) with new cover and one or two new PVs for the songs without video.
In 10th anniversary I hoped she made more 10th anniversary songs for an album with her old stuff.

[JustLovely]

Yes. Money-sucking, it is, but yes, I would.

[Jason]

I don't think I would.

FIVE was re-released on CD+Blu Ray only a short while after it originally came out. It didn't have anything new in it so I didn't see it being worthwhile.

I'd only buy repackages if it contained a LOT of new stuff (alternative takes, demo tracks etc) because even if a repackage only had 1 or 2 new songs I would honestly just download them :/ I've spent enough money getting all her albums/DVD's as it is

[yoshino]

I dun like repackages like what Kpop releases are doing. If Ayu were to do that too, this just means for me that I'll have to wait even longer for the repackage edition to arrive as I would only want to buy one version of her release. It's too expensive for me to get different versions of the same album.

I love additional items such as a photobook along with the album but repackages of the same album just does not interest me. Buying compilation albums is more than enough!! haha.

[SunshineSlayer]

Absolutely not. It's just a marketing trick. Those things aren't actually "extra" they are just stuff that would be held back to simply cash in later on.
