Oh relmy should update the Participants/interested/names list with new users that brought entries yesterday/today and onwards when possible. =D

I wonder if the book will have over 100 pages! lol

ayu will be so happy.
I really hope that if it will be given to her at least someone can take a photo of her holding the book

She should wave it. =D

[Suteisi]

CHECK THE 1ST PAGE FOR INFO!!

I believe you have until Sunday to send your page to TickTock.

[zoomzoom]

If people want a pdf file with the whole book in it and ticktock can't make it, I could easily do it. All you need is Acrobat Pro.

[polka-dot-jewel]

I informed an Ayu comm on LJ about this project, so hopefully some of them will be able to send their pages.

The due date isn't even on the first page anymore. It just says "SEND TO TICKTOCK ASAP. AYU IS IN LONDON. I DON'T KNOW WHEN TICKTOCK WILL BE THERE." Didn't he say to send these to him by today? Or Sunday?

Obviously Ayu isn't going to the poor house because some of us download illegally, we're not her main source of income. Also, she's surprised we have her official goods in the first place so it's not like she EXPECTS us to purchase all of everything we have from her.

of course not everything~ her merchandises are.... my friend spends her time, forever in shops that has ayu stuff. O_O it's pretty awful to see a person spend money like that.

neh no lose sleep those extreem stuff. it's like a hit to her you know.. she works so hard.. then dl? I'm not sure if Japan has a system to legally dl songs tho. Japanese are very lawabiding. So if they hear any dling.. they raise a brow and suspect. You enver avoid things like these with a japanese..

hey.. we ARE her main source of income.. if none of us buy her stuff in our countries, there wouldn't be any coming in! then dl is up again.. it's possible to tell from the country you guys decided to put in ya? if you say you dl in your country where her stuff arent very much there.. it's pretty obvious.

yes, but dls are stil lvery much free now. because iTunes doesn't count towards her sales? So it woul dbe better if you would just ompletely skip the part of dl. UNLESS you dl from iTunes, or anywhere legal, then mentioning is possible. Because if it's legal, then her company should know. we have so far only one single to dl from Ayu ne.. officially FROM HER and AVEX.

It's like looking at one's artwork for sale in a gallery, and praises and praises, then don't buy. the salesgirl is going to look at you like... "you asked so many questions, talked to me for so long, and you're not buying!? grrrrr" :lol:

OR, we can all just praise her to the rainbows muahahahahaha

well, i never dl her stuff... so it's you guys then. don't blame yourselves if things happen in the future. then you all go "AH!!! i've heard this somewhere.." O_O
seeing your ages, you're all pretty young.
gambatte~

i am still hopeful that all pages sent in will be posted here to be admired upon. Also hope that it will be in time for Ayu.. she ahs about a week left in London?

oh.. i just gave you guys a long lecture hahahahahahaha/

[noidea]

^ all of ayus albums can be legally downloaded on iTunes from all around the world, so I don't see the problem. And iTunes does count towards her sales: Her digital, worldwide sales, and she does earn money from it.

[foxhana]

which is why I said iTunes can be mentioned lol. doesn't matter tho if it counts.
but not every country has iTunes.. so if your country has itunes or dl system legal, i think it's okay.

[noidea]

If people say "download" the first thing ayu thinks of will be legal downloads I'm pretty sure. So I don't think that's a problem at all.

[foxhana]

if you friend says she dl, the first thing you think of is legal dl? you must live in a world of non buying then. O_o

it's like "you think she would be touched we dl in the frist place, you think she would think this and that.." Do you really know so. It's not really about Ayu here actually. more business.. than personal. We'll probably put her in a spot of a country with low legal dls yet lots of fans.

i'm also pretty sure we are not all close to her so we wouldnt know what she thinks.

[noidea]

Because a) Ayu being rich(she can download legally as much as she wants and doesnt need illegal downloads) and an artist would never expect her fans to mention illegal downloads DIRECTLY TOWARDS HER(she surely doesn't think of her fans as stupid) and b) from what we know of interviews, Ayu always seems to see the positives first or tries to do so

[foxhana]

ahh the false image every celeb has out that. they are all pretty positive if you think about it. i'm not sure if that is real or not. but I don't see their personality has something to do with this..

being rich isn't her problem. not selling future release is. we all know she is going out of Japan already... her sales is important.

and about not mentioning dls is becoming a fight btwn you and me? why don't you write in you dl-ed her stuff? take a bet?

[dreamland2.0]

^except BanaCherry's letter said that after downloading they bought her releases... soooo I don't see the problem either actually!?
They are saying her stuff was so worth it to make an international fan spend more money to purchase it!
Sounds a bit like a compliment to me XD

[noidea]

your post doesn't make sense.
And her sales aren't her problem.
NEXT LEVEL charted better(it was 16 on the year-end-charts) than GUILTY(17 on the year-end charts) and her single sales have been consistent for years.(I'm fairly sure Days/GREEN was her best-charting single since HEAVEN)

[foxhana]

yes yes.. as i've said I"m merely trying to help. Erasing all mentions of dls (ahs isn't mentioned already) would help. because I don't dl her stuff. all her albums, all her concerts. I bought them with money I've earned. not that I dislike people who dl. but sending a letter to your idol saying "I LOVE YOU I DL YOUR STUFF" without mentioning a legal dl system is...? it would be great to add in the name. at least they know, they can provide more to that system (if they have deals that goes through).

her sales aren't her problem.. so discussions about her sales before didn't exist.. ahaha.
