The reasoning for the show being the way it was seemed pretty good though.

I mean, if you had thousands of fans overseas that you wanted to see certain elements of a live, I'm sure you'd redo them at your WORLD/ASIA TOUR..

Hmmm... Well, no actually.. Japan has seen those stuff already. For them that it's an Asia Tour might be exciting but it's nothing to them. The show we see on DVD is a performance in Japan and not outside. She could've at least done something new while she was in Japan and indeed as you said leave the old recycled stuff for Asia, because outside Japan they're already wetting themselves she's even comming there.

Btw... is it true it fell down to #4? Because I want to know what the sales are to be honest

[truehappiness]

Who said it fell to #4?

It's still #2.

...I didn't quite like that they interdispersed the documentary among the actual live concert. I also didn't like that they re-mastered the audio in the manner that they did...it made the entire live look lip-synched. It was just...weird.

[truehappiness]

I don't think they did much to remaster the audio...

It seemed like it was the same as usual :/

May be 80~85k at the end.

But her concerts sell! That's the more important factor. One concert ticket = 1 DVD and perhaps even more!

just 45k?! sigh...why her dvd sales is really low...sigh..sigh..sigh...

Well, for the NUMEROUS fans who have already seen her concert, getting her concert DVD is just kind of like a bonus for collection? Yup, if you've seen it, you'll probably remember it. I guess the bulk of them are fans, but they're probably civic-minded enough to not splurge excessively on Ayu items.

Don't forget the goods and the stuff that they buy too! That accounts for A LOT of the revenue. DVDs are obviously more expensive. So if you really factor in the costs, that would cost a lot! It's good though to release DVDs, because fans who haven't managed to watch the concert can watch it, and well, the smaller pool of die-hard Ayu fans can collect the DVDs!

And since it's an ASIA TOUR, I'm pretty sure it'll sell better overseas too like Hong Kong, Taiwan and China! I think overseas fans tend to value and treasure Ayu items more than the Japanese do. But I guess absence makes the heart grow fonder. It's because her overseas fans aren't in direct contact with her that perhaps they are more attached to Ayu items rather than the Japanese, who would look upon Ayu as less "exclusive" than her overseas fans, explaining perhaps the lower sales of her DVD. It has always been the case anyway.

[Zemus]

I don't really consider those sales that bad at all. Just compare it with other DVD released by Ayu and you'll see. It looks like it will end with similiar sales with AT2006 maybe, or little lower ^^

She has never sold a DVD more than 150k copies, not even during her peak. (Please do correct if I am wrong.)

[TITANIC]

POOR ayu...
how can the sales very low..
this is asia tour..
c'mon japanese. buy this DVD...
OMG....

It's mainly because ayu is one of the artists that has a lot of dates in huge arenas so most of the fans/people who would buy the DVD watched this concert live, most of the others perform in small halls that can contain 1500-2500 people ^-^.

The total sales of the DVDs aren't low though either for a DVD.

[TITANIC]

namie's 1st week sales even higher than ayu.....

I think it's not the reason, many artist play in big arena or dome (some Johnny's) and sells more than ayu.

Hmm...I don't think Ayu did too much promoting for the DVD but 50K for its 1st week is still good. Next week, her remix albums are debuting and I just excited to see how that will sale.

[TITANIC]

saw the 1st week sale, i thought remix album will sell as low as this DVD

[ayu-marco]

actually, the concert DVD first week sales is quite good~
since AT06 first week sales is 47129

[freedreamer]

LOL string of #2s...its ok..
