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

[kendelle]

I'll keep my fingers crossed for a cover album or tribute compilation. So far only 2 of these 5 releases is any good

[Deep snow]

What? Was Return Road not performed during the final leg(s) of the tour? If not, then wouldn't that have been preposterous? I mean, it's Return Road, one of the defining moments (if not the only one) of the overly-stretched-out mediocre-looking tour! God I hope this isn't true and Return Road is in fact on the DVD/BD. I've been looking forward to hearing it live since I saw the footages of the early shows. I don't think my t!ts would know how to keep calm if the song is absent.

...I really saw this coming. In fact, last night I had JUST told my sister, "I bet there just gonna release the concert dvd for her fifth release."

But seriously. By now, this is just not very surprising. Like, in some ways, I can see how some people are excited about this. But on the other hand, I can imagine why some people are disappointed.

Oh well!

we had 2 great "singles" one nice "album", an inspired "classical" and a great concert in blu-ray; for me was a great 5 months of releases.

i don't know what the people was waiting, the winter collection? a best 3?
i think the five things that we already have are way better than a track list full of the same ******* songs of the last 5 years and "maybe" one new song

[pepper]

its just like they could realese this ANYTIME - its not bad or good. They could just realese dvd EVEN day after anniversary schedule ;/
for "anniversary" is nothing special.

I don't have hopes for april, I think they might just don't realese anything at all.



you know what would be awesome? (i know it will NEVER happen but w/e)
dvd/br with NEW pvs for old songs that should have them.
that would sell like cookies...

I pre-ordered the blu-ray as soon as I saw this post as well, lol. I'm very excited about this release, this is my first time preordering one of her concerts, and on bluray. I've been waiting for this release so I'm happy that it's coming out in two months!

[harufi]

Happy with this - pretty please let Return Road be included in some way!

[spanishfan]

Cool, a DVD we might get even is not her anniversary, like every year :/

I've prefered if these 5 release were just 5 singles with 1 or 2 songs, with good PV's, good covers and some kind of bonus like a virtual ayupan (like Party Queen one) or something else.

Or 4 singles and then an Album with them.

A classical could be extra stuff for these singles (with new vocals as 10th anniversary versions)

HLS DVD could be extra stuff in the album as Party Queen.

That would be the same things we're getting now but it wouldn't be a joke like TeamAyu2004 said, it would be better than this way of celebrating her anniversary...

I love to complain.

nice to see that this DVD will be the last release in this project.

I just wish the Blurays weren't so expensive ;_; it boggles my mind.

Well they're really not...unless you're in Japan...and I agree...it's such a shame. Too bad they're avoiding 'Overseas' versions of her BDs.

CDjapan finally updated their site with the links... yaya!!
time to order!

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.

please tell me they're releasing studio versions of all those covers on an album :O I want to hear them so badly.

Well at least you admitted it lol.

They release studio versions but only aired on the radio. But I think they'll release an album with all the covers. They MUST do it xD You can hear them here: http://www.youtube.com/user/WTlover9...ow=grid&view=0 and this one that I don't know why it isn't in the other channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gnx-Vx3F_Y8 They are in the best quality I found. Enjoy them ^^

Sorry for the off-topic :p

What about those who don't like live DVDs?
It's like being forcefed broccoli.
It's supposed to be a gift to her fans right?
I know we have to PAY for it... But... This could be any other release. She was gonna release this DVD anyway, I think. Or maybe Slavex thought it would BOMB of it wasnt part of the 5 month release hype train (that has already derailed for the most part)

How about those who don't like singles? Or remixes? Or physical releases? Or orchestral song? Or wanted to wait more for a new album?

If she is going to try pleasing every ****ing one from her overly spoiled fanbase everytime she releases something, it's better for her to retire at once.

And I didn't know people hate live DVDs so much, I always though her fanbase liked to see her performing.

Edit: Can't wait for the meltdowns once people discover the special gift for those who bought everything isn't a HD expensive TV, a private jet or 5 drops of Ayu's blood on a glass.

[owlflight]

I would like the special gift to be related to some unreleased music. However I think I'll be ok if it isn't as I don't plan on getting the 5th release.

Theories are floating around that it will be the 2013 calendar, haha. However, that would mean overseas fans are screwed if that is the case.

I agree with you. No matter what she does, there's always going to be fans who aren't pleased about it so to try to give every fan exactly what they want is unrealistic. I don't buy her singles, remix albums, and I don't really care for best albums as I have no interest in rebuying the same songs I already purchased from her studio or mini albums, but I don't complain about them constantly every time they're released. At the end of the day, it's up to each individual to decide if they want to buy something or not, but I really don't see the point in complaining about the same thing over and over. I mean, I can understand expressing your displeasure a few times but to constantly complain about the same thing over and over when you know that nothing is going to change comes across as pathetic, especially when someone is whining about it for a span of several pages. People should focus their time and energy on things that they're happy about instead of nagging about something that they don't have to spend their time reading about or buying if they're not interested in it. I'll never understand why people invest so much time and energy into things they don't like and willingly wallow in their misery for so long when they have a choice to not deal with it at all if they don't want to.
