^Yeah, since getting a roommate, I have a lot more cash to myself, so I'm trying to complete my ayu collection while I can! So much money though...omg...lol

I'm scared to know how much you guys have spent on Ayu! But, I spend most of my money on video games, so I can't talk. I have owned probably 100 video games in my lifetime. I currently own about 80. But, lately I have been spending all my money on brand name clothing.

SURREAL__RAINBOW · #**144** 29th September 2012, 08:37 AM

I used to spend a lot more on ayu, I have for example all the versions of NEXT LEVEL, You were.../BALLAD, MOON/blossom, crossroad, L, Love songs, FIVE...

Now I just get one version of whatever she's releasing, although if she released a new single not sure what I would do, depending on the different versions

Time to squeeze more money out of the fans, huh?

njanjayrp · #**146** 29th September 2012, 12:37 PM

^ Not really. It's not like she's been releasing a lot of stuff lately.

Imagine if Ayu released a best-of compiling all five releases later on...

TeamAyu2004 · #**148** 29th September 2012, 03:53 PM

I think they might plan that, sadly.

happiholic★ · #**149** 29th September 2012, 04:01 PM

I would honestly be very upset if they did that if I bought all the releases before it. I've had things like that happen once before, but I ended up selling the things I didn't need. This time I'm going to wait until the end and see what they decide to do, since the DVD version isn't limited. I only buy DVD versions, since I actually have a Japanese DVD player I feel the need to put it to use. I don't want it to feel unloved.

It will love you forever, I'm sure!

This time I'll only buy something if it have really limited (and interesting for me) things... I'll buy them all in the future, but I'm planning going to Japan next year in April and I need to save up mone, this all is too much >.<

A box set seems more likely.

4ever*ayu · #**153** 30th September 2012, 12:15 AM

i thought Memorial Address would be the first n last mini album ayu will ever released, but then FIVE came out, and now these...
MA still the best mini album imo..

happiholic★ · #**154** 30th September 2012, 02:28 AM

^Well, its going to be hard for LOVE to compare to MA, since MA has more songs and PVs. MA and FIVE are more comparable.

Wasn't Secret originally supposed to be a mini, too?

Chibi-Chan · #**155** 30th September 2012, 02:38 AM

^Yeah, Secret was supposed to be a mini at first. But I don't know why they changed it.

TeamAyu2004 · #**156** 30th September 2012, 02:41 AM

^ she said that she was inspired and added something like 8 songs.

yoshino · #**157** 30th September 2012, 10:26 AM

This is a great news!! I'm so happy to know she's doing something special~~ I like that!

Chibi-Chan · #**158** 1st October 2012, 12:33 AM

I love it when artists do such consecutive releases! There is always so much more excitement for the releases! (at least for me^-^)

I don't care if it's a mini or a single. In the end I can't afford 5 minis nor 5 consecutive singles and will download it either way.

happiholic★ · #**159** 1st October 2012, 01:10 AM

^That's a good way of looking at it

Chibi-Chan · #**160** 1st October 2012, 01:31 AM

^I know, right?

And honestly, most of us will download those minis and wouldn't even buy them if they were singles. Only 39 CD's of LOVE were preordered so far here at ahs and some people ordered multiple versions (see the LOVE purchase count thread). So why be angry about it?
See the positive site: THERE WILL BE A LOT OF NEW AYU MUSIC EVERY ****ING MONTH! For the case she releases every month music and not a calendar or DVD or so. I would be very pissed if something that would be released regardless will be added to this. But I'm hoping that avex and Ayu learned from Acid Black Cherry's 5 month 5 singles project. I mean it was VERY good promotion and so yasu got the number one instead of Ayu.
Just a thought: maybe they really want to make the same thing with Ayu. But 'cos yasu made it just one year ago and this way he took the number one away from Ayu they want to prevent people saying she just copies this. So maybe they really will release only minis or minis and singles - so that the project is basically the same but still different.
