And frankly people are arguing the fact that they could sell it as a single but instead are selling it as a mini is because:
1. Ayumi/avex/who ever doesn't want to ruin Ayumi's streak (bull)
2. so avex can charge more. (Bull. They charge for how much material you are getting. And the fact is, we are getting more then the mini FIVE and it's cheaper)



I would assume they just called it a single... because that is what it was advertised as... but I think to oricon it was an album? not even a mini... lol
Um..yeah I didn't read it, cause I didn't see it. Where? There's no need to be rude.
That's their opinion, it's subjective. I'm arguing that they could not that they should or whatever.

I wasnt being rude. However I think it is rude for you to ask for a source and then dont even bother to read it.
And of course they COULD call it a single.
They could call it an AYUDOM, or bulingle, or Mcdoubleingle... it doesn't matter, it will show up on the charts as an album because thats what it is. =)

I'm expecting a dvd, a lifestyle vol.2, a calendar, but i think they aren't goint to release another album with remixes, if she releases mini-albums with remixes, what is the point for a new ayu-ro-mix, ayu trance or whatever, IMO.

By that definition though that means ayu doesn't have 50 singles - a lot of them would have to be classified as mini albums.

For me, it's not the length but the number new songs.

She routinely had singles that we're this long but they didn't charge the price of a mini album for them.

I can see no good reason really to call it a mini album other than the two theories others have posted. And that's fine. It's Avexs choice and the consumers choice to decide whether the content is worth paying the higher price - especially when there is a very good chance that all the songs will eventually be released in some form of compilation.

^ the article I found and posted was actually pretty interesting...

but basically because of the advance of technology and what not... the lines of a 'single' and a 'mini-album' have bled together.

frankly you are right... by definition, ayumi does not have 50 singles, because of her crazy maxi-singles saga that she had at the height of her career, but I think because they were billed as singles, she would count them as singles.

Yeah, what defines mini album and single in Japan is very confusing. Basically there is no logic to it and every company decides for themselves and constantly makes up their own definition based on whatever they think will make them the most money at any given time.

^ also, about the price thing...
Im pretty sure they could of gotten away with charging for less, because the way that the CD market was back then... but when your average artist sales anywhere from 80K-250K you tend to charge more... (compared to 10 years ago)

look at AKB... they have been selling singles like crazy... and if you look at their single price compared to others that dont sell has much... they tend to me lower. (not a lot... but lower)

If she's going to give us an "ayumi hamasaki WORLD TOUR 2013 A 〜15th Anniversary〜" I would be willing to buy something like that.

The Britney set is called the Singles Collection. It is around US $200. That's what I saw on Amazon a while back. Might have changed by now. I wonder what Avex would charge for something like that.

Avex sorta did that Globe's 15th anniversary


Quote:
Fifteenth anniversary greatest hits album release from globe. This limited edition includes all albums, concert footage, music videos, unreleased music video, TV appearance footage. Package features autograph of Tetsuya Komuro. Includes an original free-size T-shirt
Wouldn't be surprised if the final release was something like this. The only way I could justify buying it is if everything was properly remastered and all the artwork was redone (using outtakes and stuff) and Ayu did liner notes for each album in retrospect.

Oh I get it.

Tons of songs = mini-albums (please T_T)
If there will be mini-albums...
MINI ALBUMS = NO "FULL" ALBUM WITH SAME SONGS (like MOON, blossom etc was on Love songs after the singles realese...)
MINI ALBUMS = propably "bigger" realese than single = more pics / maybe booklet.
That will please me.
