plus, she already performed all of the single tracks this year


I'm thinking that she might release another 2 singles (between January and April) and then new album in May so the 2011 tour is based on it lol

maybe she gonna called it:
ayumi hamasaki - Arena Tour 2011 "L"

or Arena tour 2011 "13th anniversary" XD

and for the 2012..."10th Anniversary of Arena" (her first arena was in 2002)

^That actually wouldn't be a bad name for it.

No photobook for the CD+DVD and CD versions? Meh much?

[ownsarai]

^Well I've never heard of her having a PB for CD only, so I can understand that...but the CD+DVD with no PB is just really annoying. >.<

[Andali]

ooo!!

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

i think it would have made sense if she just had the LP size photobook for the limited edition, and then a normal sized one for the CD+DVD version.

but i guess it makes the limited edition more...special? :-\

[truehappiness]

It's probably unfitting to go with the CD only and CD+DVD considering how large it is, so they bundled all the weirdly shaped things in one set. (the 12 page nature of the photobook probably doesn't translate into much of a "photobook" in a smaller size too...)

I wonder how the package will look since it's two tiny things (microSD+USB), a normal DVD, and a giant photobook. Maybe it'll just all be shrinkwrapped together?

[ownsarai]

I'm thinking they might put it all in a nice box or something. At least that's what I would hope for, some kind of special packaging.

[Raleigh]

^ Yes I am guessing there will be a special box for it like the last album. Makes sense since it's so pricey

[toniayu]

^ i hope that the packing of the SD+USB+... don't have the same packing as rock n roll circus >_<,i hope something like a complete all singles box but a little more bigger,i don't like the package of the rock n roll circus special limited box set...

[Raleigh]

I wonder... I'm curious to see what avex will come up with. I am guessing the SD+USB will be packaged in a case.

[MissElin_]

^^No? I thought it was awesome!

[ownsarai]

I was also thinking it should be something like AC~AS~, a big box and it better be pretty! XD Not that it matters to me, I can't afford it anyway.

[Diana]

Wow o_o I love the album title!! And I hope it's gonna be good one.. and not just full of ballads because it's called "Love songs" xD
Thank you so much for the info~

[*Ayu_Freak*]

OMG I am sooo HAPPY *_____________*
That´s realy AWESOME *___*
And the title is perfect DD
I am sooo excited 8D

If all of the contents of the microSD edition were to be packaged in a large "special" box, I think they'd have mentioned that in the initial release information. With that said, I think it'd probably end up being like an LP, with the photobook sliding into a slipcase a bit bigger than an LP but thicker with the other goodies slid in as well. (I can't really see them shrinkwrapping this since that would be incredibly ghetto...)

It seems that the JYJ English album is also doing a CD+LP sized photobook thing, but that isn't coming out for a while. Most of the goods out there with "LPサイズ" are usually CDs -only- with the LP being a special jacket or something... never with a CD+USB or microSD. We'll see when they put photos up, I guess~

EDIT:

浜崎あゆみからのクリスマス・プレゼント！12thオリジナルALBUM『Love songs』発売決定!!
日本人アーティスト初となる、CDよりも「278倍」高音質な音源データ（48KHz、24bit、wav .file）を収録したUSBと、microSD（SD-VIDEOフォーマット）、DVD、フォトブックの限定セット!!>アナログLPサイズの3つ折りパッケージにmicroSDとUSB、DVD、フォトブック、歌詞ブックレッ トが全て同梱されています。

Scratch that. Looks like the set will be packaged in a three-fold analog LP-sized case.

[Raleigh]

^ Hmm... how does that look like TH?

[truehappiness]

Like this, but LP-sized.

I imagine that they will have a sleeve for the photobook and lyric booklet on one side, a space for the USB/microSD, and one for the DVD.

[Raleigh]

Oooh very cool looking I like!

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

that is going to be hugeeeee D:
