The A or B Thread...

This is a thread where people who are stuck between buying two products and want reviews or opinions of the two products.

For example, I'll say:Ayumi Hamasaki's Arena Tour 2002 A or Dome Tour 2001 A? And then other people can say which one, trying to provide some reason(s) why or why not the get one. Also, suggestions of better products would help too. This could make it a lot easier to figure out which on is better and get rid of excess threads.

So I guess I'll start it with my example, Which one should I buy? Arena Tour 2002 A or Dome Tour 2001? I really like the I am...songs so I'm leaning towards getting Arena Tour 2002...

*You can add two new products in at any time, just make sure to put them in bold*

Good idea!

I think you should buy Dome Tour, cause I think the tracklist is better...

Should I buy the a-nation 2004 DVD or Ayu ARENA TOUR 2003-2004 DVD?

I saw the a-nation on BT and If that's the actual DVD, I'd go with ARENA TOUR 2003-2004 because I watched about half of it and it's really good, especially ANGEL'S SONG...

a-nation, at least the one on BT was pretty bad, and Ayu got only two songs. I'd wait until an official tracklist comes out...

I'd go with a-nation just cause the one on Bunko was a TV rip of it, not the full DVD.

I've got two...

ELT's Many Pieces or 4 Force? (I already have EBS+2 but I love the B-sides/album tracks)....

...and Yaida Hitomi's Candlize or Air/Cook/Sky?

(Nevermind, I'm getting Air/Cook/Sky tomorrow and Candlize for my birthday)

i listened to both ELT albums, i liked Many Pieces better, although none of them were really my taste. So for the songs, i guess Many Pieces is better, but i know nothing about the performances. Ask Kevin..=P

Really depends on what kind of sounds you prefer, if you want something with a harder or rockish beats which I assume you do, then Many Pieces is a nice pick (can't go wrong with 'AMBIVALENCE' or 'stray cat'); but if you'd rather want to be in a relaxing mood like me, you should go with 4 FORCE, 'cuz I find songs like 'force of heart' and 'No limit' very easy to cheer you up when you feel down. I'm not saying I don't like Many Pieces, it's just that it has this intense flavor which makes me a bit tired when finishing playing the whole album.

I'm already getting commonplace (the most relaxing CD I know of) for X-mas so I guess I'll go with Many Pieces...(I love AMBIVALENCE!)

*PS, I meant albums, I think someone thought I meant concerts, but I already have the Many Pieces DVD*

Does that mean it'll have the Backstage stuff separately and fit in more performances? I really wanted to see more Ai, ELT, DAI and Ayu...Especially Happy Days or Sakuranbo & Ayu's HANABI looked really good...

I don't think there'll be backstage stuff, at least judging from the a-nation '03 tracklisting, but there should be more performances. Not by many, though - maybe one or two more.
This year's a-nation DVD is cheaper than last year's though, so do expect fewer performances than last year's DVD.

You have yet to listen to a Chihiro Onitsuka album then... haha HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Anyways and about tl1029530921... I'd personally not go with either and get the LOVE & HONESTY TOUR 2004. But if you have that then probably VALENT 2003 TOUR.

I'm deciding between these four for my next YesAsia! purchase after I recieved my copy of Dome Tour and One Day, One Dream... pick 2 PLEASE!

A museum ~30th Single Collection DVD (keep in mind I'M A HUGE FORGIVENESS FAN)
Arena Tour 2003-2004
Namie Amuro SO CRAZY Best Singles Concert 2004 DVD
Mika Nakashima's 'LOVE' FINAL

OR this order:

Chihiro Onitsuka '02 LIVE AT BUDOKAN with
Namie Amuro LOVE ENHANCED Singles Collection

TeamAyu: Save up, and wait for Oni's new clip DVD, which will contain all 17 of her PVs released with Toshiba-EMI. Due on 1st December, together with her best-of album.

Ai Otsuka doesn't have a second album yet... but when she does it'll rock for sure but anyways from judging the singles ~I~ would personally go with her first album, which is just AMAZING LOL I love it so much especially since 'Momo no Hanabira' and 'Sakuranbo' are on there which I think are her most brilliant works and not 'Kingyou Hanabi' as many believe to be her best piece because that song is just too darn repetitive, and don't get me started on the men grunting in 'Happy Days'. Overall ALL her singles were strong but I think the singles for 'LOVE PUNCH' were better.

EDIT:
FORGET EVERYTHING I JUST SAID BESIDES THE FACT THAT I'D STILL GO WITH THE FIRST ALBUM!
