why do you buy singles ?

[KarenPang]

this's going to sound like a really DUH question but I want to know , do you buy a single because of :

- how pretty the single cover is
- the content of it

or is it because of the artiste ?

[Amai Yume]

if the artist is like Kumi, then I buy all the singles because it's Kumi and I want to have all her singles and albums

- usually though I'll buy singles because I can't wait for the album, and you never know if an artist is gonna leave it off

[ll moments ll]

^ yeah, i'm the same with KAT-TUN. i have all their albums & singles because i like to collect everything from them.

i get singles if they have extras that i like, such as a remix, DVD, or B-sides that won't make it on the studio album.

[M_aria]

Usually it's cause I can't wait for the album. The second main reason is if it has a good remix or b-side. There have been a few instances where I just bought them for the cover alone. I haven't been about collecting all their stuff for a while now. I also get singles for the instrumental tracks.

[ayumixfan]

Because it Ai Otsuka =) LOL ~! I just love her music =) ~!

[prussian blue]

it depends

mostly i wont buy singles cause its worthless, unless there's stuff that wont be in the album.

but for some artist like hitomi, i will buy it cause since she's very quiet now, i think im gonna buy the single for burying the "boreness" of her now (ig i have credit card )

[sibby]

beacause i am a loser and i waste money HAHA

and also because i cant wait for the album :X

[Amai Yume]

I think that's the reason most people buy singles - I mean you never how far the album will be after the single so many people [myself included] just wanna have the songs

[Meat Pao]

I always use the stupid excuse - Because they have b-sides, instrumentals and sometimes remixes!!

No, actually i buy singles for the sake of collecting them. Yea now call me stupid. I think the cover plays a part too.

[KuroixShiroi_Namida]

Because it's ayu!

I buy ayu singles and usually kuu singles. Other artist depends on if i like the song or have the money

I buy singles because it is great for collection purposes ;D!

[criminal]

I'm on a limited budget so I rarely buy singles. For example, I bought Morning Musume's Kanashimi Twilight because it was at a good price, considering I got a photobooklet and I couldn't see myself buying any album of theirs, but wanted to own that song physically.

If the song is just amazing and their aren't any overseas [cheaper] versions of the artist's album, then I buy the single, too.

[TITANIC]

i have 4 criterias for buying single :
1. because of the artist
2. because i have money at that moment
3. because of bonus
4. because of pretty cover

[prussian blue]

i'll buy single when there's clearance too^^

LOL at fairyland

which version did you get Seb ?

[Deneb]

because it's cool to have a stack of cds xD

[minna]

because of the artist
like ayu I buy every release singles // albums // dvds

becasue of the content // covers
b-sides
instrumentals

[Ayumi27]

Since most of my idols are western artists, is a waste of money to buy singles, since they are released after the album is already out there, and for asian artists like Ayu, i prefer to wait until the albums are released... If not, i would be a very poor person.

[Richieooxx]

I buy everything Tenjo Chiki/CSJH releases. I love everything they do

Well, I don't buy anything except from Hikki and Ami. I buy all their stuff because I am dedicated to them

[AyuGAME]

hmm...for support my fav artist...that's why i buy it...
