News from the Japanese site that isn't in the English one:
The live DVD section's length is 120 minutes and the documentary's is a whopping 210 minutes for a total of 330 minutes or FIVE AND A HALF HOURS. according to CD Japan. Might not be true.

This is most definitely her most gargantuan live DVD release EVER.

The live DVD ayumi hamasaki ASIA TOUR 2007 ~Tour of Secret~ "LIVE + DOCUMENTARY" to be released on Wednesday, March 12

ayumi hamasaki's first Asian tour is now available on a long-awaited DVD!
The 120-minute live DVD captures every hit song of the show, plus encores, encompassing songs from the Secret album and staples of ayumi's live shows.
The scale of ayumi's Asian tour was completely unheard of. Running from March to June 2007, the tour mobilized a total of 180,000 people in Japan (Saitama, Yokohama, Nagoya, Osaka, and Fukuoka), Taipei, Hong Kong, and Shanghai and transported the 600-ton stage to perfectly recreate ayumi's Japan shows in cities around Asia. This DVD set contains exceptionally rare footage never seen in past tour DVDs that filmed only the final concert. It includes such precious moments as the wild reception of ayumi's Asian fans and songs performed at only a few stops during the tour ("Memorial address," "JEWEL," "momentum," and "flower garden").

中でも安室奈美恵ちゃんのプロデュースは異色で、ついぞ本人に会わずに完成、
vidal sassoonのCMの為の曲で、60年代、70年代、80年代とそれぞれ曲が変わり、
僕は80's担当。CM自体はまだ曲が使われたヴァージョンで流れてませんが、追って。
思いのほか新鮮な仕上がりで満足。出来ればアルバムごとプロデュースやってみたいな。

Maybe this will be included in a new remix album, to celebrate her 10th anniversary. ^^

This is big news, since she hasn't had a "remix" for like a year. :O

Can't wait! [It was "Island Mix" and glitter "Soul Central" kinda count, but no one ever heard them ;__;]


I really do hope this means she'd have a remix album this year.

From her official site~

Um..not quite sure what to think. I really don't want Days to be a ballad cause 3 ballads + GREEN will be so fucking boring

She could easily have the final version of GREEN be different than the CM stuff we got. She does that. haha.

And hopefully she does. Green feels rather uninspired.

After Memorial Address, I felt that I had to start looking for the gems mixed in with the generic Ayumi fodder. It'd be nice to not have to look for those gems.

new songs is gooood
but 4 versions...

UFA's "different editions" mean one gets a card, the other doesn't. Now Ayu has a clever management.

If I like the songs enough, I might get one or the other, or both.

Did Tsunku wrote LOVE ~since 1999~ or Love ~Destiny~ or both?

He just wrote Love ~since 1999~ though he is one of the only writers that Ayu has ever let pen for her.
