Yes, it was really bad luck. Especially for that price :sweat:
Thy and me are trying to get that PB for a while now since I saw it at a friend of mine (genji from here)
ItLs a ultra rare photobook that was never sold officially. Only on a few concerts during the 2005 live tour.
Unline the official Tour PB ILm scanning currently, which has some studio pics but mostly on-stage and backstage photos, this one has only studio photos. About 70 pages with mostly unknown photos. All long hair pics (which is especially hard for poor Thy-san :sweat: )
Last one was sold at y-actions for about 12500yen. It was me back then who lost the auction :banghead:
Fortunately I won one last night now :yippee: for about 10000yen. ItLs a very high but OK price considering how rare it is.
But the hardedt thing is that the other one, which Thy was bidding on, was sold for only 1200yen!!!!! And it even had a goo bike mousepad with it.
Seems nobody found this other auction :shakehead:
This is how it looks like (from ThyLs auction with the pad):

The golden Aya pic on the left is actually not printed on the (softcover) book itself but itLs on a clear plastic slipcase around the book.

Thanks! I check everyday with no luck and the time I don't check, you find it! :applaud: And thanks for your ayasuki updates, I'll have to visit later on. Totally busy with EVERYTHINGG. Including being mad over that stupid action I messed up. :cursing:



Gloomy: Thanks for the pv link, i havent watched it yet but long hair? Man, this is almost too good to be true. Now if they chance the album cover to long hair... :hehe:

Hey, at least leave me the short hair cover when you already get long hair in the PV all the time :beatyou: :hehe:
But ILm sure youLll like the new PV and her look in it ^_^

candyman808 wrote:What does it look like?

pictures like these are inside the book. And yes, it's THAT good. I think it''d probably be better than any of her other PBs in my opinion.

Just a little amendment and follow-up of the story:
The crazy fan did meet Andy and took a photo w/ him some years before. However, later she asked more for having a deep talk w/ Andy (she thought that it's not enough and unfair to her for just taking photo w/ her idol because she has sacrificed everything for him. She even has quited study because she has to work as a 24-hour 'professional fan' supporting Andy.) Well, their further request has been turned down (i'm quite sure that if Andy fulfilled her request again, she would further ask for to date and finally get married w/ him.) Therefore, her father went furious and killed himself by jumping into the sea. After that, she and her mom still kept on asking for a meet w/ Andy because they wanted to realize her father's will (bakayaro)! In fact, there're much more crazy behaviour. Just let me skip it.

I totally agree w/ Thy's words. But not only that crazy fan, her parents should also take a quite large part of responsibility. At least, they don't know how to educate their daughter and even support her crazy behavior by all means. To me, it's a kind of mental or psychological illness. Very ABNORMAL! :shakehead:

Personally, I feel that crazy behaviour taken by some fans in the mainland has becoming more serious (though crazy cases also take place in other areas). Reasons behind may be quite complicated, but the 'one-child policy' sure is one of the reasons.

Sorry, my mom told me the details. I didn't read the Chinese newspaper :mrgreen: But now it sounds even crazier. Quitting their job to be a 24 hour fan? :bleh:

I agree with ya, the parents grew her up wrong. But the daughter takes the most fault. She had these sick ideas and drove her parents to take these responsibilities. And that's disgusting how after the father died they still wanted more of Andy. Almost like using the death as an excuse to get what they want. I wouldn't get my parents killed to see any person. Some people around China are getting pretty crazy..

Thanks for the comments Jinzo!

U're owned !
:woot: I particularly like Aya's shoes , dunno why :puppydog: but :wow: very nice shape !
The skirt is pretty too :mrgreen:

@jinzo : so that girl and her parents were chinese from mainland ? Because I wondered since the begining which nationality they could be from. So now u speak about one child policy, I suppose they're chinese. :bleh: I agree with you :bleh: I have a feeling there's a lot of work for psychiatrists in china. Hmm could be a way to earn my life very well ... well we'll see.
Thx thy and jinzo for sharinh the story I didn't know it.

Nice find Sango. I seem to miss a lot of pics from Uety. I'll get owned once aya grows REAL long hair.

I'm glad you enjoyed the highly amusing story :hehe:

Wonderful statement :applaud: .
Yeah reminds me also when Jackie Chan married a girl committed suicide, since then he doesn't show his private life anymore. Haha what pity for a crazy "fans", giving in the end more pain than support to their idols.

Really?? i never knew that! jackie Chan must be a bad husband! jk jk

Oh, ok. After all you just took a triple combo... I mean lose the PB + let the big discount go and bonus kick is the mouse pad ... :shamefulcry: This is so :banghead: !
Hopefully we may have a chance to see it, since genji and Free have it now :mrgreen:
awww I wanna earn a lot of money soon :fingerscrossed: As time goes by, the more PB I miss, the rarer they become, the more money I'd have to spend in teh future to find them. :shamefulcry:

Hm btw those preview studio pics above, are not very rare. These were among the first pics I found of Aya on the net. Hiroayu have them on his site. But as the PB is 70 pages, I'll trust Free when he says there are much more. With all the owrk he has I guess we'll see them next year though :sweat:
Free, don't u have a nephew or someone like that, a kid close to u that still goes to school, elementary school for example .. well someone who has lots of free time ... he/she could help you with all the scans. He/she will learn a lot about scanners, dpi, resolution, matching pics etc. Of course it has to be someone you trust, not a wicked kid who would either tear your Aya pages because he/she finds it's stoopid to be so fond of a distant japanese girl; either steal the pages because on the contrary he (can't be she :mrgreen: ) totally fell in love with "Aya- neesan" and would hide the scans below his bed, cherish them as his own secret, and think of Aya-chan as his secret wife. :grumble:
Dude, a kid like that boy in Install :fingerscrossed: Sure he/she would do a very good job.

Ahem, if you had been interested in her ears like me (or her lips, or her sideburns, or her eyes, or her scar etc.) you wouldn't encounter this problem of long/short. :mrgreen:
Haha it's a choice that you made, accept the drawbacks LOL. FOr my part, I'm always owned because I like ears AND long hair. DO u see what I mean ? When short hair : you see the ears. When long hair : I get caught in this silky ocean. ANd if it's fake long hair like Hotelier's, you still see the ears. :lol: :mwahaha:
:victory:
Nevermind. Sure, REAL long hair would better not to be a long time coming.

Yeah yeah the story was *lol ?* Hard to believe.
Err I'm not sure to correctly get the joke about Jackie. :confused:

Btw just saw hotelier ep 6. The most "drama-tic", "oh crap !" and "omg ?!" script thing is at the end of this episode. Mizusawa is owned ! LOL.

No, unfortunately I donLt have any younger family members who I could give all the work to. Maybe I shoud train some monkeys to do it :rofl:
Scanning the PB will get tricky. :sweat: Its a bit smaller and I donLt really want to bend it too much and risking to damage it. Because of this and because itLs very rare I think there are no scans around at all.
But ILll try to scan some pages where itLs not necessary to bend it too much.
Most of the photoshoots in the book are known. But there are always several outtakes that havenLt been seen yet.

Oh, ok. NO ! DON'T ! No monkeys ! Who knows of what they are capable. I bet they'll recognize Aya as one of theirs (remember shimokita ep 8 :rofl: ) and take her pics out of your home. :fingerscrossed:
Errr the PB is a bit "smaller" ? Then what the problem, if it's smaller you can scan the whole page without doing a tricky amtching. Btw Is it hard cover ?
In case of last chance, some average photos will be enough, besides photos will preserve the rare scent this PB have, i.e the satisfaction of the buyer having a rare book, and so the fame of Aya-chan as someone unique and not "industrial". Awww why am I saying this, as if I love suffering ... :shamefulcry: Dudes , I envy you.

lol
Good one with the Shimotkita monkeys :rofl:
Yes, the PB is a bit smaller than the others. The problem is not the size but the bending. YouLd have to bend and squeeze it a lot in the middle to scan the whole page.
ItLs a softcover.
And yes, putting HQ scans up from some rare book is a problem and unfair to people who bought it for high prices. Just like someone would do rips from DVDs. ThatLs for example the reason why I didnLt rip the extras from the AP DVD box or why I take time to scan the Artworks PB which came with the last single. After all we support Aya-chan by buying originals! If people are only downloading scans and rips she wonLt earn any money for her hard work.
I know itLs bad not to be able to get hands on some Aya stuff if you are outside Japan. :grumble: Sometimes your only chance are scans and rips, of course. Here in Germany itLs not much different. I have to travel a lot to get some Aya items or spend much money by buying them online. :sweat: But still there are many ways to buy Aya stuff even outside Japan. And originals are not only nicer but they also support Aya :mrgreen:

And Of Course it's Thy-Style Hair Cut Also. :hehe:

Originals have better quality than some uploaded stuff.And yeah...like u said...buying originals support the artiste...I have lots of friends...don't know is it because of the stingy characteristic in their Singaporean blood...who come and tell that they start supporting J-Pop artiste.One example of mine...

One of my friends listened to Otsuka Ai's song and started to support her.Not bad.he dlled many songs and videos.That's ok...but that guy just wouldn't buy her albums and songs!!!I ask him the reason...he told me"I support her songs only."I felt like laughing at that moment!!!IF you don't support a artiste for their songs or acting capability then what about them do you support?!?

Singaporeans can speak without even thinking sometimes...

plus theres the fact that if everyone just supported their songs they would be out of a job and then have no more songs!
