The Ayumi Hamasaki Network

Pop-star ayumi hamasaki (31) has announced that 12 self-penned lyric-sheets have been enclosed within 12 out of approximately 400,000 initial pressing copies of her new album [Rock’n’Roll Circus] (released on 14 April).
She has stated that this is a surprise from herself to the buyer. She got the idea of distributing presents, and she enclosed the lyric-cards in order to directly convey the world of music.
She used her favourite pen in order to write on A4 size paper.
With regard to the 12/400,000 probability of obtaining one of these rare items, hamasaki has said, “I put a lot of emotion into writing these, so I hope they will be treasured by whomever receives them.”
Moreover a new song not included on the album, unconfirmed as to whether or not it will be released, will be a free chaku-uta present to fan club members who purchase the album.

OH MY GOD!!
AAAHHHHH AHHHH AHHH I WANT ONE!!!!!!
I really hope that one of the people who get one if a part of an Ayu forum or at least blogs about it or SOMETHING

i think i would just die if i got one lol

Wow, that would an amazing thing to get!! ^_^

OMG
PREORDERING! omgomgomg
i really like her handwriting lol it's so cute

Imagine how disappointed so many people are going to be when they open their CD and find they don't have it

Well, I've been having a pretty good year so far so maybe, just maybe, I'll get one I doubt it but it never hurts to hope lol.

Buy lots of copies of the album for friends and relatives and keep the one with the handwritten lyrics in it, if you get one

WOW.
Congratz to whoever gets those!

you know, it's like a thousand times i've ordered stuff @ cdjapan when they had quiz, like "20 of 200 first ppl who buys ayu's album could get a towel etc." and i NEVER won anything. and here, i really don't think i could ever get it .. so at least i'm happy having a first-press copy preordered, eheh.

i wonder..if i get one ...na everyone wants one ^^

really cool if i get one i will frame it and hang it above my bed ^^


edit:
they give posters too i got one at yesasia i went over there and check it ^^ that is a good sad prise if you don't get a written lyric

Chances are really slim you would get one, yes~ but at least you have a chance. If you happen to get one, imagine how excited you'd be. ^_^

WOW this new album stuff keeps getting better and better. I am fully convinced to Pre-Order this album now~ yay! =)
Like everyone else said, I would definitely die if I got one of her hand written lyrics! Such a small chance though.

Just be standing next to me if I got one you could steal it when I fell over in shock.

I'm actually considering this.

LOL GOOD THING I'M TOO CHEAP TO BUY THE JAPAN VERSION!!

That's a clever marketing gimmick though, it really is!

Is it going to be only in the first press copies of the album?

I think so, but it's kinda pointless anyway, because the handwritten lyrics for RED LINE are already in the booklet.

^ But that's just a copy. Ayu didn't write in every single booklet

I think it would be cool to get some handwritten lyrics. Does anyone know if anyone has them? I heard someone had Sunrise. I want Lady Dynamite *prays*

don't have my copie yet it must come anytime now.... ^^ you now i totally forgot about those lyrics... lol

I haven't received mine yet either. Mine's from Taiwan so no handwritten lyrics for me
