June 28 2008: Hitomi’s new single is up! Not only is Hitomi absolutely cute on the cover but the songs are all amazing. I know fans have been a bit divided over her last few releases but I’ve been having a hoot! Her last single was so very sad and touching and her lastest one is so upbeat! We are all very curious to find out what the album will be like. Less than a month of waiting is left (that is, if the mailmen continue to spoil me, hehe). Now enough reading, go enjoy the scans!
June 21 2008: Wow! I don’t think I’ve ever received so many thank you messages so fast! I very happy to see that the mailmen not only spoil me but you guys as well. So thank you for all the wonderful comments and you are all very welcome for the scans! Now, onto business! I’ve been toying around with the idea of making the scans bigger. Screen resolutions are changing and my precious 1024×768 has become rather small. Of course upgrading all 187 posts (and counting) would take a while but it would be a nice summer project! I will be letting you guys know when I officially begin the overhaul! Now go enjoy the scans!
June 18 2008: An update! With scans! Once more the mailmen have spoiled me! Ayumi’s new DVD has been delivered on it’s release date. Also, the covers and tracklisting for Hitomi’s new album “Flare” have been released. Taken from the same photoshoot as her new single, the covers display a very cute Hitomi Shimatani. The only down side is waiting a month until it’s out! But in the mean time we have Ayu’s DVD and Hitomi’s new single next week. Enjoy the new scans!
June 3 2008: Another Ayumi Hamasaki magazine scan! How many more can the site take? Hehe, it’s true! I’ve updated the site once more with a 2002 Ayumi magazine. There aren’t many images but I do find Ayumi absolutly gorgeous (hence the purchase of it). Enjoy this little treat as we await the upcoming Hitomi and Ayumi releases!
May 28 2008: Ok, it’s time for an update! I will admit that I’ve let my lazy side take over these past few weeks. Of course, that doesn’t mean I haven’t been working! There have been a few changes to the site. First is the deletion of the “Excluded Items” page. I decided to use this golden rule: if it’s not listed, it won’t be available. There is however an exception for books: they will sporadically appear on the site. The second update is the removal of the “AYUREADY to draw?” page. But do not fear! The images are still on the site, on their respetive posts (an example: the “Step you” comic is on the “Step you CD+DVD” post). It will be a few weeks before new scans do come but I have been busy scanning all the pamphlets that are left on the “Ayumi Hamasaki” page. Though this may disappoint some, I’ve decided to hold on to those scans and post them when we have a long wait for new items. So enjoy the old images as you await the new ones!
May 12 2008: Surprise! How I’ve grown to love those words, hehe. There are new Ayumi Hamasaki scans up but they’re not from a magazine. They are actually helping the site get one step closer towards completion. I am very happy to announce that the “appears” scans are now available. Though I am certain many of you have already seen them, it’s very joyful to be able to have such a rare single on the site. It also means that only Ayumi’s Mini CDs are missing. Hurrah for “appears” finally being here, hehe. Also, Hitomi’s next album has been pre-ordered and will be released in July. Once the title is announced, it will be added to the “Coming Soon” section. Enjoy the new scans!
May 5 2008: Surprise! We have yet another Ayumi Hamasaki magazine! The S-Cawaii May 2008 issue is now on the site. Enjoy!
May 1 2008: It’s always so enjoyable when Ayumi and Hitomi releases coincide. Though normally we get three straight weeks of updates, this June will only have two. First there will be Ayumi’s lastest DVD of the CDL 2007-2008 on the 18th, followed by Hitomi’s next single on the 26th. The only bad news is the waiting, hehe.
