This is pretty cool. Ayumi Hamasaki is to relase her TENTH album titled "Next Level" completely on a USB drive.
Its a pretty cool idea if you ask me. Next Level will be released March 25th on cd, and the USB, limited in quantity, will be released the same day. It will have 4 different pakages, and the USB version will have all 13 tracks that appear on the cd, 6 music videos and lyrics.
The USB drive will be 2 GB, however the album only take 800MB, so you can use the rest of the space for whatever you want. I see it will sell at 6,800 yen, which is roughly 91.33 CAD, and 72.58USD. Seems expensive, but another blog mentioned that its a pretty good price since USB drives usually go for 4,000 to 5,000 yen. 53.77 CAD - 67.24 CAD 42.74 USD - 53.41 USD. so you buy your flash drive, and the album. Still seems S'pensive to me, but yanno, ression time (my hours got cut at work, so we all know who isn;t getting Ayumi's new album on USB, lol)
(these are calculated at todays exchange rate btw)
I think this is a neat idea. The cd is becoming obsolete, and more and more people are listening to mp3's.
