HMV Japan is taking pre-orders for Ayu’s 2009 official calendar. The current release date is October 30th for 2400 yen (approximately $22 US).
At the moment, HMV is the only retailer with the calendar listed. HMV folds posters; I’m not sure how they package their calendars.

Although there isn’t a clear notice on the website, Yesasia participated in the GUILTY campaign, so it is likely they will be making a similar announcement also.

Ayu recently updated the Team Ayu blog to announce her return to Japan as well as a new song she’s written. As translated by forum member Delirium-Zer0:
And I have no vacation time. Up next is the recording of the new song I’ve written! o/~ o/~ o/~
It’s a REALLY great song, so I’m going to do my best on it! (`_´)v
