A BEST 2 & ALL SINGLES was a good buy for me because I didn't have any of her stuff pre-RAINBOW.

I think I wanted A SUMMER BEST out of pure habit of wanting anything ayu xD but I would genuinely consider buying A BEST 3 depending on the tracklist and whatever bonus they throw in there because it would feel like an honest "BEST" album. Even ALL SINGLES got that treatment. ASB was a cash-generator.

Without the extreme playback and awful design this time.

A SUMMER BEST was a nice little release imo if you wanted one release with her best summer songs and also organized in a very organic way. It's also a legal mixtape kind of, hahahaha.


I forgive the vocals since she had just broken a few fingers due to a fall a week or two before.

preach it!

MAN!! it makes me want to go to CDL soooo bad!

I mean in terms of setlist...they should bring back the circle stage. I'd rather she lipsync than shout over the band for 3 hours :(

Ayu's vocal chords are in fingers? Explains so much!

I think if LOVE is calling "mini album" it's to maintain some consistency in this project because the other releases will be mini album too (with maybe more songs) ... it isn't very clear what I write isn't it? xD

She was on a lot of pain meds though. I'm sure that effected her concentration on her singing.

Didn't she have surgery for that injury, too?

I was joking but yeah..

She had a cast, can't recall any surgery

Looks way more like a single than a mini album. o.O

I can't remember either. Maybe it was just stitches.

She had surgery before CDL. IIRC, the injury happened around Christmas time or so.

It was a big deal at the time because she missed MUSIC STATION that week too and had to apologize. I think it was the first time she ever missed a scheduled MS?

it reminds me like the single A....
why is it a mini album with more remixes as original Songs??

me likes this desciption :D

I hope for..
November 8th - LOVE
December 8th - A WINTER BEST
January 8th - AYU-MI-X X (Acoustic Orchestra CD1, Remix Club CD2 & CLUB SHOW LIVE DVD)
February 8th (omg my birthday!) - HOTEL LOVE SONGS DVD
March 8th - A SINGLE COLLECTION (Boxset with all 50 singles)
April 8th - A BEST HISTORY -1998 2013- with CDL and A HISTORY photobook (behind the scene and outtakes from 1998 till now)

I should add 'overflowing with pain' to that because I think that's what they were saying in the description...

"溢れる切な" is what they used.

OH MY GOD! That's to good to be true! I was only hoping for a single, but 5 month of releases leading up to her 15th anniversary is just: :blove

late to the part but heeeyyyyy yaaaaay!! finally something new!!! omg excitd now ^^ and finally ayu's song for winter! *_____* please bring some great ballads like Jewel back and the PV *___*

ps: thats a sign that a must start saving from now ! >.<

Shouldn't we have Ayu-mi-x 8 + Ayu-mi-x 9 before 10 (X)? :P Or does X refer to something other than the Roman numeral?

I like the idea of the remix album... and the DVD

and the single collection... AHH!!
And the A BEST HISTORY is a really really good idea!
