so so happy that rainy day will get a remaster! one of my favourite ballads of hers

and yes—talk about curve balls! I guess she's making space for lesser known ballads like HOPE or PAIN and Life, at the expense of some of her more famous songs.

ALSO: kind of disappointed that there are only three covers?

Noooo I don't like very much the 2CD only cover and it is my version :(

:weep I can’t with the fact we only have three covers. Where did the times we had completely different covers for each version went? I’m saaad.
The regular 2CD+DVD is the best among the bad lol

^^The CD only version is my favourite but I'm getting the 2Bluray edition lol. So typical! :laugh

Sorry for double post but:

hmm. it does say "main cover photo" so there seems to be a chance that not all of the covers have been released?

plus, the end of the preview released today says "See you next Saturday" so, there's hope for more covers, it seems?

3rd part of tracklist

The covers are not amazing, but they are OK...

And I hope for winding road and Pride for next week!

Really quick edit I did half asleep as a tribute to the original covers lol

OH MAN THEY SHOULD HAVE HIRED YOU

I hate T-shirts with square pictures, they are so lame

I think the second batch of songs are full of (pleasant) surprises!

Evan I really like your edit!

If the shirt has all three photos in a row across the chest it probably won't look bad but I'm also unlikely to wear it lol

First a light stick then photocards... Avex sees how groups like TWICE print money and decided to go for it haha. I know Ayu did cards back in her early days but I really hope they don't go the kpop route with randomised cards in the future. Maybe a single card in the first press would be a nice bonus but I'm probably getting ahead of myself. At least the value for money is coming out in the package goodies even if the video discs are recycled af

Wow, life, HOPE or PAIN, TODAY, those are rare gems. Setlist is really good and cover photos are amazing. I wonder what will happen next Saturday? Maybe announcement of new PV?

Me. I couldn't care less for the best-of albums lol But i'm glad she's got more action than just touring, so i keep coming back here lol.

I think I like these covers as much as I do because it’s not pink. More of a cooler purple to me. Ayu looks great!

better than A BEST 2 covers a lot, IMO.
A BEST 2 covers look like ayu got beheaded and we would not see her alive again.

For this week I guess they didn’t want to put the full DVD content in YouTube haha

No walking proud (yet)... I hope for next week!
I love the cover where she is lying.lovely
