OMG.. the covers are just CUTE!! :thud :heart :luv2
so she covers some English songs for her new Best Album?

@neme: omg, i wanna see ayu doin' that!! :laugh

i like the covers, they're really cute!
but i'm not sure how i feel about the release in general. :P

i'm more interested in the original album though. :)

xDDD
LOVE.iT
ok neme! :)

OMG!
Now you mention it...
did you all forget the line in the bible about the apocalypse starts when ayu pee on NEXT LEVEL!?

Yeah this TIME WARP thing is everywere now!

Namie's PAST < FUTURE Cover
Ayu's Future Classics's
Kuu's new Cover

These covers are 1000x better IMO, and her best covers all year. She finally looks cute/natural and like she isn't trying so hard. No wigs, no gross expressions, no dirt, no ugly clown make-up :heart

oh, cool! I can't wait for this!

I also like these covers better than the "originals." I hated her expressions in a lot of the second best pictures, and I really dislike how they showed a lot of her flat booty, lol. :X Besides, her hair looks surprisingly adorable here. :heart

I hope they will change a bit about the Tracklist!

Like add only the A-Sides from 恋のつぼみ til stay with me+ 1 new Song on the BEST ~third universe~ CD and add an Intro, 走れ！ and TRICK -Full Version- to her 8th Album UNIVERSE!
This would be perfect!

wait...so she's also gonna have a new studio album too, right? called "UNIVERSE"? :shrug

but anyway, those covers are sooo cute! i remember when second session was released :weep when is this BEST album and new studio album being released, btw? (sorry i'm slow :tipsy)

Seriously...what's with Avex's new theme of featuring old covers? Atleast Kumi looks good on her cover....natrual and not overly made up and photoshopped :rolleyes

Yes. The best is called "BEST ~third universe~" and the studio album is called "UNIVERSE". :yes

those covers are MEGA DUPER SUPER CUTE! :heart Kuu is just adorable when she's herself~ but I hope the track lists gets changed though lol; Cherry Girl is a MUST. I think it's one of her more popular songs in that era..

I like that she's combining a best album with a studio album since I'm assuming it will be a lot more affordable. The covers are the cutest I've seen in a long time from anybody!

This might be my first physical Kuu purchase since I'm familiar with plenty of the songs in this new Best album (unlike her other Bests) and as a plus I get a new album too~~

^I figure that the new album is bundled with her 3rd best because otherwise it wouldn't sell very well on its own. If fans want the new album they'll have to get B~3U~, even if most of the stuff is fairly recent. I know I probably wouldn't get if it didn't have a new studio album with it (though I might if it had a new concert, but that's not part of the deal ... :: grumbles ::).

Oh wait... didn't she say she'd be releasing a Best album for her 10th Anni.? I thought that would be at the end of the year. I hope that doesn't mean she'll release another one at the end of the year.

^ Maybe a b-side best or a fan compiled best?

Knowing her, she'll release bests all year.

As much as I love Kumi, I'm going to have to give a rather unenthusiastic "yay..." to that. Mind you, I'll change my mind if even one of them includes one or more of the lives she did this year that she's never released. :: shakes fist at nonexistent dvds ::

Yeah, I think if I end up getting this release, it'll be the original album. I pretty much have all of the albums (and some of the singles) these songs are on so.... Buying the best would be a super huge waste of money for me. Anyway, these look more like a single collection than her actual "best" songs.

^I don't think you can get the original album separately :x It's either 2cd+dvd, 2cd or best cd + chaku uta download of the original album which won't work if you're not living in japan.

but this is actually a best best aswell as a single collection. all those singles have charted in the top 5 with a number of #2's and quite a few #1's.
