I wonder if avex and ayu wishes and would make some promotion work.
A BEST is so mono no aware for the Japanese so it might work. |
anyone know if there will be any TA version?
I don't wanna do the same error I did on Arena 2015, preorder on cdjapan, and lost the TA version |
Ta Versions and TA/mu-mo Pre-Order Links are usally revaled later, so atm nobody canīt tell you if there will be a TA Version.
|
I'm holding my finger from clicking "proceed" on CDJ now...
|
If there's a TA version I wonder how much more it's gonna cost lol My GUESS is that there won't be, but maybe we'll get something more next week...

^ Not really XD I just don't want to repeat the same mistake for the Arena Tour 2015
|
Well I already ordered from amazon.co.jp so I'll be annoyed if they announce it later. I don't get why they do that. Shouldn't be too difficult to cancel though if need be.
|
That's why I don't pre-order until they post the TA shop/mu-mo order links these days lol
|
Almost 10000 yen!? So pricey!!!

Like when KARA re-released all of their singles in one release, it sold 1,300 copies only but because it was frigging expensive the agency got lucrative returns |
I already have A best and enough of other expensive things that collect dust. So not gonna be getting this.

I wish they also make a cover versions of the album by other artists like she did with Hikki and Globe.

I have a doubt about the t-shirt in the deluxe version, if they send it randomly also they send randomly size and gender? Iīm doubting about bought this or not, itīs so expensive. :(
|
^ I guess the T-shirt will be free size
|
I think the shirts might just be black shirts with the pic for the cover of A Best and the 6 alternative covers for the first press.
|
No POWDER SNOW or As if, who cares? :chipons
|
POWDER SNOW is great.
|
I can understand As if... not making the tracklist of the original A BEST, but I REALLY do think POWDER SNOW should have been on there. It was a pretty big factor in her first album reaching number one.
I wish this version of A BEST was gonna correct the mistakes of the original version by including songs like POWDER SNOW, monochrome, and evolution that REALLY should have been included, and using the HAL's mix of Fly high instead of the album version. |
Since it's avex you're probably getting a password to enter a website, choose your tee size and see a pic of it but you can't download or buy it, only stream it. And it'll be up half an year after the re-release is out.
|
Well, ayu picked the songs for A BEST so maybe she didn't like it as much at the time (POWDER SNOW)
|
This does give her a chance to rest her voice and focus on her tour without being locked away recording, and keeps avex happy with a release. Though we will probably get SEASONS or M if she does a tv live performance :(

The fact that it's her best selling album is just tragic irony. |

me want
|
Come on !! If avex is not interested to invest in Ayu anymore so it must be the same for nearly all there artists under the label ... Beside the LDH family/namie Amuro they don't have any big artists ! AAA have a decent success but that's it !
|
ayu made so much money for avex. we shouldnt even consider that avex dont want to.
|
Avex doesn't really invest in any of thei "Avex" label artists. Even AAA have pretty basic videos that don't require a lot of funding.
The artists on sub labels tend to have very different budgeting. Avex used to sell based on name alone. It can't do that now. (No label can) |
ayu really exciting about this release. I don't get why
Quote:
|
She hated this release when it came out and several years after that, so "making it better than 15 years ago" must mean she rejoiced about it lol
|
I don't think anyone expects Ayu to heavily market this release. Hopefully she does a magazine or two which feature interviews that focus on her reflection on A BEST fifteen years on, and incorporates a few tracks into MADE IN JAPAN. Maybe we will get a TV live too, but this really is a celebratory release, I cannot imagine huge expectation placed upon it by Avex and Ayu.

I would be surprised if she's not proud of this album. As what you have mentioned, she would hate the company or the person who had made the decision. It might even be a gimmick during that time to make the sales. But looking back at A BEST now, I'm sure she is proud of it. |

Ayumi Hamasaki still selling cdīs so donīt act like she has seikoīs career in the present day. Obviously not the same amount of numbers like before, but you canīt compare the same type of public like old days... come on guys, a group called AKB48 itīs a definitive way to compare the difference of something hot in music today.

And Also, Seiko itīs the living proof that a singer can continue to make good music to her loyals fans no matter the sales. Because some people act like Ayu MUST retire forever. |
When I saw Ayu changed her profile and cover photo of her facebook with A BEST covers, I only thought that it was just a commemoration of the album's release fifteen years ago but when they announced that she's re-releasing it my emotions were mixed up! I prefer the songs to be just re-mastered than to be re-recorded. Those songs are great in their own ways already in my opinion because honestly I'm really not fond of her new vocals. SORRY.
I'm excited with other stuff of deluxe version especially the shirt. |
Quote:
|
I'm actually a bit confused... They don't mention the re-recording in the English version of the news, but then it says "15年の月日を経て、新たなayuの歌声に出会える...。" in the Japanese one, and it seems to mean "After 15 years, you can meet the voice of a new Ayu" or something like that... I wonder what that means.
|
Ok I just noticed the T-shirt will come in 7 different designs right?
And there are 7 different covers of A BEST hmmm.... |
Quote:
|
It will be great if the stuff is all on new arrangement and new vocal
|
Quote:
|
more into this than her new album.. imho
|
I think 'a new Ayu' in a sense where Ayu was the new in artist in the industry
|
Ok, I just preordered from CDJapan :love
|
I just pre-ordered 2 versions from CDjapan. :)
|
Maybe she will do new vocals for the songs that had new vocals, in its first release
|
The TA shop and mumo preorder links are already available. The deluxe box comes with a poster and the regular edition comes with a slipcase
|
■Bonus item details:
Limited LUXURY BOX Edition TeamAyu, mu-mo shop: A BEST Plastic Poster (A3 size) ※ Reprinted edition design Regular Edition TeamAyu, mu-mo shop: Sleeve Case ■TeamAyu Official Shop International shipping (PC ONLY) http://shop.mu-mo.net/st/fc/TAK.html ■mu-mo Shop International shipping (PC ONLY) http://shop.mu-mo.net/avx/sv/list1?j...ateg_id=662501 |
OMG!!! Slipcase??? The CDJapan one probably not the slipcase. :(
|
The Sleeve Case is an additional item for ordering @ TA/mu-mo
It has nothing to do with the CD itself. |
hopefully the limited edition will still be available when i go to preorder it on tuesday! i don't get paid until then!
|
Sorry, I confused slipcase and sleeve case. I wonder what a sleeve case is though?
|
I guess just some small kind of bag/case, like for a smartphone.
|
Similar to the AT 2005 My Story DVD sleeve case?
https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i...i2FohvuVYbUjLQ |
^ Yeah, I thought slip case and sleeve case were the same haha I guess we'll see...
|
Really like this Album but it's sad that she'll doesn't do a re-recording :( would be great to listen to her songs with her voice today...
|
I wonder if they'll do a 10th anniversary re-release of AB2 with a blu-ray next year..
|
I guess the sleeve case is the one that come with the first press of the first release of A BEST. Maybe the 15th anniversary version have a new design of the artwork.
|
TA version announced. Bonus gift: A BEST Clear Poster (A3)

^That's what I meant. :P
Although for some reason the wording threw me off. with the limited luxury box. but I guess that's all the limited editions, right? |
^items appeared at TA/mu-mo shop, so seems that's all versions
|
I'm so excited! I just preordered my A BEST limited edition copy!!!! although i have to admit, i'm only buying it for the photobook and the tshirt lol
|
The sleeve case might be a goodie no (like for a phone or whatever) ?
It seems weird to have a slip case as a bonus only for a TA "regular" version. Some are mixing up "slip case" and "sleeve case" I think ? |
Quote:
1 - limited edition, free gift = clear poster 2 - regular edition, free gift = sleeve/slip case it's the same. Just an additional box to the cd casing. There is no TA special edition. Whether u buy from TA or mu-mo, it's the same. Only difference is the reg or limited edition which comes with additional blu ray, DVD and t-shirt. |
I still can't wrap my head around the idea that the limited edition will include both a DVD and Blu-ray disc with the same content. I preordered that version so it's not like I'm complaining, I just don't get it.
|
I'm not against the idea of 15th anniversary version of A Best, but, in my opinion, is even better if she re-sing and re-record it and released it as 15 years anniversary version.
Spoiler:
|
it probably won't have a new cover, but i would LOVE if she did like the same poses and black and white scale of the original, but with what she looked like now. that would be amazing! if it was a re-recorded album that would work, but the covers will probably still be the same for this re-release huh?

I'd be totally against a re-recording of the A BEST tracks tbh. If it was like a bonus disc with the songs reworked and new vocals then maybe, but not for the main release. |
Just make them metallic or shimmery lol like Memorial address
|
|
Hey eyes in that cover look so beautiful and dark.
|
cover
http://i.imgur.com/wEEDVibl.jpg handwritten lyrics of "appears". It will be published at the anniversary book with the notes from 浅田真央(figure skater), 宇野維正(music / movie journalist), 仲里依紗(actress), 藤井美保(music writer), 古市憲寿(sociologist) http://i.imgur.com/5z44cue.jpg |
It'll be interesting to see what a sociologist has to say about the lyrics. xD
|
The lyrics in the screenshot do not match exactly what she actually sings in the song. It seems to be first draft or something.

bigger appears picture
Spoiler:
|
It would be cool if the songs she re-recorded in the original A BEST (example: Trust) were just re-recorded again for this. She wouldn't have to re-sing every song, just those 3(?).
|
Even with a T-shirt, don't you think 9,720 yen is too expensive?
T-shirt is usually 3000 yen-ish, so shouldn't the limited edition be like 6000~7000 yen? |
^ well, the CD+DVD is normally around 4000 yen, if I recall correctly, so it's around 7000 yen plus the "anniversary book" and a blu-ray, so I guess it's not that unjustified
|
It would be fun if the new cover was actually this same pose, but with all the crew of make up artist, hair stylist, the photografer, and all that "off shoot" feel, showing how was the process of creating such an iconic picture for her career.
Something like this: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ge9qi3Hblt...25281%2529.jpg |
They could have made the cover one of those reflective covers that change picture when you hold it a skewed angle. Maybe have the original cover then if you look at it from an angle then it's a recreation of the old photo but in colour?
|
It's odd enough to me that they decided to re-release A BEST during her 17th anniversary, why they just didn't wait till 20th?
|
^ because it's not about ayu's career anniversary, it's about A BEST's 15th anniversary. Just like First Love had a 15th anniversary re-release a couple of years ago.
|
I came into some money and I'm contemplating if I should buy the anniversary edition or not. I mean I'd really love an Ayu t-shirt as long as it's free size or something.
|
I believe ayu has released the covers on facebook, if I saw correctly, basically an alternate shot with a bit of colour over it.
I saw a post from her on facebook from her account but cant seem to find it again. I only saw it in my newsfeed |
I had a proper look again on facebook and I couldn't find the post. It said it was from ayus page, it had 4 of the same picture with a little different colour thing going from one corner to the other, with the title and 15th anniversary in it. Though once I came here thinking it had been commented on here, go back to facebook to not find it :S It might of been what it looked like with the sleeve/slip case
|
^there is nothing on her facebook maybe they delete the photo.
