I dont see why people are like that with the best.
Its been 6/7 years... unlike some jpop people, this is SOO long inbetween. lol

One has to admit though, wouldn't it be strange that Ayu would overshadow a studio album with another BEST?

That is if it's the last release in March?

i wish for a real single, but with our luck, it'd be the album trecks from LOVE again :P

I was also wondering, what would be so great about a best album if most fans already own the songs?
One thread was saying that there is always some nifty feature that entices fans

It's so sad that, for those who nocurr about lives, ASB is now 100% useless

^ I always figured that the BEST albums are for non fans.

im thinking another best that spans up too Party Queen.
I would like a remix series...
=)

I don't even wanna know the 5th release until a long time lol

This times by, like, eleventy-bajillion.

Random thoughts~

I think it would kick all sorts of ass if Ayu performed LIMIT or gut-it pez on stage - just for laughs if nothing else. Those songs are still really fun to listen to despite being so "un Ayu".

As much as I love Ayu having such a hand in her album production, Id love if she just relinquished control to someone else and did an album exactly like PERFUME's sound, Namie's sound or even AKB48 or SNSD's Japanese discography. I think it could result in some awesome songs and force her into something really interesting. If it revived her popularity as well she could really start to take back her "Queen of Jpop" title.

I wonder if she'll do a TV special for her anniversary?

Omg a collab with Yasutaka Nakata. That would be epic.
But as much as I love Perfume, I'd like something more like CAPSULE's instead.

Well, just out of curiosity...

A Best covers from Poker Face to M.
A Best 2 covers from evolution to Bold & Delicious/Pride. Officially, it doesn't cover (miss)understood.

If A Best 3 covers from (miss)undertood to How beautiful you are, we have these:

A total of 82 songs

If we don't count (miss)understood: 76
If we don't count songs already released on compilations: 69
If we don't count either: 63

A Best era covers 46 songs
A Best 2 era covers 61 songs

So, we have something between 62 ~ 81 songs to pick up for A Best 3, more than enough...

I actually wouldn't mind A BEST 3 tbh. Everyone keeps talking about how they don't want it.

But ew @ all those songs after RNRC...

it's funny how, when I look at that list...I see her different eras in different colors....and everything after rnrc is like...the same...blah color. PQ has a bit of a different color...but I still don't need any of those songs on the best album.

i would just like to see the extra content that is sure to come with it...
:love
its bound to be amazing.

we should be hearing about the last release this week or next.

Oh god it really is coming
The whole thing better look sexy

And it better have it was.

Why did it take me so long to see Power of Music?! HOLY MOLEY THIS IS THE BEST SHOW EVER!!!! ayu truly is Queen of the Universe <3

i really enjoy it.
I know I was having plans to go, but at the last minute I didnt like the idea... after seeing it on ustream I wish I had seen it.

Should have just gone tbh
If it has ayu's name attached, and it involves seeing her live, then do it.

^ lol, tell me about it... but sadly my money tree that I planted just didnt cut it that year.

A BEST 3 would have to have some REALLY good content for me to think of purchasing... like 3 new songs :P
And 3 new pvs as good as part of Me!

im gonna buy it anyways, but I would like some new stuff as well.

I don't have all the songs that Ayu released that would be in AB3, so it wouldn't be 100% dumb of me to buy.

I wonder how Ayu will top a studio album for the March release. I also wonder if she will release something in April.
