The tracks are not just being put there, they're being remastered, that alone makes this release worthy for me.
Plus the second Dvd performances are not found on other releases (At least, the four performances shown.)

^because it was the quittessence of "its a compilation album, don't be dramatic". i think stating that this release falls flat is not dramatic. I best most people don't even get worked up on this, but they won't buy it anymore which in the end is a problem in the bigger picture of ayus career.

Oh, okay

disappointed in the dvd/bluray content so far... what can they reveal next week?

most likely the ballads from 2010–onwards, part of the finished Pray for you, aaaaaaand the jacket cover art at the last few seconds of the preview.

Even though it's a lazy release I'm still happy with remastered versions. :) But I still can't see why they decided to make this A Ballads 2 instead of another digital compilation like they do for other artists. If only they released the live versions on CD instead of the studio versions. I prefer Ayu's live vocals over her studio vocals.

Omg

I hope ayu can learn from Namie Amuro who seriously to make new re-reconding (or new mix) on Best Album，that is a reason for why Namie's BALLADA would have sold very good

I really liked the surprise of releasing two TV performances! I wonder if they will also add Virgin road performance from Kouhaku! I'm hoping for more unreleased tour content like the CDL Touble! :)

So do we get one Bluray of PVS and a second Bluray of lives? I'm a little confused...

Her classic ballads included. I'm not surprised and I like the tracklist. The odd thing is the release of A BALALDS 2 instead of A BEST 3, it would be much more interesting to release the latter on her debut anniversary.

At this point I think A BEST 3 might end up being A BEST -FINAL- with 8 discs released upon her eventual retirement...

I got a feeling that ayu is not very personally enthusiastic about release, except for recording maybe the new song. Otherwise her instagram will have a lot more teasers, think about Ohia no hi, DaD, or even TROUBLE

Ooo okay thanks for the info, I haven't checked the website check. :)

what are the chances for new songs like pray for you?

The only thing that really annoys me is the 4:3 aspect ratio and non-HD quality of Kouhaku's Moments performance. We have that in HD since forever and they're gonna release this in an upscaled version???

And about Ayu enthusiasm: she always made it very clear she's more into live performances than releasing albums. She's a great album producer, but she's an even greater performance. The stage is her home, so I'm not surprised at all about this.

I'm disappointed with video content

I hope there's more content in this album or else I won't be buying it. One new song or two new songs with a high budget music video would seal the deal for me.

Glad I saved my money.
