Well, if they had been included, the price probably would've gone up 500-600yen or so.

This is probably as much as they can offer for 4800yen, you know?

They could've probably squeezed in 2 more songs on the 3rd disc to fill it up.

I can pretty much see them squeezing in a random song like how Memorial address was attached to part of Me.. A BEST 2 without Memorial address is ...... 73:17, while with it, it's around 77:23.

We'll see when we get the release, I guess.

Why is everyone complaining about the price? This is cheap! :thud

exactly

to pay 3800 Yen for a 3 CDs compliation's dirt cheap in Japan . You just need to top up 1000 Yen to get the DVD .

To the Japanese , that's their equivalent of S$38 & S$48 in here

It does seem really cheap...

Do you think avex is pricing it that way so as to sell more, and have ayu maybe get a better chart position?

^could be

but I think it is a pretty good bargain for a 3CD + DVD compilation

So it will be like johnny's boybands' singles which are very cheap?

I will be the 3CD + 1DVD for sure, but 3CD seems pretty redundant for me, unless its cover is really very nice.

Woow O_O
This is awesome.

But I think they shouldn't of have released A BEST 2 last year >_>.
And I think they should have put all the performances from Ayu at a-nation on the DVD xDD Since HANABI at '05 is like.. My fav performance ever!
</end rant>

I'm gonna get the 3CD+DVD one. It's so cheap @_@

The reason I think it is pretty cheap is because it doesn't take a lot of production costs to produce this new compilation. Throw together some album work, include some old un-released footage, the latest single and a re-recorded version of a classic.

but avex COULD and, normally, WOULD charge a lot more for something like this

Exactly. That's a reason why avex churns out so many of them in a year.

So, um, HMV axes the price down to 3885JPY in you order it online, which means that for $50, it's yours.

i do think it is cheap to buy. and i hope the OS version will be correspondingly cheap too!

Yeah and I hope the price stays this way and doesn't go up or anything..

it's as cheap as almost any CD+DVD Japanese ver. album, plus the release has 3CDs, I can't really see why all the complaining.

Does anyone think that the new song that Ayu's working on will be included with this? Or do you think it will be for a new single?

I think that A BEST 2 was fine to come out last year as it had PVs, CDL 06-07, and the documentary film (That's why I mainly picked it up well for the concert really, most of the PVs I had)

OMG! this is the first time ill be ordering a first press edition via CDJAPAN. i hope i get the 1st press goodies :D

am so excited. just in time for Ayumi's big album collection.

I think it will come out as a new single. It's too weird that a release which encompasses 10 years of ayu's accomplishments will have a random new song. I'll probably look forward to the DVD for TA and a-nation performances more than the 3 CDs haha...

if you put it in that manner , yes

that's true , at most avex just have to pay for the remastering production

For me I hope the OS press (which's very likely will be the 3 CDs + DVD) will come with the photobook , do your work Warner SG !
