Well, her facial expression would be reflective ;_;... Maybe the CD+DVD could have her with A Song for XX and the CD could have her with poker face, I dunno, it was just an idea >.>

I do like the idea of present Ayu being in a past Ayu setting. Maybe something a little different than GRACE's idea though because having a material item like that on the cover would be weird... haha

I agree. Why would she when she releases a PV DVD with every album nowadays. It's a waste

Well, I was going to say a photo from the poker face photo shoot, but then I thought it'd be too vague. Or, they could have Ayu looking into the mirror and reflect her back as poker face Ayu, I'm sure they could get it to work with modern technology.

I don't think that sort of cover would sit well with fans. Like sure, it's a nice concept, but for a single best?

The covers will either be extremely extravagant and shot by Leslie Kee, or it'll go the route of many single bests and not even feature her on the cover.

PLEASE be the former and not the latter. I'm going to barf if it is.

[I'd say that the concept of Ayu using outfits from her single covers would be best imo. Like, she's imitating her old looks, but with a new Ayu flair. I dunno about setting, as a black or white room would be fine with me... but like, she'd have 5 of her on one cover, and another 5 on another, and the rest of the "looks" are in the album booklet [no not the extra PB.]

Basically, she'd be doing the covers like this, with multiple Ayus in the same photo. Glamorous and classy, imo.]

Leslie Kee did a similar shot to the concept I'm talking about with Yuming [Yumi Matsutoya, Ayu is often compared to her], except really ugly.

Really, I'd think the whole reflective, Ayu 10 years ago and Ayu now is perfect for a 10th anniversary theme o_o

It's perfect for anyone's Xth anniversary, but I don't think everyone does it necessarily because it's extremely predictable, and it'd be like "Oh, we saw that from a MILE AWAY."

wouldnt it be funny if like, her old songs got re-tied in? haha but that wont happen :P i think the only promotion this will get is like...bilboards, posters, a CM, and magazines. maybe she'll go sing old songs on tv shows...but she did that with a best 2...i dont think shed do it again *shrug*

does anyone think that the cover wont feature ayu at all? i feel like it'll just be a giant A...and the alternate cover would be different colors or something...iunno :P im hoping for something more than that, though. or mybe the box will just be a giant A? haha xD im gunna stop talking :P

It'll be interesting to note that this best is HUGE. I wonder if they'll just have 3 booklets, one for each CD... and with like, no new photos.

Oi, this is becoming somewhat disappointing in my head right now, since it might come out really really really cheap.

^That's what the "box" or whatever the first press comes in will be like, for sure, not sure about the disc cases inside though >.>

So far, it's just called an anniversary box.

There's not even any information other than that, so how can you assume something like that with no proof? Sure, it's likely, but... don't assume that it'll be anything, especially since we have no idea how it'll turn out.

^I made it an assumption by writing "for sure"... That's my honest assumption of what the box itself will have on it.

But that's too concentrated on poker face. There should be something that has a 'through the ages' feeling. How about a 2 by 5 segmentation of the cover showing something from each year, maybe the unreleased album covers of asfxx to guilty.

^It makes sense to focus on poker face since that was her debut. Although, she could have pictures all around her of her first singles. That'd be cool too.

Well, they used to release PVs in separate filmographies right and it was still re-released as a Complete Clip Box. But perhaps with PVs being more accessible through downloads and DVDs that comes with albums and singles, this is not so viable anymore. But you know how it is, the japanese industry just likes to compile and release. I'm just saying i'll not be surprised if a second collection of PVs are released.

i hope it will be something surprising.
and maybe cover will be something in A Bests style?? like her HUGE face and nothing more)))

Well, with Wacoal and the wonders of gaining a little weight + push up bra's, it might actually be Ayu's HUGE something else this time, bwahahaha. :P I kid, I kid. :innocent


(:lech)

I so gona get this box ^^

can't wait until it is out

i hope it can get a million sales
