no way it's going to be a single. it's the same with RAINBOW and A BALLADS. and part of me and A BEST 2.

Great news! And fairyland is in the tracklist. WOW!!
And there will be two new songs... YAY!!

I'm quite sure we'll have another best album despiste this one. If not this year, maybe next year. No need to worry :innocent

Nice release I guess. Might do well because people do like her summer songs. I do sort of wonder what the point was in voting when pretty much every song I can think of seems to be there :s

I guess Avex is on a milking spree then haha. Hopefully if they do decide to release A Best 3 this year/early next this "A SUMMER BEST" doesn't hurt the sales for AB3 considering how close they are/will be.

we're still had Tales of Xillia2 song, and since the game is to be released on November 1st, maybe we'll get new single on October 31st or November 7th.

Hello empty wallet

I think I would have prefered a single with 2-3 new songs..........

Oh well.

oh LOL I have just imagined about a summer best album and it is announced today!~
Btw what is disc "N"? O.o

Well A BEST 3 would probably be next year if anything (2013) as A BEST had this "6 years distance" between the A BEST series with no relation to other compilations so I expect A BEST 3 on March 2013 lol.

Also they probably called it "A SUMMER BEST" and not "A BEST SUMMER" that people wouldn't think it's of the A BEST series lol.

1 BEST per year for avex is pretty normal I suppose. Look at kuu and BIG BANG :P

If that is the cover i'm so happy! and definitely getting the album!! finger crossed

Same here... *sigh*...

only one new song? oh well.

Do you think the tracklist is based on the number of votes ? Let me explain lol Blue Bird the first most wanted , July 1st the second etc... ?

well nope,actually im more interested with a new summer single too,and like you said we already got the compilation from a nation in A Complete. this will be like the latest version of the A Complete with quiet a number of the never unseen performances before.somehow i do hope they will re master the songs and convert the vids to 16:9 (for the older a nation performances) then it worth the money.

ah yes,totally forgot about this! :P and so the 'godly' song shes been talking about is You and Me... or maybe not...
