Before the release of B&D/Pride, ayu was on a very upwards sales slope. (miss)understood would have certainly sold more than MY STORY did, if prior single sales were any indicator. As much as i've come to appreciate the songs, i also very much recognize that single's release as her downfall in regards to sales.
While this BEST compilation may be a ploy to get money, it may also be a way of avex (and perhaps ayu) iterating that everything from that single to BLUE BIRD should be disregarded in the grand scheme of things - afterall, they were pretty much already doing that when deciding Secret would be a mini-album. A BEST 2 as a re-start of sorts.
