Hi Inori, I'm not one of those people who thinks A-BEST was formulated entirely to be in competition with Distance but I'm not closed to the idea that once both releases were announced there may have been a little bit of hype generated in both camps.
I think A-BEST 2 was something Ayu would have agreed to. Considering her feelings about A-BEST and her power now, they would have had more chance of getting a camel through the eye of a needle than trying to force a best-of on her again.
She probably felt, like I do, that after 9 years in the business it was entirely fitting. Maybe not nessesary but not a huge shock.
And she was probably reassured when A-BEST did not magically end her career as she had feared (or something like it) and so knew that it wouldn't do her much harm.
Despite the fact I think she had better feelings about A-BEST 2 she still took the effort to make it worth buying buy recording the new song etc. Classic Ayu.
