It's useless to translate it all so I'll do a quick resume :
Page 1 : (Why a new best-of?)
-They say that 2007 & 2008 are best-of years between Kumi, Namie EXILE or B'z. They do a little Ayu presentation : her singles & albums always rank first on the first day and she stays 4th in global sales with 47M CD's... They say too that the A COMPLETE is about to be released on 10th September (six years and a month after A BEST and one year & a half after A BEST 2). They describe A BEST 2 a little, its sales (1,4 M copies) and its four editions (a best 2 white CD, CD+2DVD, a best 2 black CD, CD+2DVD).
- They notice that Japanese like best of very much and they sell very well (blue square on the top)
- (blue right square) They say that Kumi is Best-of Queen with her three best-of released in 2005-2006-2007, and EXILE sold a lot of best in a few time, and B'z are the most famous with 75M copies sold.
Page 2 :
They say Ayu did a little break after GUILTY to focus on her tour, they wonder why release this A COMPLETE, they say that she's considered as the Queen of J-Pop, and that she fully controls her career (they refer to Secret which was meant to be a mini-album, and then Ayu decided at the last minute that it will be a full album). They say she's not fond of best-of, they tell A BEST story. People criticized Ayu, they said that she's releasing A COMPLETE to compete with Namie for Best Selling Album of the year.
Page 3 :
- blue square below on the left : they present Avex trax, saying it's one of the most famous record company in Japan with Toshiba EMI, Sony Music and GIZA. They talk about the subgroups like Rhythm Zone, where Kumi, EXILE are...
-blue square on the top right : they say that a-nation is the year event made by Avex Trax where their most famous artists sing.
-They say Ayu compete with Namie who has 3 more years of career than her. They say that hardcore fans were pleased by the announce of the release of A COMPLETE, the DVD with unpublished lives can make people buy it. They say that she has not released anything for 5 months, so this best is a way to be implicated again. They speak too about TA where Ayu announced the recording of GREEN. It's cheap, so collectors will buy all the editions. They say that covers did not pleased all fans because of its resemblance with A BEST 2 WHITE booklet, and the colors refer to GUILTY. Fans hoped that songs were resung but they were only remastered like for A BEST 2, so people maybe won't buy something they bought one year and a half ago.
Page 4 :
-They say ranking was predictable, 1st on the 1st day and then lower sales, and they speak about competition with B'z best-of. Ayu sells very high on the first days but after it's falling but she's able to stay on the run, and they add that they hope it will sell as much as A BEST 2.
Square on the top on the left : they talk about A BEST 2, which sold 3 800 000 copies in Asia.
- They recommend 3 Ayu albums :
I am... : best Ayu album. Contains rock songs (evolution SURREAL (huge mistake it's in Duty XD) and UNITE!), dance (Connected) and pop (M, Dearest, no more words) They say you can't get tired of it.
MY STORY : They say it's in the same kind as I am... except some songs are not on the same level. Rock songs (about you, GAME, catcher in the light) which are the most attractive in the album. Ayu put a subject in each song, and she improved her melodies which are incredible.
(miss)understood : most entertaining 2006 album, with pop songs (ladies night, step you) which have a lively and provocative rhythm, and more sensitive songs like fairyland or HEAVEN. A good vocal demo.
Over! I'm sorry if I made mistakes in english
