Just what I was thinking. xD Because it wasn't stated to be a best with ballads, but a lovesong best. "Sakuranbo" is also a lovesong, so I thought they might include also upbeat tracks. Actually seeing it on the tracklist is a little funny. I thought they might also include LOVE songs, because that would fit the title. ^^;

I like that they included B-sides and also new recordings. I'd say they will be rearranged, because new vocals aren't really needed. They carry of quite much from "LOVE LETTER". First the "BYE BYE" re-cut, now "OnexTime" PV. Perhaps in the hope this will make "LOVE LETTER" sell more. I wonder how attractive this release will be for the casual listener. Specially without the inclusion of some of her hits, like "Kingyo Hanabi" and "PLANETARIUM".

It's weird to release a best of now when there's probably hardly any news on Ai anywhere. "BYE BYE" was released in February, right? It might have been better to release a single before-hand, whether it would make it on the best or not. But maybe perfomances of the new song are planned. Otherwise this new album might not do too well. By the way, how much did "Ai am BEST" sell?
