Even though it's been on 2 out of 3 of the previous best albums. And she sings it on almost ever tour, although I don't mind that because it's a good song to get the audience to sing along with since it's so popular. The fact of the matter is it's overplayed, so no need to be mean to them because they realize it too. They honestly do not need this song released on yet another album.
I'm pretty disappointed by this. I really hope some of the older, over-used songs are re-arranged or at least re-recorded (Such as evolution, Boys & Girls, UNITE, . I'm hoping for a re-arrangement similar to how they're played live these days. Why is Sunrise/Sunset even on there? And ANother Song was JUST on last year's mini album. WTF, Ayu, what what WHAT are you doing.
If NONE of these songs are re-recorded, I am just going to buy You & Me off iTunes as other suggested. The only songs I really like on this album were all re-mastered for A Complete. F this album. She should have done this similar to A Ballads with the rearrangements and the two new songs, etc. I've never felt this disgusted over an Ayu release before, but the way things are looking, this album is going to be crap. |
You're allowed to have your own opinion, but I have to say that this post makes it like YOU're the one on the condescending high horse.
First off, the point of a "BEST"-album is to show off an artists BEST songs/greatest hits. This particular best-album is meant to show off Ayu's summer hits, of which one of the biggest happens to be Boys & Girls, so I don't see any reason why that song shouldn't have been included.
Second, some of Ayu's newer releases were also included because this best-album isn't specialised on showing off a specific Ayu era, it's meant to show off Ayu's summer hits over her whole career. Sunrise ~LiA~ was a relatively big hit for Ayu, though I'm not sure about Sunset/ANother song (but I'm pretty sure both of those did well on digital charts).
Third, I'm surprised at the way you seem to take such personal affront by this album. Not every Ayu release is going to satisfy you, if you don't like something you can ignore it, one single album won't ruin your world, Ayu won't come knocking on your door if you don't buy her releases.
So calm down. I'm fine with your dislike of this album, but you don't need to act as if this is somehow personal. Releasing albums that are in essence, unnecessary, is part of the money-milking that music labels thrive on, they don't force you into liking or buying any of it. You can keep on living your life as you wish, you can buy or not buy any release from Ayu you want to.
When it comes to my own opinions on this album, I can agree that the album isn't all that necessary, but I don't own many of Ayu's albums yet so filling my collection with some more songs (including a completely new one) plus a DVD with Ayu's a-nation performances is good enough reason for me to buy it.
