A Complete is a compilation album just like her best albums are. Therefore, they belong in the same category. Don't try to make this Summer Best album seem more "fresh" by craftily manipulating semantics.
The truest, most accurate post in this thread.
And some of y'all need to stop speculating about what other Ayu fans buy and don't buy and stop using your unfounded conclusions to paint them as bad people. It's illogical and unattractive.

I think you'll need to do more homework 1st before commenting =)
Not all ayu's singles are number 1 in oricon. And even if it took number 1, it doesnt mean that it's a hit song (eg. Bold & Delicious. Hardcore fans just buy for the sake of collecting) and singles that doesn't reach number 1, doesn't mean that it's not a hit song (eg. TO BE, Fly high, AUDIENCE.)
Take a loot here if you wana know which single didn't hit number 1

And I didn't say that I don't take this Summer Best as a Best album. But it kinda fall into a different category as it has a theme : SUMMER
And as I've said before regarding A COMPLETE, IMO I don't think it should be regarded as a BEST album. You can call it a compilation album, but definately not BEST (do you call poker face, For My Dear..., Daybreak, Ｂｏｌｄ ＆ Ｄｅｌｉｃｉｏｕｓ etc... a BEST song? I doubt so.

That was regarding A BEST as she felt that it was too sudden and made her felt like it's gonna be her last album.
Therefore she rebelled by making new recordings on some songs. But on the other hand, she wana give her best for this release thus appearing on almost all of the major magazine front cover and doing lots of promotions for this.
