I would have been happier if they were "mini-albums" with only ONE music video (Missing from "LOVE", "Wake me up" from "again") and really polish "Song 4 u" "Sweet scar" to be exceptional since they do not relate to the story she has been conveying. Instead, "Song 4 u" and "Sweet scar" look lazy, uninspired, and were poorly executed.

What happened to my Ayu that wore 3+ different outfits? (appears) What happened to my Ayu with some scene changes? (Dearest,INSPIRE) What happened to my Ayu that could create and show a story? (Endless sorrow, RAINBOW,GAME,ourselves) The only thing that even comes close is "snowy kiss" but only because it has tons of cut scenes from "You&Me" which is a cop-out.

I hope there aren't three interludes, but just by the placement, I would say task'n'bass, and petal or glasses are interludes. I can't believe You&Me is on the album. Mirrorcle World was not on any albums and I was glad it was kept that way. In the grand scope of things, the economy has been sucking, especially in Japan, and it's like Avex/Ayu are calloused to that fact. Are they not looking at sales? I can't see how they expect to sell in todays economy with repackaged ****!

I was really planning to go to Japan for her 15th Anniversary...now I will wait and see what concert is being held. It better be big and glamorous!

You've got about 5 years up on me in fandom years, my thoughts exactly. I wonder what A BEST era would think of this......or the Ayu that filmed alterna?
