I don't think anyone has a right to tell someone to be mad or not to be mad at this. If you don't mind spending out more for the album that is fine, but also understand why people are angry with it. 'LOVE' and 'Again' were marketed as 'mini-albums', not singles, and they were marketed to have 5 mini-albums over 5 months, giving people the perception that all albums would be with new content, and not recycled from the previous mini-albums. Avex let people believe that 'LOVE' and 'Again' are albums of their own and would not be recycled, because they knew if they announced them as singles or that there would be an album in February, they would not sell as well, because some people like myself can't afford to buy songs twice, and prefer to wait for the album with all songs on it instead of buying the singles. That doesn't make us all bad fans, it just means our money sometimes has to be spent elsewhere then on singles and different versions of those singles. XD

I still love Ayu, and yes sometimes it gets annoying to see people complain about her releases all the time, but try to understand logically why people are annoyed at this release in particular. I personally believe Avex did pull a sneaking marketing trick on people for this one, and while I have NEVER been disappointed from a previous Ayu release, I am disappointed about this one.
