You're both right.
M was released as a single in 2000, but the first major release was a compilation (A BEST) in 2001.
But, it would still appear on I am..., so it did appear on both.
It's hard to say what is correct with that one, as one could argue that the A BEST album was significantly promoted by the M single...
But, it did appear again on a studio album, so it did not comply to that practice.

I think You & Me has been included because of the PV relations.
Seriously, imagine having the PV on the extra disc to coincide with snowy kiss and Wake me up, but not the actual song on the track list? That would just be weird.

I don't really see A SUMMER BEST in the leagues of another compilation albums like the A BESTs. I saw it as a cute offside release for fans. Perhaps this is also how she see's it? Considering the amount of promotion for it in comparison to like A COMPLETE or A BEST 2 (comparing it to A BEST seems a bit unfair haha), it just doesn't seem as major a release.

It should have been a hidden track, or remixed, or something! xD
