1. poker face (that fabulous shibuya-kei-ish A BEST LIVE version)
2. POWDER SNOW (something with the buildup of the original but more sophisticated & modern sounding... something in between M and Love songs with a touch of Tell All)
3. monochrome (Power of Music version cuz it kicks me right in the feels)
4. appears (a PROPER ballad redo of it, not that half-assed thing HAL did for A BALLADS)
5. immature (CDM version - just cuz it's so fantastically beefed up, it's a GREAT update to the original and I'd love a CD version!!)
6. Duty (oddly enough I think it's the best executed song in her entire discography already, but the CDM live version just wows the crap outta me, I wanna hear a CD version of it!!)
7. M (Power of Music version)
8. evolution (an AT07-esque slow-start version)
9. still alone (I don't feel like the producers understood the "disillusioned princess becomes a normal girl" feeling that Ayu seems to have wanted for this track, and the "onaji michi" part is so shrill it detracts from how amazing the song could have been... would love to hear a redo)
10. A Song is born (Classical version with vocals. Obviously. Cuz it's gorgeous, and I don't want live versions to be all I have of this!)
11. STEP you (slowed-down CM version, just cuz I'm so curious how it woulda turned out in full! More marching steps than dancing steps, the concept is an interesting one)
12. BLUE BIRD (Ballad version... would be an excellent closer, and I thought the live piano version was lovely.)
