^^It's not that simple. She wanted to release a best later, with proper time to execute it (like she did with A Best II and A Complete) and this is what she hated. It has to be taken into consideration that it's not rare in the jpop market for a compilation at the end of a streak of (usually) 3 succesful albums to be the last breath on someone's relevance in the market. It was pretty common for someone decline from a million seller to someone selling 300k, 200k overnight after the first compilation album was released, and in a way it was how the labels ended the shelf life of an idol on a high note while she was still profitable.
But A Best didn't end Ayu's relevance, it actually turned her into a cultural icon.
