I feel really old upon realizing this, but it has been over 7 years since I first organized the fan selected best album, A FAVORITES, here at AHS! For those of you who don't remember-- it was a version of A BEST of sorts, but the tracklist was voted on by members here. This is what the finished product looked like:

Since it has been so long, and Ayu has released so much new music since her 10th anniversary year, I thought I would see if anyone was interested in partaking in the creation of an "A FAVORITES II?"
Some of you will also remember the failed remix version of this. 
For those interested, the process went like this:
Step 1 -- Nominating process; members nominate between 1 and 10 songs of their choosing over one to two weeks.
Step 2 -- Cover art competition; anyone interested will have two weeks to submit a cover for the album.
Step 3 -- Voting; finally, we vote on the best cover and the best songs and compile the winners together as "A FAVORITES II"!
For the original project, every "original mix" or album version of a song was eligible beginning with "poker face" and ending with "Days / GREEN." It spanned the years 1998-2008. So if enough people are interested in this, we can pick up where we left off and start with "Rule / Sparkle" and end with her M(A)DE in JAPAN album!
If you're interested or have any ideas or suggestions, please post here. If there's enough response, I'll go ahead and set up a thread for the nominations!
