Why are people so over dramatic? Even if I think they could have gone more into the direction of AB1, AB2 isn't far from being bad.

The covers fit the theme very much and are much closer to the originals tone than those beauty-shots from a PV shooting (which I still think are cool, but I don't need them as a cover. I have seen enough Kimomo-stuff in my J-Pop-listeners-career. It is not that innovative you know)

Also I like the polished sound of a lot of these songs and it made me go back to listen to more ayu again. She used the release to jumpstart with a new single too, whcih was genrally weel perceived.

More over I think AB2 is a stronger release than A SUMMER BEST.

And lets face it - best of albums aren't really needed anymore. People can simply make a playlist. Low sales are not too surprising for me.
