why no B&D and Pride....

Hi,



Just wondering Why B&D and Pride are not going to be on A BEST 2. I thought they where great songs and she sung B&D it a lot. It said that song between "evolution" and "B&D/Pride" would be featured. I think it is weird. I guess Avex thinks that sense it didn't sell that well it would bring down sales. What do you all think?

B&D is a great song, no doubt (i love it soo much myself =]) however, if you look at the response of B&D from the general public, u cannot blame avex for making such a choice. This BEST is mean to help ayu recover some of her popularity and prove to others that she can still manage great sales, if ayu only want to include her favourite song, that would piss alot of people off

I believe that the fact that both are technically Sweetbox covers may be the reason, alhtough low sales are a factor as well, in my opinion.

Maybe she'll include it in A BEST 3 or she won't include them at all because they're not really popular with casual fans?

well, i liked the songs, though the get tiring after a while

though it sorta clued in that it would be included if it was from evolution to B&D/PRIDE, so it was weird that it didn't make it

plus, it may be because of the sales, but oh well

It could be how we interpret it/they wrote it

Up to and including B&D/Pride or just up to B&D/Pride...

Oh, come on. A BEST 2 isn't even OUT yet, and you're thinking about an A BEST 3 already?? lol Just kidding.

Maybe she said, "I'm gonna perform it at every concert, so they'll hear the song [Bold & Delicious] plenty of times!"

But, yeah, maybe it would've brought down sales like you said. I have to say that Bold & Delicious is more of a track that could be on a CD like A BEST more than Pride. Pride just doesn't seem as popular/concert crowd pleasing (even though I'm sure a lot of us can say we love it!).

I too find it odd, and love both songs and wish they would be on there. That being said, I have to wonder if maybe there were legal issues with Sweetbox's label/management/whatever, with Ayu using GEO's compositions again? I figure, they worked out the agreement for (miss)understood, but maybe that agreement was for that album alone. Regardless, I figure part of it at least has to be about problems obtaining the rights for use on A BEST 2.
