yup sorry I should have specified XD I meant that I'd like a new a ballads, with her more recent song (together when, you were... etc) and some older classics resung (dearest new vocal etc.)

[visionfactory]

Ayu's one was E BARAADO, this one is BARAADA

[Heavenly]

I think the latest best albums of Ayu wasn't that exceptionnal : no resung songs, no unreleased song (and NO, You & Me doesn't count, because it was overly used past year...). Basically no real new material for fans.
The last real marketing-aggressive BEST were A BEST and A BALLADS.

A BEST 2 was exceptional due to remastered songs

I personnaly never felt something different....

^I think the best example for remastered song is AUDIENCE from A COMPLETE, listen to both you will notice the difference

Besides having A BEST 2 and A COMPLETE remastered, each had its own points.
A BEST 2 having a new song - part of Me which was a new song, a live DVD and its documentary, and like A BEST it featured songs that weren't singles as well. A COMPLETE was a full single collection with a cool box, featured a new single Mirrocle World and had new vocals version for Who... also having a booklet with all her unreleased versions of singles covers up to that, a DVD with unreleased a-nation lives. Except for the fact that best albums usually don't have to offer new things but there's no need to compare or tell anyone to do something like someone else.
You can wish ayu to release an album like namie's Ballada but it's kinda pointless.
Their focal points and marketing teams are very different too. Also, I don't think that namie's thread is a right place for it as well

I dream of BALLADA selling 1million copies and then she sticks to ballads for a while

[orangeakira]

^not only that, but I doubt even a single person was like "hm... an album full of ballads called "ballada" I wonder what that means...no idea" lol
