The songs on this best aren't as popular as the ones on CATCHY BEST (i.e. Choo Choo TRAIN, Pure and Gingatetsudou 999). The BALLAD BEST might be the one that does the best out of the 3 though...

It's a BALLAD BEST, Japanese love ballads. Not to mention they'll be on their dome tour when it will be released.

oh yes she's quite popular in Taiwan . Her Vanilla PV's doing pretty well on the Top 10 J & K Pop singles chart in Taiwan as I was watching MTV Mandarin yesterday when they were airing their J & K Pop chart in Taiwan .

At the moment I think she ranked even higher than BoA's latest release .

w-inds's apparently very popular in Taiwan too . Their new album's currently ranked no.2 on the Top 10 J/Kpop album chart . They're being denied the top spot by Super Junior Happy

I think avex only printed out limited amounts copies of B&L ? That I'm not sure but yes B&L didn't sell as well as her 1st 2 BEST compliations .

I put it down to a serious lacking in some of the ballads that she didn't include in the tracklist . She really should have included the Black Cherry ballads to make the tracklist more complete in some manner or sorts .

I don't think Japan likes ballad compliations , A BALLADS didn't sell as well as A BEST & at that time A BALLADS was considered a flop as it failed to sell a million copies
