Honestly, this just sounds like a really expensive way for them to release the new song. Excuse the language, but they really are just taking the piss with this release. One song and material that's already been released twice? No thanks. Happening Here and theme of a-nation do not make up for it. A cheap digital single (and a cover) and a CD I'm sure is dirt cheap second hand.

Why not just release a single? Like people have said, this doesn't even make sense as a BEST for casual buyers, because all these songs are on the other BEST collections, and for hardcore fans it's even more redundant - we have the single, the album, the BEST :S

Avex cash cowing at it's best :/ I am now 99% sure we're never getting another single.

Reading this thread back I have to ask, did some of you sign a contract agreeing to buy every product with Ayumi Hamasaki's name on it? This isn't aimed at us, it's for casual Japanese fans that have probably downloaded ringtones of these songs over the years. I'm sure Ayu will have an album for us at the end of the year, that will be two albums of new material this year but probably still not enough for some of you.

evolution single
I am...
A BEST 2
A COMPLETE
A SUMMER BEST

That means the hardcore fans will have bought the exact same version of evolution five times.

That promo pic looks promising. I haven't liked an album cover since... A COMPLETE?

The DVD is pretty much what sold me. Plus, even though I own A BEST 2 and A COMPLETE, a part of me is still excited about the summer compilation. More so than I was before.

some people don't care about it

It wouldn't make me buy it...even though I do care about it.


But I mean, I like the release. I'm never against bests... this one just kinda reflects Ayu's whole management's attitude toward her stuff.

Like, just repackage things all pretty, don't do anything new....just because it's ayu, people will buy it. Don't worry about functionality.


Which...that's fine. Whatever they want to do. I wouldn't buy it. I hope her casual listeners think it's cool enough for summer.


Anyway, I'm kinda happy it's just remastering...her current vocals are a big Remastering is just something to make it a little more special anyways. Not like it really means that much....usually.

@kinix @truehappiness yes of course, I don't say she needs to release a new album, namie's career is totally different than ayu and kuu, so they can't compare.

In my personal opinion I don't want to buy an album that have many songs that I got but it's ok to the people who don't have this songs.

I'm a fan of ayu, koda and namie, I have nothing against them

Lol, true!

We've already had Party Queen and CDL 11-12 & PoM. And now You & Me and the new ToX song by the end of the year. We aren't doing bad for releases! (I wish Olivia would release somethng - her last release was her Best album in 2010! Which was great despite owning almost all the songs)

Whilst, I wouldn't object to some remixes (like A Ballads which is a great album!), this release is not aimed at us, so no need to worry about it - new music will follow!

Well who's to say 'You & Me' isn't the new ToX song? I guess they would've announced that in the description as promotion but it very well could be the new Tox song...

^That would only make sense if ToX2 was released some time after the song, but it's released in November. Little bit too far away.

If 'You & Me' is to sound like any of her past songs, I think I'd want it to sound like part of Me, or HEAVEN, or even Why... without JUNO.
