Regardless, I figure part of it at least has to be about problems obtaining the rights for use on A BEST 2.

That makes a lot of sense. Although it's probably the fact that it' an odd song as well. The only way it would fit in with Ayu's other songs is if it was mastered/remixed and then it wouldn't be the same.

I have a love-hate relationship with that song, so I have no clue how I feel about it not being there. Somehow, it should have made it into AB2, it's defintaely one of her.... memorable songs.
