[Official Message] A BEST -15th Anniversary Edition-

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Just make them metallic or shimmery lol like Memorial address

[lastminute]

barks.jp apparently revealed the album's cover (?)

As expected, the original cover remains

[MessiahofSilence]

Hey eyes in that cover look so beautiful and dark.

[Aderianu]

cover


handwritten lyrics of "appears". It will be published at the anniversary book with the notes from 浅田真央(figure skater), 宇野維正(music / movie journalist), 仲里依紗(actress), 藤井美保(music writer), 古市憲寿(sociologist)

[roanmy]

It'll be interesting to see what a sociologist has to say about the lyrics. xD

[maikaru]

The lyrics in the screenshot do not match exactly what she actually sings in the song. It seems to be first draft or something.

OMG Mao Asada! Mao is a huge fan of Ayu so it's great to see this!

[Aderianu]

bigger appears picture

Spoiler:

[DonkeyKongRemix]

It would be cool if the songs she re-recorded in the original A BEST (example: Trust) were just re-recorded again for this. She wouldn't have to re-sing every song, just those 3(?).

Even with a T-shirt, don't you think 9,720 yen is too expensive?

T-shirt is usually 3000 yen-ish, so shouldn't the limited edition be like 6000~7000 yen?

[rainbow_smile]

^ well, the CD+DVD is normally around 4000 yen, if I recall correctly, so it's around 7000 yen plus the "anniversary book" and a blu-ray, so I guess it's not that unjustified

[kaled kalil]

It would be fun if the new cover was actually this same pose, but with all the crew of make up artist, hair stylist, the photografer, and all that "off shoot" feel, showing how was the process of creating such an iconic picture for her career.

Something like this:

[ExodusUK]

They could have made the cover one of those reflective covers that change picture when you hold it a skewed angle. Maybe have the original cover then if you look at it from an angle then it's a recreation of the old photo but in colour?

[visionfactory]

It's odd enough to me that they decided to re-release A BEST during her 17th anniversary, why they just didn't wait till 20th?

[pimenta]

^ because it's not about ayu's career anniversary, it's about A BEST's 15th anniversary. Just like First Love had a 15th anniversary re-release a couple of years ago.

[Fernando]

I came into some money and I'm contemplating if I should buy the anniversary edition or not. I mean I'd really love an Ayu t-shirt as long as it's free size or something.

[douggn]

I believe ayu has released the covers on facebook, if I saw correctly, basically an alternate shot with a bit of colour over it.
I saw a post from her on facebook from her account but cant seem to find it again. I only saw it in my newsfeed

[douggn]

I had a proper look again on facebook and I couldn't find the post. It said it was from ayus page, it had 4 of the same picture with a little different colour thing going from one corner to the other, with the title and 15th anniversary in it. Though once I came here thinking it had been commented on here, go back to facebook to not find it :S It might of been what it looked like with the sleeve/slip case

[Isicio]

^there is nothing on her facebook maybe they delete the photo.

When I first saw it, I came straight here but it wasn't here, but when I went back it was gone. And I was using the facebook app so when you press back it doesn't just go back, it refreshes the page
I can recreate what I saw. It wouldnt be that hard
