okay so whats with the remastering-rerecording thing?

do we know anything for sure. I mean, I'm sure everything will be remastered. God if they don't they're lazy...but she mentioned rerecording? Or are people just pulling this out of nowhere.

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.

I think you've got the point wrong. Those who would buy all her stuffs wouldnt grumble with every release she made. They'll be thrilled with every release she makes.
Only those who doesnt even buy her release grumbles. As it wasnt what they expected. Not that they would even buy it in the 1st place. They only talk, but no action =)

Totally agree with that one!! "they only talk, but no action". Some people here want Ayu to do "this & that", but in the end of the day, do you people even buy her release? or do you just download her materials illegally?

[LONJJONG]

Or MAYBE......

Disc N-agase
Disc A-yumi ?!

LOL XD

Downloading things illegally is a choice people make if they got no money to buy stuff or because they want to listen to her release before they buy them. People don't really want to be disappointed. Personally I do the latter with every artist I listen to. I listen to their releases and buy them if I happen to have money at the moment. Not all of us have enough money to buy every single album and single from Ayu's discography or from anyone else. I just don't understand why it's such a personal insult to some people that others don't buy a million copies of her releases.

And no, I'm not gonna fight with you about this. You have your opinion and I got mine so it's useless.

And yes, I'm pretty sure that You & Me will be a ballad. Title itself really says that so it must be true. I hope that I'm wrong because I want something really upbeat from Ayu. Summer songs should be energetic and catchy, not some slow ballads she's been releasing so often lately.

Glad it is not Disc M and Disc A, but I want Disc T and Disc A
T stands for Team, A stands for Ayu.

Don't interpret T as Timmy, please.

Wow, dude, chill the hell out. Are you the opinion police? Can't they state their opinion without you flipping out? Get off your condescending high horse. I ALSO think Boys & Girls is overused too and shouldn't be released on another Best so soon. It's just on there to milk more money because it was one of her more successful singles to date. Even though it's been on 2 out of 3 of the previous best albums. And she sings it on almost ever tour, although I don't mind that because it's a good song to get the audience to sing along with since it's so popular. The fact of the matter is it's overplayed, so no need to be mean to them because they realize it too. They honestly do not need this song released on yet another album.

I'm pretty disappointed by this. I really hope some of the older, over-used songs are re-arranged or at least re-recorded (Such as evolution, Boys & Girls, UNITE, . I'm hoping for a re-arrangement similar to how they're played live these days. Why is Sunrise/Sunset even on there? And ANother Song was JUST on last year's mini album. WTF, Ayu, what what WHAT are you doing.



If NONE of these songs are re-recorded, I am just going to buy You & Me off iTunes as other suggested. The only songs I really like on this album were all re-mastered for A Complete. F this album. She should have done this similar to A Ballads with the rearrangements and the two new songs, etc. I've never felt this disgusted over an Ayu release before, but the way things are looking, this album is going to be crap.

[esprit85]

I like the idea of a Summer Best... but more would I like a new Album like I am... or Rainbow! I miss her old good times sooo much! But still I love her till death

How the hell almost 90% news released thread involves and spam full of violate and this-is-my-opinion-only messages? So much drama!

Leave ayu alone! *cries*

You're not going to 'chris-crocker" on Ayu, right?

[RayJason]

Maybe "You & Me" is the credit song for Tales of Xillia or something. I don't want a sweet ballad as game opening song, give me something like progress x M.

[krtman2002]

Another collection, well... not for me, but waiting for the new song...

The new song should be called "Eyes, smoke, MONEY"

I buy everything. Should I blindly buy everything 'cause it's Ayu? No way. I have everything here except You & Me and Happening Here (dnw), on PHYSICAL release. Yes, even theme of a-nation.

I'm not buying this, it's plain and simple a cash cow release. I'll just get the new song, and I didn't even bother illegally downloading Happening Here because it's so vile.

Maybe I'll buy the OS press one day when the "you must buy everything to have the right to complain" brigade share some of this cash they're using to buy every single Ayu product. It's up to me if I deem a product worthy of buying, buying something just because it has Ayumi Hamasaki slapped on it is stupid.

I agree with this quote. Nobody's opinion is "moot" just because they didn't buy it.
