I think she must have been banned, she would have done at least a performance at Music Station for the release of Party Queen.

Artists can be banned from tv programs?

My friend Ayumi is in Tokyo right now and she's going to be taking pictures of Ayu-related billboards and shop signs. According to my friend, Ayu's everywhere!

But only in Shibuya. My friend who is in Tokyo right now says she didn´t see any in other disctricts.

[Mirrorcle Monster]

^ OMG 75% of that people arent japanese

[ayumisrael]

Even at A BEST's period, did they promote/put billboards only in Tokyo?

[Foyuki]

and additional,the beginning of Greatful days(ASB) is shorter than all the other versions (Single & / A BEST 2) except for Memorial address ver.

[tasking]

^ That difference in seconds is just the silence at the end before the next track. It varies from album to album.

[Foyuki]

^nope!it's the beginning length Greatful days(ASB/Memorial address) is about 7 secs but A BEST 2 and & is about 10secs.I mean the beginning ,not total length.
and the opening breath of Boys & Girls is the same as A BEST ver.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

You & Me is currently #5 on iTunes and ASB is still the #1 album! I wish iTunes would release digital sales figures...I REALLY am curious as to how much ayu sells digitally...

Well, Deli says there's no need for debate about A SUMMER BEST; Boys & Girls is Boys & Girls - the AUBE Original Mix For anyone who's curious though, the A BEST version of the song wasn't marked as "new vocal & mix" like the others, but there are indeed some differences, although very minor, iirc. I'll have to ask Deli what those are. But they haven't used it on any compilations since then, so I don't see why this one would be any different.

And Foyuki, I thought you meant the difference between the times as a whole, like 4:41 and 4:43. Don't mind me. But yes, Greatful days is the A BEST 2 version, with the longer intro.

[TeamAyu2004]

she may not be banned but she herself may not want to promote on those shows because the way they treated her last year when she was sick. (Music Station)

[miki_beland]

They just don't invite her anymore... that's the reason. She said if after the tsunami... she wanted to appear at TV, and she had to ask for it, no one had asked her to perform in a long time... those were her words.

She performed after the Tsunami on Music Station and had a booked appearance months after it too but bailed out.

I have the same feeling with "End roll" on "A BEST". I opened a thread some time ago asking if anyone else noticed that it was different from the single and different from the LOVEppears version for it was not marked as such

Yep, End roll is different too!

Speaking with Deli again, she says the version of Boys & Girls on A BEST is significantly different; in her words, "the mixing on the instruments between the chorus and verses is all... whooshy sounding." XD

So yeah, no way it's the version on ASB.
