She´s a legend, I´m not saying she is a flop, the point I was trying to explain it´s that Ayu still selling her albums and singles pretty well for these days. The comparison between Seiko and Ayu it´s that they was top selling females someday, and the original album and singles sales of Seiko it´s not so good like the past BEST album.

And Also, Seiko it´s the living proof that a singer can continue to make good music to her loyals fans no matter the sales. Because some people act like Ayu MUST retire forever.

When I saw Ayu changed her profile and cover photo of her facebook with A BEST covers, I only thought that it was just a commemoration of the album's release fifteen years ago but when they announced that she's re-releasing it my emotions were mixed up! I prefer the songs to be just re-mastered than to be re-recorded. Those songs are great in their own ways already in my opinion because honestly I'm really not fond of her new vocals. SORRY.

I'm excited with other stuff of deluxe version especially the shirt.

This album is newly remastered lol. No new re-recordings.

I'm actually a bit confused... They don't mention the re-recording in the English version of the news, but then it says "15年の月日を経て、新たなayuの歌声に出会える...。" in the Japanese one, and it seems to mean "After 15 years, you can meet the voice of a new Ayu" or something like that... I wonder what that means.

[Ryusei]

Ok I just noticed the T-shirt will come in 7 different designs right?
And there are 7 different covers of A BEST hmmm....

Yeah I'm really confused by this. Because I don't know what else they could mean by that. If it was "music" I could see them just referring to a remastered sound, but it specifically says "singing voice"--so I don't get it lol.

[AyuGAME]

It will be great if the stuff is all on new arrangement and new vocal

And she also tops the digital sale charts too, which Oricon doesn't even count those in their charts. I'm positive with all her sales numbers combined, she's still one of the top selling artists in Japan.

[SpiceSquad!]

more into this than her new album.. imho

[jiarongisme]

I think 'a new Ayu' in a sense where Ayu was the new in artist in the industry

[aliceshields]

Ok, I just preordered from CDJapan

[Didz-19]

I just pre-ordered 2 versions from CDjapan.

[douggn]

Maybe she will do new vocals for the songs that had new vocals, in its first release

OMG!!! Slipcase??? The CDJapan one probably not the slipcase.

[~angel*ayumi~]

The Sleeve Case is an additional item for ordering @ TA/mu-mo
It has nothing to do with the CD itself.

[Tomoyo]

hopefully the limited edition will still be available when i go to preorder it on tuesday! i don't get paid until then!

[rainbow_smile]

Sorry, I confused slipcase and sleeve case. I wonder what a sleeve case is though?

[~angel*ayumi~]

I guess just some small kind of bag/case, like for a smartphone.
