Considering A Best 3 would cover from (miss)understood album tracks onwards, those tracks either had strong sales, became concert staples, are always requested or had strong tie-ins (bolded ones are alread on compilations):

[Delicious n Bold]

I wouldnt mind A Best 3 having songs from Secret and Guilty. But TBH I'd rather buy those albums instead.

[AyuGAME]

i think A BEST 3 will give her good exposure...which finger crossed that she will do lot of marketing stuff and appearing in a lot of magz, tv, etc

[C+R+E+AYUMI]

fast release, they need money

[marty]

Another A Ballad would be awesome, too! I don't know what I love more, if the new version of A Song for xx and Rainbow, or the booklet, lol.
Precisely because her voice changed so much, I'd really like resung version of past stuff. I mean, if she does it in concerts, why not record it too?

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I would much prefer an A BALLADS II over another A BEST... in a sense, it's a best album, but the songs would be re-arranged. Like the original A BALLADS. If it were just her ballad songs stuck onto a new album, then I'd be annoyed.

But A CLASSICAL kind of already acted as an A BALLADS II... so I guess it wouldn't be as exciting haha.

So I guess I don't really want any sort of best album right now.

[ayumisrael]

We will have to settle on whatever ayu/avex/both will want to give us rather than trust on our personal wishes I suppose hahaha. It's good to wish kinds of releases and I have my own wishes but we will have to accept what they give us (or just ignore the release if we don't like it), better than wish and expect for something and then be dissapointed if it's really not what you wanted or really what you didn't want.

Sadly, I've never been able to do that!XD On the contrary, I build all sort of sand castles in my mind, and then I release the storm of my disappointments on my poor friends!XD My fan life is hard.

[ayumisrael]

Sunrise and Together when... also got double platinum for chaku uta and platinum for chaku uta full (which is 750,000+ overall).

[Livey~]

^ Cool! It's good to know

[ExodusUK]

I must be the only person that hopes that the next BEST is a career spanning greatest hits. A COMPLETE doesn't really count as it's really just a compilation collection of singles where as BESTS only have the greatest songs regardless if the songs were singles or not.

[Tomoyo]

to be honest, im supportive of whatever ayu gives us. although, i love that the dvd is coming out this year instead of next year. i get to see it sooner, but at the same time i was kinda hoping for another studio album.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

ahhhh I'm most excited about hearing A Song for XX, Memorial address, Fly high, M, JEWEL, HEAVEN, Voyage, Boys & Girls, Who..., BLUE BIRD, and Tell all when I go. I wonder what the encores are gonna be on the 27th and 28th, or if they'll be longer. What I want her to perform most is HANABI, Dearest, INSPIRE, SEASONS, WHATEVER, independent, fairyland, Days, and Sparkle, Sunrise, AUDIENCE, and July 1st. I'm sure she'll do at least A TINY few or these at the final two encores! Some (or most) of those songs are on the top 50!!

I hope the photobook is hard-covered

I highly doubt because avex is so cheap. They want to invest extremely low for big profit.

[pimenta]

I wouldn't mind an A BEST 3, but it should be really well promoted or it will be another waste of release like A SUMMER BEST was...
An A BALLADS II would be interesting

but I really want singles with TV performances to promote them At least one single before each album...

[pimenta]

^ my name's WOMEN's PV always seemed very expensive to me ever since the first time I watched it, and later I discovered how much it costed and everything made sense It's my absolute favorite Ayu PV ever, it's so well executed ♥

[marty]

I love madly my name's WOMEN PV (bamf Ayu rules, especially in here and 1 LOVE), but I had no idea it was so expensive!

[kotora]

Milestone

Glitter / fated = 30 minutes movies filming in hong kong
GREEN = first PV in China

Days (I heard it has quite good feedback in Japan at the time)

So I believe there are tons of reasons for avex to release A BEST 3, but ayu might think she wants to focus on tour now and focus on new album later.
