Am I the only one that wants A BEST 3 to be released and out of the way? Releasing it on April 8 would be the perfect way to mark 15 years of unappreciative, entitled and spoilt fans

OMG I just started re-listening to 1LOVE as well Unpopular opinion: I think I might be the only person who does not want A BEST 3 this year. I still feel weird about the A BEST collections tbh, especially when I think back to how Ayu didn't like how the first one was handled. . . kind of just tainted the entire idea for me. I liked A COMPLETE because that was just epic, but idk about A BEST...I have all the albums up to this point, so if the covers or extra content blow me away I'll buy it.

I hope she releases something else that actually celebrates her fifteen years as a whole.
That's what was so great about A COMPLETE and the Days/GREEN and Mirrorcle World releases featuring anniversary versions of older songs. It revisited the past, and celebrated her career through every era. At the moment it feels forgotten. Not that I'm complaining; I've loved the LOVE again era, it's been great! But I'd love to see Ayu recognize her previous works in a medium that is not a concert setlist. |

Not too happy to know about this news though.

I hope this DVD release will include some of the songs that is not from the last show. I need "Letter" live.

Ironically this is the first of the anniversary releases that I've gotten remotely excited about (though again and A Classical turned out to be really great) because it was the first ayu show I was able to attend, it was the most incredible, life-changing, surreal experience of my life and I can't wait to relive it with this Blu-ray.
Though I will second krtman's comment that a rerecorded A song for xx would be amazing, especially for POWDER SNOW. Quote:

How about... I've been a fan since 2000 and I completely agree with Rylan? Just sayin'...
I think if they release A BEST 3 it'll be a bad, stupid move since A SUMMER BEST was just released, but releasing A BEST 3 wouldn't be the dumbest thing her marketing people have done lately so I'm not writing it off as a possibility. A self-cover album would be, in my opinion, the best idea. She hasn't done a self-cover album, and she hasn't done any self-covers at all since her 10th anniversary singles. Her voice and style have changed alot in 15 years and I think revisiting older tracks is something every fan would appreciate. I wouldn't mind a complete re-recording of the "A Song for XX" album since many of those melodies & lyrics are just amazing but her voice & production were so very, very weak at the time. It would remind the world of Ayu's legacy, remind them why Ayu was so amazing when she first showed up, and it would breathe new life into some great tracks - bringing old fans back, while possibly attracting new ones. If not a redo of "A Song for XX", they could use the TA vote to see what older songs Ayu fans like best and use that as suggestions for the album. I mean you did the vote, why not use that information for more than just 7 songs?? But that's too reasonable and the fans would like it too much so it'll never happen.

Have any first-press items been announced yet? I never pre-order DVD's so I don't remember if any have ever been given out with concerts, lol.

I think we will see A Best 3 next and the &DVD/Blu-Ray counterpart will be the 2012-2013 countdown live.
On the subject of this release, I hope the Blu-Ray has a slipcover. None of Ayu's have so far, which is annoying as the Namie ones look lovely. |

And it would most likely sell like any of her recent remixes album too. A Best 3 will be released sooner or later and she has more than enough material to put into it. |

Now A Best 3 packaged with self covers... that would be nice.
I'm still thinking we might get 3 types of A Best 3, also something along the lines of a Super A Best (that spans all 15 years) |

Like others have mentioned, Ayu's vocals and the general music production were both bad on "A Song for xx" (and to some extent "LOVEppears" too, in my opinion). I loved the 10th Anniversary versions (except for the "Who.." one but my favorite version of that song is the re-recorded version "Across the Universe" on A BALLADS), and I prefer all of them over the originals because I feel that with her added years, Ayu has only managed to unfold the already existing potential in the songs rather than make the songs "anew". Better vocals, better music, but the feelings and messages with the songs are the same, at least in my opinion. Whenever I listen to songs from her earliest albums, I always get the feeling something's missing, that these songs aren't at their full potential. Even an epic classic like "evolution" gives me such a feeling (screech-y vocals, mostly), when that song still is in my top 10-list of favorite Ayu-songs. It's not just a matter of "remixing" songs in my opinion, it's a matter of giving their colors more nuances, if you get what I mean. At least, that's my opinion on the matter.
