Oh, if anyone was interested in what the preview song has lyrically, it's pretty encouraging. I think it could be either Gloria or untitled for her.... story 2 (most likely the latter) if we're going by the tracklist but anything's possible.
EDIT: I just looked at a site for information and it looks like SAKURA may be the song that was played? They have some lyric snippets that match the preview we have, at least for the last sabi/chorus. It was the only song that was played around the goods area and it was also pretty hard to hear because of the rain. Quote:

^ I'm imagining something a bit less dramatic than Missing, but less cuddly than Melody.

To reply to what you mentioned in the last thread, there's got to be some sort of appeal to buying A BEST 3... maybe new vocals? New arrangements? I think there should be at least one new song on it.
For the other best albums, there was something that was appealing/new/not available elsewhere on them... A BEST - new vocals on a few songs, first best album A BEST 2 - one new song, CDL+CDL documentary A COMPLETE - box/photobook, lots of singles, remastered everything A BEST 3 - ? I guess at this point, we can only imagine what the possibilities are if A BEST 3 actually happens, but I hope it's more than just the old songs.

^ I wonder if it'll be one disc or two?
I'm really hoping for 15th anniversary versions! I mean, since Ayu seems to have abandoned the single format, and we didn't receive any on LOVE or again, I'm really hoping that A BEST 3 incorporates them. It'd be really special if she did re-arrange singles from Duty -----> Love songs (since we've already received 10th anniversary editions for select LOVEppears and A Song for XX singles). I'd definitely buy A BEST 3 if it came with AT12, and rearranged songs. I just hope this release is drama free. |

I don't think she could do AB3 and expect it to sell or not piss off her remaining fans. I'd really love it Avex stepped it up a little and did an Ayu cover album celebrating her 15th anni - get her labelmates to cover/re-imagine her hits and present that.
I do expect AB3 coming soon, although without a single since 2010 it's hard to say she's even had a "hit" to qualify for another best compilation, but if singles are called mini albums now this crazy consumer world we live in might just troll us once more.

AB3 would cover "GREEN/Days" and everything after, I'm guessing (?). It'd end up being the weakest BEST album imo, and if "LOVE" and "again" are included, that'd be yet another slap in the face.
It would definitely need something substantial like 15th anniversary versions as others suggested. |

I would also really enjoy a cover album by her label mates. It'd be super fun. It'd breathe some life into her old songs! Doing a TRF and releasing it -with- an original album would also be very nice.

Though they may probably cut it off somewhere because that's a LOT of albums to pull from. Possible candidates imo: Secret - JEWEL for sure, but basically most of the album could be put on A BEST 3 GUILTY - MY ALL for sure, but like Secret, a lot of the album save one or two tracks could be on A BEST 3 Mirrorcle World (?, nah, it was on A COMPLETE and has kinda been ignored since then) NEXT LEVEL - Rule, Sparkle, NEXT LEVEL, Days Rock'n'Roll Circus - Microphone, You were..., Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~, Don't look back, Sexy little things, BALLAD Love songs - Love song, Virgin Road, MOON, crossroad FIVE - progress, BRILLANTE, beloved Party Queen - Party queen, how beautiful you are, Return Road, reminds me Around 70-80 songs up for A BEST 3 give or take a few excluding the interludes of course.

Singles since (or belonging to) Secret:
Startin'/Born To Be... BLUE BIRD glitter/fated Talkin' 2 Myself/decision Together when...* Mirrorcle World* GREEN/Days Rule/Sparkle Sunrise/Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~ Ballad/You were... MOON/blossom Crossroad L (Last Angel, Virgin Road, Sweet Season) Dream ON* how beautiful you are* * - Digital singles/collaborations/miscellaneous. 24? songs in total from singles not included on A BEST 2. Definitely enough to have two discs if she picks and chooses popular album tracks. |

She'll definitely pull from album tracks since Ayu's best albums have always seemed to be not just single collections from the very start except A COMPLETE which was supposed to be a single collection since it was called ~ALL SINGLES~ (but we know that to not really be true).

I reckon it'll be:
JEWEL RED LINE ~for TA~ Return Road (I'm not sure how popular this one is, but it was definitely the stand out on Party Queen). MY ALL Love song (performed at non-concert lives). progress Song 4 u Possibly Beautiful Fighters. I think it really depends on how she distinguishes each disc though this time. Considering the trend of 'happy' and 'sad' that has occurred with A BEST 2 and A SUMMER BEST, I wonder if A BEST 3 will follow suit? |

Song 4 u would be likely to be excluded since LOVE again would have come out just one month prior.
I think it's likely they could go 2CD or even 3CD with a 'special price' if they wanted to choose extra tracks. And....? I wish I had a "That was one time!" GIF from Mean Girls.

It's kind of odd how You & Me snuck its way onto like 4 releases after it was originally released.
Instrumental and remixes on LOVE, connected to the PVs on again, the Classical version on A Classical, and now it's on LOVE again with the PV/making and the song. Kind of hilarious since this didn't really happen with other tracks... ever.

Well, it did seem to be a bit of a YouTube hit. I think it's one of her most viewed tracks on YouTube if not THE highest on her channel with 2.4 million views and counting. It's possible that it was pretty well liked considering it's been years since her last upbeat summer track.
