『A SUMMER BEST』8. August 2012 ~II~

(Translated by Misa-chan)

The best of ayu’s summer songs!

A compilation of the super hit summer songs that are a must-listen when summer comes!!

BLUE BIRD, Greatful days, July 1st, as well as signature songs like Boys&Girls and evolution are all gathered into a happy exciting “DISC-N”. Sadder summer songs like HANABI and monochrome are compiled into “DISC-A”, to give a grand 2-CD set.

Furthermore, the theme song for current tour “ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2012 ~HOTEL Love songs~”, TRF cover Happening Here, will also be included due to many fans’ requests.

A new song You & Me, written just for this summer song compilation, makes up a grand total of 26 songs! (planned)

The DVD includes video clips from 10 years of a-nation lives, from 2002 to 2011, some past summer PVs, the PV for new song You & Me, which was filmed overseas, as well as “Greatful days” performed by RAINBOW HOUSE. The extremely rare collection adds up to a total of 25 tracks. (planned)

The best release to brighten up this summer!!

2012.8.8 in stores

the tan is not as bad in this picture, which is good, because it is bad.

I don't usually mind bad covers, but has anyone actually bothered taking a look at the 2CD ver. before deciding to actually put it out there? I mean her mouth and teeth look like they are going to be on one of GReeeeN's release...that person looks nothing like Ayu.

please tell me the correct color of cd version is that of the smaller picture!
The larger cover is really the few horrible covers they have for cd version

The bigger cover looks awful because of the colors, I think it will look something closer to this:

just realised how scary her hand looks....

her and koda, with their freakishly large hands and long fingers.

Anyways, jumping on the bandwagon and making my own version using ^ coloring:



Sometimes photoshop is your friend

I think the CD only cover is only bad at lips.. If the lips color is darker, it may be better.

Eh. I love the covers. And cannot wait for the official tracklisting. (I'm still hoping it's going to be like A BALLADS, as in at least with remixes/rearrangements)

well, as always. I was right from the start saying we shouldn't have expected much. as I see, I was completely right. even about the ridiculous amount of burn layers (as seen from poster photo preview) to the maximum level of photoshop

unpretty & weird. I cannot see the reason to release such unflattering covers, Ayu. where's your perfectionist side gone, I wonder?

a pity.

I still think that the 2CD+DVD should be one of her best (unlike the CD one).

I just can't help it.. She looks like a scary plastic doll in the CD only cover.. It's again because they shopped her smile lines..

Someone needs to tell the photoshoppers off and ayu for accepting the CD only cover haha.

It's amazing though how the 2CD+DVD looking really great and cd one the opposite. Though I think that the close up and pose are behind it.

The covers are not my favorite. They're just okay. I already have all the songs except You & Me. Thought not gonna buy it at first. But after seeing the DVD tracklist, I think, I need to have one !

Contrary to popular(?) opinion, I find the CD+DVD cover too...generic, for some reason. Oh well. Opinions.
