seems a whole lot too early. i think the worst move ayu has done was a complete. and right after a best 2 for crying out loud. she better not do any more compilations till atleast 3 more albums come out.

But A COMPLETE was almost acting like an A BEST in my opinion.

I think it would be stupid for her to release A BEST 3 so soon after A COMPLETE.

It may not have been the best move in the world, but it was her highest selling album since (miss)understood. Unless you count both A BEST 2 albums together lol.

i prefer A BALLADS 2 rather than A BEST 3

U guys are forgeting about (miss)understood album tracks u.ú (A Best 2 was from evolution to bold & delicious/pride)

Those are the ones I think she is going to put on her next A Best, considering they are popular tracks

Ladies Night
JEWEL
momentum
Startin'
1 LOVE
BLUE BIRD
Together When...
glitter
MY ALL
EnergizE
Rule
Days
Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~
You were...

A Best 3 is impossible for now since its only 3 years ago A BEST II were released.

But A BALLADS 2 is fine.

A BALLADS 2 please! New versions of HEAVEN, momentum and JEWEL please! She could keep the dynamics of the first one too by putting on some of the tracks like Liar from MY STORY too! ♥___♥ Aslong as Days isn't on it, that's totally not worthy of being on the same CD as HEAVEN et al.

A best! I've had enough of her Abest as a fan.. I)I I felt a little wasted by buying both her Abest2 albums previously.. I skipped buying A complete. And now I want to buy the A complete already... beucase somehow a year after her release I am ready to buy that. But no more A best for the next years.

I hope she doesn't release BEST 3 so soon. ^^ She just had A COMPLETE. She's not Koda Kumi~

But if she were to release it now, I think the setlist would go like...

01 Startin'
02 1 LOVE
03 JEWEL
04 BLUE BIRD
05 Born To Be...
06 talkin' 2 myself (< one of Ayu's favorite songs)
07 glitter
08 fated
09 MY ALL
10 Together When...
11 GREEN
12 Days
13 Rule
14 Sparkle
15 Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~
16 You were...

I would like to see A BALLADS 2 or the interludes collection xD I just love Ayu's interludes, extended version would be awesome...

Her best albums (well ex. ~ALL SINGLES~ obviously) are never single collections. She chooses what she feels her best was. So I doubt A BEST 3 will include all the a-sides released after A BEST 2. We probably won't get something that includes all of her a-sides until she retires. :P

And I agree with those saying A BALLADS 2. Now that would be a compilation that would be nice right now. :)

it's good that the majority feels that it's about time for her to release A BALLADS 2 & let alone to release a compilation album filled with extended songs from interludes/introductions just like what happened for Mirrorcle World's case :heart

putting out A BEST 3 now will be a big rip off & this probably will means that avex's going bankrupt or something D:

Well for me, thank goodness she came out with A Complete, otherwise I wouldn't be here right now, nor I'll be listening to her music. A Complete is the first album I bought from her and thats how I got hook to her music.

As for ABest 3, its too early since ABest 2. Maybe in the next few years.

I think that her next BEST album should contain songs from ALL albums. Hopefully some new versions too (as acoustic or re-recorded) and also some B-sides

^ Omg no one could afford it!

Fans sent in their lyrics? Can someone tell me more about this? :3

I agree! If she were to do another Best album I'd want new vocal tracks for all of the ones not released within the past year or change arrangements or do something more to make people want songs they've boughten 3 times.

As a first press bonus for RAINBOW track 00 contained a password to a special website with a preview of RAINBOW and fans could send in lyrics.
Ayu used her fans' lyrics to create the final product we see on A BALLADS. :)

Wait, wait, on A BALLADS, the lyrics contained are not the ones she wrote but the fans'!?

^ I think Ayu used the lyrics as inspiration. Not just copying their lyrics, correct?

Apparently because I went to iTunes to see and just a few words were changed in Appears and I didn't notice anything different as far as lyrics go in the other songs. I was kinda disappointed cause this one time I saw a clip on a TV show of Ayu singing YOU with completely different lyrics and I thought that would be on A BALLADS.

Would you guys be up for A BALLADS 2 around late 2010? It would be more appropriate than a typical Best.
