Literally absolutely no one was asking for this lol
Maybe one of the DVDs will be interesting though.

An other best...
Ohia no ki & Pray for you will be probably in it.

I don’t know yet if I’m happy or not lool

I hope for a good news in one the DVDs (maybe the SPECIAL showcase?!)

From CDJapan:
"Ayumi Hamasaki to release the first ballad greatest hits album in 18 years. Consists of two discs with 30 songs total (subject to change). Remastering from their original master tapes."

Looking forward to it!! The most expensive versions come with a 40 page book from the TeamAyu Shop entry. We've craved this for a long time, anticipating the tracklists!

I hope for new vocal version or new arrangement like the first one. The remastered on A BALLADS was the best for me.

maxikot 1st January 2021 12:39 PM

I'm expecting a beautiful photoshoot :luv2

Xianghua 1st January 2021 12:40 PM

PLEASE let it be new arrangements like the original A BALLADS :weep that's all I want

Evan Odinson 1st January 2021 12:41 PM

This is such a cash grab (but let me see the goods on the expensive editions to see if I'll buy it anyways lol) I hope they do an amazing photoshoot :yes

Deep snow 1st January 2021 12:48 PM

I hope there are new songs (other than オヒアの木 and Pray for you) (and I hope Pray for you is great) (and some new arrangements!)

I hope the remasters aren't bullshit (LOVEppears sets such a high standard for me)

I hope the DVD contents aren't some bullshit live compilations

I think I'm aiming for the stars, but who knows. she surprises me sometimes.

i hope it's not only a remastering and that there is new arrangement for some songs as in the first A BALLADS.

A book? or a photobook?

I'm waiting to see what will be on the second blu-ray to make my choice. I supposed the blu-ray that is in each version will be pv.

Part of me thinks the 2nd DVD/ bluray will be power of music 2018?
It’s the only unreleased concert that would...work? (Or the Christmas live but considering the quality I’m thinking not...)

Otherwise, it could just be a compilation of live performances?

Ooh the PoM 2018 will be perfect!!!!!

Not too excited about this so far but if this includes the new song then that's nice. I hope the CD's artwork looks pretty.

Aderianu 1st January 2021 01:19 PM

I was waiting for that for a long time! Just preordered 2CD+2BD from TA

difference in price between versions with 1 DVD and 2 DVD is 6600 yen. Book can't costs that much, so high chanse it will be any not released yet concert

jpopfan018 1st January 2021 01:26 PM

BD / DVD DISC 1: Music Videos of all tracks on CD1 and CD2
BD / DVD DISC 2: Selection of Live Clips from 『ayumi hamasaki BEST LIVE BOX A』

LOLX

A BALLADS is one of my favorites and I always hoped she will release another one.
I'll wait for further details before speculating on how the songs will sound exactly or if there will be any rearrangements, but I am really happy this gets released.

I will buy it though as it's a good release for me specifically since I don't own too much Ayu stuff.

2021 sounds more hopeful musically, looking forward to it :-)
