I personally think she has enough remixes. Most of them aren't even good. I'm actually glad she stopped releasing her singles with tons of remixes cause none of them were ever good (minus a few, I prob. love every song off the daybreak, and rule singles). but it just got ridiculous. aside from the fact that we get 1-2 albums a freaking year, on top of that theres not a single ayumix that is just one album. all of them are 2 albums minus ayumix 2, and I think ayumix 3. then if that's not enough, theres another side of remixes like the eurotrance, cyber trance, thingy that just add to the whole collection.

I don't mind a few remix albums but honestly, ayu is just ridiculous with them. she needs to go back in time and pace herself, you know, release one after like, every three albums so we're not flooded with them and wondering why we have like, 8 remixes of a song for xx on 3 different albums and a list on new awesome songs that don't have any remixes yet.
I'm pretty sure the 3289403289 remixes on a single thing was a trend back in the day. Ayu wasn't the only artist doing it, it was just kinda like the 'thing' to do, so they packed each single was as much mixes as they could. Usually I'm not a fan of that kinda stuff but I found most of these mixes to be really good. Especially the "I am..." ones and the HAL mixes. Those are always great.

The same applies with the remix albums and all their different genres (mega mix, trance, eurobeat). It was made for clubs, not like.. mainstream appeal. That, too, died out in popularity in the late 90s / early millennium, which is why it took us so long to see an ayu-mix 6.
