I think it's just a mixed bag of emotions regarding this album. There are many things people do not like about it.

1. Overuse of songs that have appeared on many other compilations
2. Songs that shouldn't be on there
3. 1 new song
4. No re-arrengement / re-recordings officially announced
5. Almost 2 YEARS since last single (which happened to be her 50th)

I'm not saying Ayu does not work hard, we all know she does... but... I think most of us are sick of her pushing off the 51st single release. I was thinking this year, she would go full force in releasing a badass summer SINGLE. Something extravagant, double A-side, with special editions, different covers, and killer remixes (how the BLUE BIRD single was handled but even better). But no, it turned out to be like the least amount of effort she could do in order to give fans something new...

I mean, look at Kumi (yes I know people hate comparisons); she's effin' 9 months pregnant and HER best album are all re-worked (re-mixed), one new song, and another new song was just announced! Oh, and she's recently engaged!
