Eh, I would put Poker Face on a best album. Not that I particularly like the song, but it's a major milestone for Ayu (A.K.A her career-starting single). Alongside hits, I do think milestone songs and singles should also be included. A Song For XX would be one. Although it wasn't a single, It's the titular song on her first million-seller (hence probably why it was on A Best in the first place). Not sure if "Forgiveness" is a hit or not, but it was a Milestone for being her 30th single. Dunno what the numbers for Mirrorcle World and Days/Green were but they were her 10th Anniversary Singles, so they're major milestones as well. Stuff like that.

Anyway, I think there should be more to a best album than just having her exclusive fanclub voting on the tracklist. Hits are decided by the general public who buys her albums and singles, not a clique of super-obsessed Ayu fans who shell out money for everything she buys. (I apologize if my painting of Team Ayu is over-generalizing. I have nothing against TA and I do want to join myself once I get some spare cash).
