I got to thinking and I am not upset that LOVE and again are included, why? Think about it. Look at I am...



This is what I am... looked like to us when it was first released

1. I am... [new track]
2. Opening run [interlude]
3. Connected [new track]
4. UNITE!
5. evolution
6. Naturally [new track]
7. NEVER EVER
8. still alone [new track]
9. Daybreak [new track]
10. Taskinlude [interlude]
11. M
12. a song is born
13. Dearest
14. no more words [new track]
15. Endless sorrow
16. flower garden [new track]

Now, back in the day Ayu would release ONE song at a time on a maxi-single and we would happily spend about $12 USA for ONE SONG with a TON of half-rate remixes on them. I am... included 7 previously-released single tracks and we spent about $84 on those songs already if we bought all of those singles. Now I am... came out with 9 new tracks 2 being interludes and 7 being songs.

Look at LOVE again.

01. Wake me up
02. Song 4 u
03. Missing
04. SAKURA [new track]
05. Melody
06. task'n'bass [interlude]
07. Bye-bye darling [new track]
08. snowy kiss
09. Sweet scar
10. petal [new track]
11. glasses [new track]
12. untitled for her... story 2 [new track]
13. Gloria [new track]
14. Ivy
15. You & Me

assuming that only task'n'bass is an interlude we have 1 new interlude and 6 new songs (one less new song than I am...) and 7 were previously-released songs (same amount as I am...) only instead we paid about $20 USA dollars for each mini album (about $40 total) that is $44 less than the singles we paid during the pre I am... time period.

So think about it people, we are just being spoiled brats, this release isn't as bad as it seems! Do this same comparison with other albums she has released, we are not getting ripped off!

You are missing the point entirely.
Its not about the number of tracks, its about the singles for LOVE again being promoted as stand alone releases at a much higher price, its about the "buy all 5 releases in order to recieve a prize" when 2 of those would make more than half of the 4th, its about being tricked with false advertisement.


though you obviously don't want to understand. I don't know if you're being rude/stupid just for a reaction or if you truly don't process information well.
