Yeah roughly; I'm currently an hour behind Japan!

Anyway, I did some research on the time durations between studio albums, and BEST albums:

Party Queen/A SUMMER BEST - four and a half months.
Duty/A BEST - Roughly five/six months.
Secret/A BEST 2 - Roughly three months.
GUILTY/A COMPLETE - ten months (NEXT LEVEL has a smaller duration, however it comes afterwards so it doesn't really count..)
RAINBOW/A BALLADS - three months.

If A BEST 3 is released in March then it'll be the tiniest duration of time (one month) between a studio album and a BEST album.

Saying that though, both A BALLADS and A BEST were released in March. Also, A BEST 2 was released right at the end of February (if she had extended it longer, it would have been a March release). So, it's completely possible that she may follow this trend.

Considering that three months seems to be the current minimum, would two months (April 8th; her anniversary) really be impossible? Probably not. I reckon this will be the most likely for A BEST 3...
