Is it a compilation of her previous ballads or something like "ELT's 4 Ballads"?

Not sure about the ELT 4 ballads, but from that http://www.shinseido.co.jp/hogaku/new/ayu.html site as quoted from eekamouse, it says SEASONS, Dearest, Voyage and RAINBOW will be in the album.
It should be reliable, and after all its only a few days left for when the album will release.

A Ballads? That's going to be a weird album. Why another best album already? Ayu should hold back a little. She shouldn't release so much stuff so fast or her sales will really plummet. I hope she has an A Dance album or something like that.

What? another old songs compilation album? I don't think this will be a great idea...
I prefer RAINBOW to be released as a maxi single ... and really really hope it will be 10+ tracks single again

Why no "Real Me" single? How disappointing. I was hoping for some album cuts.

I don't see why they keeping making albums that recycle all Ayu's stuff. It's getting so redundant. If A Ballads contains "Seasons" and "Who...", that will be the second time they have appeared on a best album. It's goofy, if you ask me. Just Avex trying to milk more money from Ayu.

The release date a little more than a month away and Avex enjoys making us wait, so it'll probably be a while before we get a cover and track list and stuff.
I totally agree Biscuit. Plus, they throw RAINBOW on the album to make people feel like they have to buy it. So all of the people who already bought albums that have Seasons and all those songs will think they need this CD also because it has RAINBOW on it, lol. Avex knows how to squeeze out as much money from people as possible.

The bad part is almost all songs will be repeated and they'll put the new song "RAINBOW" on it just to force people to buy it. Thanks god there's always the mp3s lol. If RAINBOW is going to be in this album there will probably not exist a RAINBOW single.

I'm sorry. I don't plan on buying this album. I think fans would much more enjoy a Rainbow single with the full song and remixes and maybe some remixes from some of the other songs on the Rainbow album. This is pretty shotty, if you ask me.

Kewl! Thank god my birthday is in april! Its close enough to pawn the cd off on it. Avex might be realesing so many ayu stuff but who cares there making money and everyone is buying the stuff so its good business practice in my book!

I think its the people who really really like Ayu or like collecting her stuff will buy this little album. The rest? Mp3s of course! Not that I support mp3s, but what I said is probably true.

It's a waste of money. I could see her doing another "A BEST" album with the release of a RAINBOW single, but using songs already on A BEST with the addition of RAINBOW is silly. Why not add RAINBOW and Real me onto a single with the possible addition of remixes? This proves that Avex will do anything for money, even if it deals with reproducing old material. It's the same that they did with Cyber Trance 2.

i dunno, Ozzy has done the same thing before too.... almost every song on The Ozzman Cometh also happens to be on his most recent album, the Essentials (I don't know if it's out yet, but I'm going to get it
 ) It all depends on the price of the album. if it runs along a cheap price then I guess it's a decent idea. I don't know, I think having more than just the studio albums is a waste of money (yeah, you heard me, I think all those ayu-mix albums are made just to make extra cash). I mean, a single that has the same song 10 different times on it. I'm sorry, but I would get bored after the 1st time... oh well, that's just my opinion anyways. I think I'll try to get A Best, or actually in my case this cd would be a good idea, seeing how I don't have any of them... but, yeah, avex is milking it quite a bit.
