A BEST 2 discussion thread!

[everlastingRAINBOW]

So since the server lost a bunch of threads (including this one) and no one else started this again, I have decided to (I hope the original poster won't get pissed >.<)!

I kinda hope that A BEST 2 has the same stuff on both CDs, but the DVDs on one have just PVs and the DVDs on the other are just concert stuff, this way I only have to get the one with PVs xD! But a orchestrated version of one would be awesome..

haha i was the original poster and no worries, no reason to be pissed.

I was just hoping to see what the response were but I didn't get a chance and now it's gone.

I hope the covers are simple and striking in black and white, like the first A BEST.

Since I already have the songs and PVs I'm not going to be buying this, though, unless there's some great "my name's WOMEN PV"-like new extra.

Me too! I hope they are just plain but very very striking!

Good timing.

[norain]

Gasp! they all disappeared? That was a humongous thread. But, I'm hoping that each album will get a million sales each. I mean, look at koda. I actually hope it'll get 1.5 million per each album. Since it's a double album release.

[sora2522]

i really wanna get the cd >D...and like one person mentioned (forgot who)...i hope that the black is rock and the white is ballads...that would be cool ^.^ (maybe they should do A ROCKER next XD)

[ComatoseBunnySnatcher]

A best 2? Hooray!
I only have one Ayu CD and im defenetly getting this one.
So, there's two?

Yeah, a black and a white version ^___^! But no one knows what going to be on them yet ..

[ComatoseBunnySnatcher]

I love monochromes!
If I can only get one, it'll be the black... but I'll probably get the two versions anyway.
It also has the pv's right?

Nothing is really confirmed yet, just that there is going to be a black and white version and it's supposed to be released February 28th ^__^! I'll post info at the top of the thread when I get it

Thankies
Hopefully this does'nt mean the end of Ayu's career

[SheFliesHigher]

I just really hope the albums don't include songs that have already been on Ayu's previous BEST collections....for example, SEASONS. Great song, but it's on both A Best and A Ballads.

I want A BEST 2 to compliment the first A Best, so that a new fan could buy both and get a nice sampling of Ayu's entire career of music. I will be irritated if there are repeat tracks!

[mi|kshake]

I hope the tracks are resung or rearranged as I really want to buy these albums, but if the songs are the same, then it'll be a waste of money. I thought Namie's Love Enhanced Single Collection album was excellent - I'd like A Best 2 to be like that. What I would have really liked is to have every song Ayumi's released including the triple A sides on the album to make a 3 or 4 disc collectors edition. It could have a cool box like the FFXII box!

I hope shes crying but shes smiling at the same time,
or that someone's hand is wiping the tear away

[IYFreak]

but if A Best 2 has two seperate editions with different songs they should be released at different times. but if there not it make me think that either they'll have different arrangements on the two disk but still them same songs they should just come to gether and make it 2CD + DVD

[Ayumiko]

I do hope they will include the original mix of some of the a ballad songs....like RAINBOW, dearest, etc the songs that was released after A BEST. I really really want to see endless sorrow the original mix in A BEST 2. I will buy both versions, black and white if the tracklists are different and I will see what stuff will be included in the dvd version...if theres some extra goodies in there, I will be the dvd version of black and white. The release of this BEST album, reminds me of kumis releases with the extra bonus stuff. I guess its ok for a best album, but please I hope she will not continue doing so to get more sales.

oh and please no bold and delicious!!!!!!

[Melting_Holidays]

I would like re sung or rearranged songs but it might not happen.(Who knows though)

Since her sales are going down for albums I would think this would sell huge.

[ayu_ayu301]

I read it at the ayunite forum that it is confirm to have CD + 2DVD version for both Black and White
