^I think the fact they're doing a special packaging, have this "extravagant" team of composers and this is her first 3A in 7 years is confirmation enough that they're doing something special for the actual single this time. How it'll all turn out is another thing altogether.

I love Mega-mix's, I tend to like fanmade ones the best though but it would still be a cool idea. How would they chose which songs to use though? She has 50 singles... even if you did like 30 sec of each song.... lol yeah. XD

Well, they could pick her top 10 most well known, loved, and best selling single songs and mix them up into one. They have already done one before ("fairyland-glitter-BLUE BIRD-Greatful days-July 1st" Mega-Mash-Up-Mix) so we know they know how to do one.

Also, I don't think special packaging really means "extravagant". Mirrorcle World and Days/GREEN had the long sleeve cases. ayumix 2 had the "limited edition speckle" cases. Her H single came in a digipack. NEXT LEVEL came as a USB. Rock n Roll Circus came in a box set. First press versions of Rule/Sparkle came with picture disks instead of the standard ones. Specially packaging her discography isn't exactly new, and I don't consider anything "special" about anything I listed above except Mirrorcle World cause it was to celebrate her 10th anniversary. Also the fact that it's a 3 A-side single doesn't mean it's special. Yeah that's cool, but I may be wrong, but she didn't release A, H, or & for anything special in her career. They just happen to be singles with 3 A-sides on them. Although, there is always time to prove me wrong, so I guess we'll just have to find out what is so "special" about this single that will make it different from the rest of her singles.

Do we know who the "extravagant" composers are of her L single? I sound mean saying this XD but unless they are composer's she's never worked with before, and have a list of amazing songs they've released in the past and have an amazing rep. I won't consider it to be amazing. I especially pray for composer's she's never worked with before. If the compsers are like, Kazuhiro Hara and max matsuura then I would consider this single anything but special.

True, all those factors separately they don't seem special as she's done them with pretty ordinary releases but I feel like it's the combination of all these things together that make it special. Like why chose the 50th single to do another 3A when she's been stuck on the single and double A format for the past 5 years? It may have not been a big deal back in the day since she did it more frequently but the fact that she hasn't done it in so long makes it special imho... kinda like she's winking back at the past.

As far as packaging, she does it regularly with releases both normal (RnRC, NL) and special (MW and D/G) and for the most part, they've been unique to that specific release. Who knows what this packaging with entail but I feel it'll probably be something along the lines of MW and D/G... something we don't see too often and remember to be unique to that release. Or at least, I hope.

The composers... tbh, I don't expect anyone *new* to the Ayu line-up but I feel we'll get some surprises regardless (and of course, I'm referring to CREA and DAI ).
