With this amount of songs (even lessing the new song) she does need to release a few CDs lol.

4CDs? That's going to be SUPER EXPENSIVE. I don't think it's going to do well in the sales...

Anyway my dream tracklist is this:

A BEST 3 BOYS & GIRLS

Disc 1 "BOYS"

01 talkin'2 myself
02 Rule
03 Microphone
04 1 LOVE
05 decision
06 crossroad
07 MOON
08 Together When...
09 fated
10 BALLAD
11 momentum
12 Pride
13 BRILLANTE
14 Don't look back
15 GREEN
16 Love Song

Disc 2 "GIRLS"

01 Bold & Delicious
02 Startin'
03 Lady Dynamite
04 Sparkle
05 glitter
06 NEXT LEVEL
07 BLUE BIRD
08 blossom
09 You were...
10 Virgin Road
11 beloved
12 Days
13 Sweet Season
14 progress
15 Born To Be...
16 Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~

And yes, I think song selection will only go up to FIVE, so no Party Queen tracks... Same scenario as in A BEST 2 where Secret tracks are excluded...

[TeamAyu2004]

I think (if she had set a trend with the first 2)) it will continue and there will be 3 versions of A Best 3.

[Delicious n Bold]

The best album does need to be the best of the best...
More than 1 disc isn't necessary.

[pepper]

anything NOT BEST and not TOUR DVD (cause she will realese this somewhere in other time anyways...) will make me happy tbh.

I will not be surprised if she realeses like SINGLE AND PV ALBUM STH COLLECTION 15 YEARS ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION DVD & BLURAY expensive bu**** with 10 covers and 3 meaningles ayupans tbh. With one new song lol.


but seriously, if she's going to realese anything BEST, it will be big and expensive.

[TeamAyu2004]

I would LOVE a box set of all her albums including a 15th!

If it will include totally new album, then will be fabulous, cause I would not afford this anyway (at least not now )


I just don't want BEST in that case, I can't afford that stuff yet. When I'll get the job, Ill try to buy realeses as much I will aford, but now I will what, download songs I already have? XDDD Then I just want new stuff to listen. But I'm not THAT collector. Even If I would buy "BEST thingy" it's still just a new pretty box to look at on your shelf.

[ストロボ・EdGE]

The bonus for buying all five releases should be A BEST 3 for free.

But that doesn't make commercial sense.

I could think of the extremely original title for it too. A Box (Oh... I can imagine the commercial - Hamasaki Ayumi... new album. A Box)

Maybe we'll get the 16th album in March LOL.

I think April 8 would be appropriate for the A Best (These are "supposed" to be for the fans, so A Best would be more Avex designated) in my opinion. Remember Ayu didn't even want the first A Best!

I could see whatever it being, probably have the CDL 12-13 included in the &DVD/Blu version.

[Delicious n Bold]

I hope it's cheap (cuz I'm saving money for anime north. NOT gonna work there this year! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA)

But knowing slavex, it's gonna cost a bill or so.

[Mr. Goto]

As expected stock is back for the photobook versions http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/list_from_c...tml?key=246497

[TeamAyu2004]

meh, starting with Love Songs I havent even opened everything I bought. I jsut get it to have it.
I download stuff to listen and watch.

[Tony G]

I have a feeling we're getting A BEST 3. Avex would save the biggest release to last and I can't see how the tour DVD is going to follow a new album.

Box set of her albums is also a cool idea, but that would potentially kill sales of individual releases. As well as that, these releases are for her fans and her fans would own some or most of her albums, so it's a bit of a dud release in that respect.

[TeamAyu2004]

coolness, Love again limited edition (both versions) is sold out on cd japan.
I hope this does well on the charts.

[truehappiness]

The Blu-ray with the figure/photobook edition is also unavailable from Amazon.jp!

I dont understand people being excited about a compilation album of songs they already heard and own. I literally don't understand people wanting A Best 3, it perplexes me. Lol seriously I don't understand.

I think most people just know it's coming.

A BEST (ASFXX to Duty/I am... ish) - 2001
A BEST 2 (I am... to (miss)understood) - 2007
A BEST 3 (Secret to Party Queen? or FIVE?) - 2013~?

Personally, I don't really want it to happen, but there have been quite a few releases since the last one so it's definitely on the horizon. Also being her 15th anniversary, I can't help but think that it will be out eventually sometime this year if not in March or April.

We can only look forward to what will be in it along with the old 'remastered' tracks and etc... and if you can't even look forward to that, then why even pay attention at all during the release? I have a feeling we'll get some people saying "PFT WHY IS SHE RELEASING A BEST AGAAAAAAAAAIN" but probably nothing like when A COMPLETE was pulled out for the 10th anniversary. That was a rather confusing release despite selling well.

That's what i figured, but I wouldn't get my hopes up expecting there to be remastered tracks and even if I was EXPECTING something like a best-of album, that wouldn't make me want it anymore.

[TeamAyu2004]

why was A Complete confusing when released?

[LONJJONG]

A COMPLETE was also released near to A BEST 2.
