If (miss)understood don't reach a million then, I think, her next album will be a greatest hits.

Can you explain why you say this?

[AyuGAME]

yeah i think its her time to release a best album
50-50...its about a right timing to make it a HUGE sales

[Endlessoul]

I hope she can release one.

[cleftjuston]

a new best album would be nice, not to forget a new remix one

[love_destiny_J]

It would be great if she does release one.

not necessary? Why not hoping for a smash hit new album instead? All ayu need right now is a song or two that can hit the people's heart. I'm pretty sure the album sales will be better.

oh about the JPop Queen. I think it actually exists (well... I heard from my dad and uncle.. Hopefully it's not fake). When the emperor of Japan died, the media will choose the songtress (or jpop queen) of that era. Momoe Yamaguchi was chosen as the last era's JPop queen. When hikki came out in the beginning, she was called the JPop Queen of this era. Now I dunno if she's still holding this title, PLUS the emperor hasn't died yet so they can't just name someone at this moment rite??

Probly I should find more sources to prove my dad's not lying LOL

umm. no, to me that would b pretty ptless for her to release a best album just because (m)u cant reach a million. she (or avex) should just hire better ppl to write better songs for her.

um.. she writes her own songs already.. unless you mean compose.. and she already has many amazing composers, including herself.. I think Ayu should compose more of her music... her compositions are some of her best songs, like evolution, UNITE!, endless sorrow, M, and the list just goes on...

I think the title of "Jpop Queen" isn't really official. People just like to label who is "best" or not, which is usually very subjective.

[evolution105]

I'm going with what soysaucestar said.

[hopeorpain]

I think her first A BEST should have been released later, but now is definitely a good time since she has so much good music after A BEST. And yes a good time for a break too~!

yea, i meant composing. n i agree, she should write more of her own songs too

Ayu's next move shouldn't be a 2nd best-of, but a unplugged-version album.

This makes no sense at all.

Yes, it does. It's usual for japonese artists to release best albums when the sales are going down, really usual. Or when they're in their peaks. Ayu already released one while in her peak.

They do this because a best album is a good way to put the person back on the spotlight because sales of best albums are usually better than the last album (like BoA with L&H and then Best of Soul).

It's not always like that, but I think it's possible, because AVEX always think in moves like that.

It's a good time now to release a best album because she's not selling as well as before but she's still very popular, so a best album will sale well for sure. Maybe, better than missunderstood.

Then again, Ayu might not want a best album. But AVEX sure does...

[ayu_fan929]

^well for BoA, avex does follow the rule 1st 3 (or sumtimes 4) albums then a best album. (so did ayu n even hikki even tho shes not part of avex).

imo, i think best albums should be released when the timing is right, n imo, i dont think its time for ayu

If AVEX uses that rule for their artists, Ayu will release a second best album soon.

Let's hope so! ^_~ I hope she re-records some songs.

[elvis810]

I guess we all know there is a high possibility of a release of another best album from ayu soon, but there're too many songs to choose from since March 2001. So, what do u think A BEST 2 is supposed to contain?
IMO, it should not be accompanied with a dvd with all MVs of the songs on it, otherwise it'll waste her fans money. It's a good idea if she releases the best album with 3 formats in 1 package, like A POP, A BALLADS II, A ROCK, it would certainly be the best-selling album for the year
