[Official Message] A BEST -15th Anniversary Edition-

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Well I already ordered from amazon.co.jp so I'll be annoyed if they announce it later. I don't get why they do that. Shouldn't be too difficult to cancel though if need be.

[rainbow_smile]

That's why I don't pre-order until they post the TA shop/mu-mo order links these days lol

[ayuuk]

Almost 10000 yen!? So pricey!!!

[njanjayrp]

I already have A best and enough of other expensive things that collect dust. So not gonna be getting this.

[surrealA]

I wish they also make a cover versions of the album by other artists like she did with Hikki and Globe.

[Matt_rq]

I have a doubt about the t-shirt in the deluxe version, if they send it randomly also they send randomly size and gender? I´m doubting about bought this or not, it´s so expensive.

[aliceshields]

^ I guess the T-shirt will be free size

[luna7996]

I think the shirts might just be black shirts with the pic for the cover of A Best and the 6 alternative covers for the first press.

No POWDER SNOW or As if, who cares?

[tsumekaze_]

POWDER SNOW is great.

[Delirium-Zer0]

I can understand As if... not making the tracklist of the original A BEST, but I REALLY do think POWDER SNOW should have been on there. It was a pretty big factor in her first album reaching number one.

I wish this version of A BEST was gonna correct the mistakes of the original version by including songs like POWDER SNOW, monochrome, and evolution that REALLY should have been included, and using the HAL's mix of Fly high instead of the album version.

Since it's avex you're probably getting a password to enter a website, choose your tee size and see a pic of it but you can't download or buy it, only stream it. And it'll be up half an year after the re-release is out.

[Ryusei]

Well, ayu picked the songs for A BEST so maybe she didn't like it as much at the time (POWDER SNOW)

[douggn]

This does give her a chance to rest her voice and focus on her tour without being locked away recording, and keeps avex happy with a release. Though we will probably get SEASONS or M if she does a tv live performance

[SpiceSquad!]

me want

[mizuki-7]

Come on !! If avex is not interested to invest in Ayu anymore so it must be the same for nearly all there artists under the label ... Beside the LDH family/namie Amuro they don't have any big artists ! AAA have a decent success but that's it !

[Next_Level29]

ayu made so much money for avex. we shouldnt even consider that avex dont want to.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Avex doesn't really invest in any of thei "Avex" label artists. Even AAA have pretty basic videos that don't require a lot of funding.

The artists on sub labels tend to have very different budgeting. Avex used to sell based on name alone. It can't do that now. (No label can)

[Aderianu]

ayu really exciting about this release. I don't get why

What is she's going to do better... going to check how songs remastered? I think it's impossible for her to make so massive promotion with 40 magazines and TV appearance like she did in 2001.

[Ryusei]

She hated this release when it came out and several years after that, so "making it better than 15 years ago" must mean she rejoiced about it lol
