what do you think about the release of 'A Complete'?

[hanabi2]

actually i think the release time between 'A best 2' and this 'A complete' is too close to each other, it's only about 1 year and half...luckily it has a special live DVD, otherwise for die-hard fans, the repeating of released songs is really too much...

but i guess i will treat this as a kind of special goods for her 10th anniversary....anyway, i will still buy it

I like it, I think it's a brilliant release for her 10th.
However, it would be a WHOLE lot better, if she didn't release AB2 last year -.-
Cause' now this seems like a silly move, where as I feel it's a lot better.

I think releasing A COMPLETE is a good idea to celebrate her 10th year anniversary in the industry.

But releasing this is not that nice due to those who've own A BEST 2 ~BLACK~ & ~WHITE~.
The one thing that makes the release more interesting is that the DVD on it has the exclusive footage of TEAM AYU and A NATION performances and lastly, the 43 or 48 pages of unreleased single covers.

Even though AVEX release this product, im not gonna buy it because there are some really good songs that aren't included like Greatful days or is this LOVE? and I like to buy the singles one-by-one.

I like the complilation of songs, and the DVD content, plus the photobook. It's a nice way to celebrate her 10th anniversary, though a bit close to A BEST 2. This release is more interesting to me than the A BEST 2 releases because the DVD versions didn't have much for me, and weren't worth getting.

um...and the all the songs are re-mastered according to the web info, i guess it adds another point...

i agree completely. it's the nth time we get songs like boys and girls, ASFXX or M on compilations. i would have wanted her to release a new album.

I like the idea, especially if you get the first press edition; and get the 48 page booklet of her unreleased single covers. To me it seems like a pretty good idea, but I wish she would but a few new songs in there

I agree!

I think this would have made a lot more sense if A BEST 2 hadn't been released last year. Now it just looks like A BEST 2 was a bit of a waste...

I personally like the idea of A COMPLETE SINGLES better than A BEST 2.

[~Tsubasa~]

I think it's a great idea, especially the DVD!!!!!

The things I'm most interested in are the DVD and photobook. I have most of her songs, so the only one that appeals to me on this is Who...

[Jwiz]

Due to the release of A BEST 2 and the fact that it is actually A(lmost) complete, i'm afraid that A COMPLETE will have lackluster sales =/

BUTBUT i love the dvd; has alot of nice videos to watch! =p

I really hope that A COMPLETE can do well in terms of sales.

I think it's awesome.It has the TeamAyu concert and things from a-nation,and a booklet!
And I don't care if A Best 2 was released a year before.

Anyway; I like the idea and the content is awesome [DVD wise anyway]

[pommy48]

i like it~ i'm really excited for the limited TA tour...though i'm still thinking of getting it or not~ but the dvd content looks good~

[Ayumi27]

I like the idea of celebrating the 10th anniversary with a compilation, but A Best 2 should have been released years earlier in 1 CD (Evolution, Never Ever, Endless Sorrow, Unite!, Dearest, Daybreak, A Song is Born, Free & Easy, Independent, Hanabi, July 1st, Voyage, Greatful Days, Ourselves, Forgiveness, No Way to Say) to make A Complete have more sense

[Minttulatte]

A COMPLETE is wonderful idea imo. Though I thought A BEST 2 would had been enough, but that was already released. But A COMPLETE, I guess, gives us a good image of how much Ayu has improved as a singer. Besides I want to hear how remastered versions of 1999-2000 songs sound. Poker face... <3

[pommy48]

now that i actually see the price for 3CD+DVD, it's not that expensive, it's 4,800 yen and the 3CD is 3,800 yen, so the 3CD+DVD is only $10 USD more expensive than the 3CD~

A Best was to mark the end of ayu's first chapter, A Best 2 the second. A Complete is the mark her 10th anniversary. I don't think it's relavant to say both compilations were released too soon one after the other since the purposes for their release are completely different.

I'm really glad something like this came out. MW was awesome but having THAT to commemorate her 10th anniversary just had 'odd' dripping all over it. When AB2 came out, I was wondering if there's anything left for the year after but they managed to squeeze something out. I'm happy to be able to own something to add to my ayu collection and the cover is a work of art. And not a shabby piece of the collection too.
