I'm totally on this theory, too. And if there would actually be any meaning behind why it's hidden, apart from it adding to the hype, I'm sure it's too obscure for us to ever figure without a clear hint or closer relation to Ayu.

avex keep it hidden because to avoid tracklisting unfairness (hoep sthats a the right word)
-BLACK- has 15 songs
-WHITE- hads 15 songs
if they did nto keep it hidden on the -BLACK- side then it will ruin the tracklisting and will nto be equal and balanced. ^^

By any chance, does anyone have the original version in mp3?

Why are people disappointed that the hidden track is Memorial address? It's not as if this is an album with new songs and Ayu probably had this planned long ago or the first version wouldnt have had ~take 2 version~.. right? ^^ Memorial address is a song especially important to her and may be the reason as to why it was chosen to be the hidden track. I doubt she re-sang it because the way she dragged " Tatta ichido de iikara" in the second chorus stayed the same; it's still wavering

Well... the song is sad, yes. For me, Memorial address is one of her best songs. Slightly diferent from the others. Dont know why, but I have the feeling. Also I like it when the first part is ballad and the second rock ^^

[extepan]

ummm the hidden track is memorial address take 2 version, the same one found in MA album?

yeah i am a little disapoointed that there is no new track, but i am not surprised by it in retrospect. they would have been wiser to put one new track on each cd than to put two new tracks all on black.

[Chibi_Venus]

Even though BLACK has the same number of songs as WHITE, BLACK technically has more songs than WHITE. That's the only reason I'm disappointed. What about WHITE?

Nah, I'm good.

By the way, what is being said at the beginning of the song on the mini album? I have no experience whatsoever in understanding the Japanese language, so could someone translate? (I hate the assumption that we can ALL read or understand Japanese. Not that anyone's said it, just... Whatever.)

[slowmoth]

Maybe the song is really important to her but she was limited to put the same number of songs in both and it didn't fit in the white version

[truehappiness]

Her bests are her longest single CD albums to date ;D [duh.]

A BEST 1 -> 76:01
A BEST 2 -WHITE- -> 75:26
A BEST 2 -BLACK- -> 76:19

I think a bonus track for WHITE could've been possible, but it could've pushed the limits of the space on a single CD..

That makes sense enough.

[alternarist]

i think the very own fact that Memorial address is a sad songs makes it eligible to be in the BLACK version. oh well.. or we may jus find that there is no lyrics of MA in BLACK... same as that in MA (the album).

think to much..lol
