Thank you very much Alessia ^__^.
Nice to see the promotion started but I hope there will be a lot of inside promotion (TV, magazines, good tie-in) not only outside promotion (posters) since just that won't extremely help >_<.

[truehappiness]

True.

But it still was going to hit a million regardless, I'd think. [A MUSEUM and COMPLETE CLIP BOX were released the week just before it hit the million.]

That's why i say this A Complete should have ALL her PVs thus far. With modern technology, is it possible to stuff it all in 1 DVD? And of course, a
2nd DVD for the TA and a-nation stuff... ~Wishful and proudful~

With modern technology, they would be able to jam it all onto a Blu-ray disc, but how many people have Blu-ray players here? [I have a PS3, lol.] But yeah. you can only fit so much onto a DVD, and that's why COMPLETE CLIP BOX is like 3 discs long. There's only so much video you can put on a DVD at high quality..

Totally thought of a good idea for a cover. She can be sitting in the room she's in in the poker face photo shoot, appearing as she is now, holding a copy of the original press of poker face and staring at it, and then in small pretty cursive it can say

"A Complete~All Singles 1998-2008~"

F'ing awesome.

tbh, that's a terrible idea. What would the alternate cover be then? Ayu staring at the camera?

It's okay if it was for like, a magazine, but for such a grand collection of music? I dunno.

But that's too concentrated on poker face. There should be something that has a 'through the ages' feeling. How about a 2 by 5 segmentation of the cover showing something from each year, maybe the unreleased album covers of asfxx to guilty.

[GRACE]

Well, her facial expression would be reflective ;_;... Maybe the CD+DVD could have her with A Song for XX and the CD could have her with poker face, I dunno, it was just an idea >.>

[amorphose]

I do like the idea of present Ayu being in a past Ayu setting. Maybe something a little different than GRACE's idea though because having a material item like that on the cover would be weird... haha

[GRACE]

Well, I was going to say a photo from the poker face photo shoot, but then I thought it'd be too vague. Or, they could have Ayu looking into the mirror and reflect her back as poker face Ayu, I'm sure they could get it to work with modern technology.

[truehappiness]

I don't think that sort of cover would sit well with fans. Like sure, it's a nice concept, but for a single best?

The covers will either be extremely extravagant and shot by Leslie Kee, or it'll go the route of many single bests and not even feature her on the cover.

PLEASE be the former and not the latter. I'm going to barf if it is.

[I'd say that the concept of Ayu using outfits from her single covers would be best imo. Like, she's imitating her old looks, but with a new Ayu flair. I dunno about setting, as a black or white room would be fine with me... but like, she'd have 5 of her on one cover, and another 5 on another, and the rest of the "looks" are in the album booklet [no not the extra PB.]

Basically, she'd be doing the covers like this, with multiple Ayus in the same photo. Glamorous and classy, imo.]

Leslie Kee did a similar shot to the concept I'm talking about with Yuming [Yumi Matsutoya, Ayu is often compared to her], except really ugly.

[GRACE]

Really, I'd think the whole reflective, Ayu 10 years ago and Ayu now is perfect for a 10th anniversary theme o_o

It's perfect for anyone's Xth anniversary, but I don't think everyone does it necessarily because it's extremely predictable, and it'd be like "Oh, we saw that from a MILE AWAY."

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

wouldnt it be funny if like, her old songs got re-tied in? haha but that wont happen i think the only promotion this will get is like...bilboards, posters, a CM, and magazines. maybe she'll go sing old songs on tv shows...but she did that with a best 2...i dont think shed do it again *shrug*

does anyone think that the cover wont feature ayu at all? i feel like it'll just be a giant A...and the alternate cover would be different colors or something...iunno im hoping for something more than that, though. or mybe the box will just be a giant A? haha xD im gunna stop talking

[truehappiness]

It'll be interesting to note that this best is HUGE. I wonder if they'll just have 3 booklets, one for each CD... and with like, no new photos.

Oi, this is becoming somewhat disappointing in my head right now, since it might come out really really really cheap.

[apple-pi]

Dear god, the more I think about it, the more I think it'll probably really really probably be just a huge A on the cover, or a collage of all her single covers...

Hopefully they'll surprise us ;_;

[GRACE]

^That's what the "box" or whatever the first press comes in will be like, for sure, not sure about the disc cases inside though >.>

So far, it's just called an anniversary box.

There's not even any information other than that, so how can you assume something like that with no proof? Sure, it's likely, but... don't assume that it'll be anything, especially since we have no idea how it'll turn out.

[GRACE]

^I made it an assumption by writing "for sure"... That's my honest assumption of what the box itself will have on it.

[GRACE]

^It makes sense to focus on poker face since that was her debut. Although, she could have pictures all around her of her first singles. That'd be cool too.

[Ayumi_lover]

i hope it will be something surprising.
and maybe cover will be something in A Bests style?? like her HUGE face and nothing more)))
