[Official Message] 『A SUMMER BEST』8. August 2012

[jbrat2219]

I was mad when I first saw this because a summer best is a bit lazy (and copy-cat) to me. Kuu has a reason, she's pregnant so a summer best makes a bit sense. Plus she is Queen of best albums....

That being said... the great selection and live clips totally makes this release worth it. BUYING IT!!!

A bit bummed about only one new song

[Violently Happy]

Awww no Ourselves? T_T

[jewelbox]

I wanna hear the new song alreadyy

[Earth_maiden]

The DVD makes it worth it for me. I NEED THAT BLOSSOM PERFORMANCE.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

yeah I'm going to buy it too for sure, I want the rest of the a-nation performances, as well as the new song+pv, hopefully we get good covers just like the poster!!

Ayu & Kuu are surely the Queens of summer

[pimenta]

YAY, there's a new song! *-*

And that picture... GORGOEUS!!

[ayuuk]

The DVD makes it worth buying I guess... Otherwise a single would be much cooler.

[freedreamer]

Ohhh..ITS A A-NATION COMPILATION LIVE? ok that makes it more worth it now

[elvesword]

Looks great!

[inthezone]

Ayu and Kuu need to transfer to a different label

[YUKARI]

I'm curious how much it will sell... Well, I'll buy this for sure.

[Jester]

LOL, that's okay.

[Bigtop]

Now I have to be honest to say this: This is one of those releases that I am...NOT anticipating on. No. It's kind of nice, but I just don't understand why she would release something like this.

I have to also wonder...why would she do a TA poll just to create this album? Hmm... I'm not sure how this would cater - would this fit new Ayu fans as this gives out a selection of songs specific to the summer theme (sampling)? Or would this be something that collectors of Ayu's music releases with another compilation of some sort?

We'll just have to wait and see - but at least it's NOT on the week that AKB48's releasing their new album that would release on the week after Ayu's...

I wanted a summer single, but what's going on really with Ayu? At least there's a new song inside this album that you won't see anywhere else...

Kind of agree, but that's very UNLIKELY...

[HilaryDuffFanboy]

Even the price is exorbitant for barely anything new.

[yamadashun]

i wonder if avex will release a A WINTER BEST few years from now...

anyway i can't wait to see the covers and listen to the new song!

[YUKARI]

they just want money, isn't it obvious?

well, at least she may appear on TV again! and this makes me happy

[Aderianu]

^that's possible... she has two free weeks between 29th July and 11th August

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

Yeah, hopefully we get good promotion

The good thing is that people who aren't happy with this can just ignore it, they don't have to buy it lol At least they get one new song and pv, which could count as a summer single I guess.

[AyUmIXx]

yay i'm happy for teh news because it's first time for ayu to release a summer best album.
waiting for the new song.
and i'm wondering where did she film the "you and me" PV~

[YUKARI]

^ it's said to be filmed overseas. hmmm Bali may be?
