This happens from times to times... Someone asks her something that she can't really answer (like explaining the whole concept of a release, as it limit the way people can understand it themselves, making the overall release less relatable and less powerful) she gives a vague, diplomatic answer, people let imagination go wild, some theory get more popular than the others, everyone starts acting like that was official and when things go on a different way the meltdown starts.

I couldn't remember if it was Ayu's team that hyped it or us here on the forum. I still didn't really get the idea of it. It's not like you can hear influences from the very early part of her career, or that she wrote a bunch of songs about us all being united, or that she wrote nothing but songs about loneliness. It's not a very typical Ayu record either. So, I'm a little clueless as to what A ONE means, other than to say that this may be her settling into a specific sound again for awhile.

Still surprised at the sales for A ONE. This must be a very well received album to have done so well market-wise.

And STILL with A BEST... I wonder if Ayu is happy about it or if she's still silently cringing because she didn't want A BEST to be released the way it was... Silly. DAE know if A BEST 2 is selling as well?
