Hamasaki: Because they felt difficult to listen to somehow (laughs). My vocal approach has changed since I first started. When I lined the songs up, I felt they were difficult to listen to.

wow I forgot she recorded new vocals for Trust, the song I used to dislike so much and started to like it just like 3-5 years ago. I always listen to original version and now I tried to listen to A BEST ver. and it's painful to listen, I don't know why. she sounds so sad

[Zeke.]

I looooove the A BESt version of Trust. I never thought it was a special standout track but the A BEST version changed that.

[primavera♥]

I never realized that Trust was a different version since I only listen to A Best to hear that version of A Song for xx which I love more than the original.

So I'm listening to it now and am so fascinated lol. The changes in ayu's vocals will always probably fascinate me though.

[Uknow!]

^ End roll was different too. And depend of you? I don't remember.

[Aderianu]

Yes, the advertised vocal changes were A Song for XX, Trust, Depend on you. I always wondered why End roll was not advertised as a new vocal mix. Was it part of her rebellion to avex?

Boys & Girls received a new arrangement, too.
