I joined in 2007 but this song is like a ghost in the fandom lol I'm surprised you didn't know about it. Although seeing you only showed up on the forum a couple of years ago, makes sense why

Pride is great! I loved the entire single back then and I'm probably pretty much alone with this. You can watch the 2003 performance on youtube, though! Also, there should be a download of a better quality somewhere here at ahs, I guess. Oh and you should give the original a try, it's amazing! I hope you enjoy it as well as Ayu's versions. ♡

I personally won't expect much because Team Ayu phones it in more often than not lol but maybe we'll get some making of the covers or something else?

I would love this too. I always think the DVD contents for any album should elaborate the makings or behind the scenes of its conception, but ayu's albums have always shied away from this kind of material. the closest we ever got was a series of making-ofs for the PVs.

like, especially for best-of albums, I would love to hear her thoughts about why she wanted to release them.

I think my heart just skipped a beat... I never thought we’d ever get a proper studio version of this song. Great move! I was so sure the PV is for Pray for you.

I guess we're getting 31 songs then, at least, assuming that Pray for you will also be included.

I was so close with reading the lyrics off her lips LOL i literally missed ONE letter for the search to give me Haru yo koi LOL goddamnit.

I'm also glad to see Memorial Address there too. It's probably my favourite Ayu song.

Could Pray for you be a secret track on the other disc then? And I can't believe we're not only getting a studio version of Haru yo, koi but we're also getting a PV! It's one of my favourite songs of all time and I love ayu's version!
