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?

Also... are you telling me we are only going to have 5 videos on the 2nd DVD? Lol I’m sure there are some surprises to come yet...
I posted a few pages back what defines a Ballad - where in general in music it is a slow, nostalgic song, a BALLAD is more defined by its structure (telling a stroy) which also makes songs like Last minute, Return Road, alterna and maybe even fairyland and Sweet Season ballads.

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.

Same here. I suddenly broke out in tears, when she started to sing the lyrics in the preview video. I love her live performance of that song so much.<3

Thank you Ayu.Now, I can perfectly live with the whole "A Ballads 2" concept.

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!

Forgot to wear my clown’s makeup. The PV will only be included on that version, nothing more: https://avex.jp/ayu/discography/

Which to this day remains one of the best live performances she's ever done, a must see. I knew AHS would be freaking out when I heard the teaser.
