TOTALLY!

I am... REALLY DISAPPOINTED! How could they leave that out! OMG! I feel like writing a letter.

Another thing - WHY is there no RAINBOW? I know it was already on A BALLADS but so was Dearest.

Dearest IS OVERKILL - It's been on SOOOOO many things already. It was a single, It was on I am..., It was on A BALLADS + remixed to death!

It's like UGH! Enough with Dearest already! I know she likes it and whatever but EWWWW!

RAINBOW would've been WAYYYYYY better. And it was only on 1 other release.

Another thing.... NO ANGEL'S SONG! WTF? *slaps avex* It's really a disappointment to me.

And also to include walking proud and A song is born is an insult! Those songs are so ew!

Worst BEST collection EVER!

Syphex · #**142** 16th January 2007, 01:27 AM

okay.

why is ourselves in the white version. the PV, lyrics and music just scream to be put on the black version. same goes for Moments, that's more of a depressing song then an uplifting one a la UNITE or something.

but I am really, really happy About you made it. That is my favorite song. I'm dumbfounded on some choices over others though....a lot of the songs weren't great hits anyway like independent. Why isn't RAINBOW there? Duty? M? ever free? Memorial Address? I am..? Those songs easily fit the 'troubled mood' theme that the black one has, more then dearest or walking proud.

Gah for the 1000th time, the timeframe of the best album is from evolution up until Bold & Delicious/Pride. That's why there's no Duty, M, or ever free. They were candidates for A BEST and only M made it.

Well first of all the songs are only selected from "evolution" through "Bold & Delicious/Pride", so that eliminates "M" and "Duty". Now "ever free" was a B-side to start with so I HIGHLY doubt that'd be on the album especially since "Bold & Delicious/Pride" didn't make it on either of the Best Ofs. Lastly I don't think any of the title tracks would really work on the best of... but I was surprised by "walking proud" being on the compilation. That should have been switched out with "alterna".

Hmm I also wonder what their gonna do with "NEVER EVER" and "A Song is born" considering neither have PVs.

Since "walking proud" is included I hope we get a new rendition of it, but it is one of my favorite ballads so I don't mind it being featured on the disc.

-Edit-

Oops my reply was too slow! So ignore the first part!

LacusClyne · #**145** 16th January 2007, 01:54 AM

wait, it could be possible that the tracklist is removed because Avex wants the songs to have a pv? and since some of the tracks don't have, they took it down?

Chibi_Venus · #**146** 16th January 2007, 02:00 AM

^ Why? Did Avex have the tracklist up before?

I don't understand why people want alterna on this BEST collection. Okay, yes, it's an awesome song. But if you ask me, I don't really think alterna really fits the definition of "A BEST."

A Song is born is a touching song, though I don't understand the whole walking proud thing either. Maybe because it has a PV? Whatever, I'm still happy.

kyomiayu · #**147** 16th January 2007, 02:02 AM

i will surely buy both!

it could be someone submit the tracklist to mu-mo to put up, but Avex had changes so they made mu-mo to take it down?

greggerz189 · #**149** 16th January 2007, 02:19 AM

I'm really pleased with the tracklisting! There isn't anything from Secret on there, though...O_O Surprising. I wish Bold & Delicious was on there, though...

Coelacanth · #**150** 16th January 2007, 02:30 AM

The only one that kinda shocked me in being included is 'a song is born', but I'm very happy that it is. I wonder if that is going to be re-recorded, or if its going to the version with KEIKO or whatever (hopefully not).

I'm a little disappointed that they left out B&D and Pride, actually. They would have added a bit of her recent style to the albums. And I love those songs. 'Naturally', I thought should have definitely been included. Maybe it wasn't a popular album track, but I'd rather have that than 'Because of You'.

I kinda had a feeling alterna would be left out. Avex probably like hates that song.

I don't understand this either. These songs are really going to break the flow of the album, IMO.

EDIT: They shoulda really put flower garden on WHITE, it's only a 2 minute track and a concert favorite. It should have its own track number for once LOL.

truehappiness · #**151** 16th January 2007, 02:33 AM

I wonder if Ayu hand selected the bests herself pronally, with what she felt was "painful" or "bright."

I always thought that ourselves sounded somewhat enthusiastic by the end of the song..

Quote:

So
Even if no one in the world knows me
I wish you alone
To know me
Yes
Even if no one in the world knows us
We know each otherere
So well

I for one, never believed alterna to be on here anyway from the start. Surely, there's probably a reason. GAME and is this LOVE, while they were "second" a-sides, they were performed live at some point on television [I don't think album-focused concerts really count..] during the single's release.. so maybe it was the case for this best too? They didn't put Will either so..

DerrickRocks · #**152** 16th January 2007, 02:38 AM

dang mixed reviews its like (miss)understood all over again lol

truehappiness · #**153** 16th January 2007, 02:41 AM

Actually, I don't think these reviews are "mixed," it's just that a lot of people were expecting a few other songs.

Being a best, she's included JUST ABOUT every single song that she's made over the 19-single span between evolution and B&D [except for B&D and forgiveness] and a few album tracks that have their own promotional videos. I don't really see what anyone could see wrong with these lists in the first place..

moombasista · #**154** 16th January 2007, 02:42 AM

Yeah but why Dearest again? o.o Its so ew now

if you put the songs Dolls, Close to you, and Dearest all on, one after another, i wouldnt be able to tell oyu which was which. They are some of the few songs i dont know really well. [Mostl i dont know lovePPEARS and A Soing for XX songs] but yeah i know all the songs from I am .. on with only the exceptions of the songs i named above.

kotora · #**156** 16th January 2007, 02:48 AM

If there is no Dearest in this BEST Album, then HANABI will not also be in the BEST because they both were in A BALLADS, two different singles, remixed album, and so on.

Hold on, who the **** wants to see my post? I highly doubt people would read in here. Snotty memebers just like to complain how worst the albums are and never reads.

I said it because of the Inuyasha tie-in.
Most people know Ayu either from THIS SONG or evolution from some AMV. ;p

And I differentiate the songs by:
Close to you -> Xmas song with bells
Dearest -> has the "ah.. _________"
Dolls -> Don't know..

I usually have to look at the title :O

moombasista · #**158** 16th January 2007, 02:52 AM

I really wanted RAINBOW and alterna to be included

It makes me wonder why people aren't whining about the lack of Will.. :p

Perhaps Ayu doesn't consider either to be her "best" work? Or maybe there's another force at work here?

And for RAINBOW, it was already the main focus of A BALLADS, so there's no need to put it on this compilation. :\

I wonder if this was.. "rigged" lol
