"A COMPLETE ~ALL SINGLES~" 09.10 in stores

[Kaiouforever]

Didn't she already milk people with A BEST 2? At least that had 1 new song...

Although at least these tracks will be remastered. Doesn't mean they will be that different though, the arrangement might be minimal. =[

I want new material instead of best albums and intro tracks turned into singles xD

The taking-down of the album by avex on mu-mo AND TeamAyu is suspicious.

They could be tacking on 10th anniversary versions on certain tracks.

It's up for real. No 10th anniversary add-ons but eh. THEY CAN STILL DO SOMETHING!

It did?! I am so surprised..
I know very little about her... just casual listener.
Which song!! I wanna know~ maybe to compare. LOL
Thanks so much for that interesting information.

[hamasaki_edwin]

i just realized that this album really contains ONLY A-side track...

[truehappiness]

Yeah.. that's why it's called an A-side single best album in the Japanese articles.

Yes but that was in 2000...when Ayu was at one of the high points of her career. Back then she could of released anything and it would be guaranteed success<_>. The same thing goes for that KAT-TUN comparrison. When they made their "official" debut they were the hottest thing in JE so of course everyone would buy their stuff. Modern day Ayu is no where close to 2000 era Ayu/KAT-TUN when they debuted.

aaaa if she does decide to do that I would hope the bulk of the promo goes to the new single, seeing as a best/compilation/whatever this album is doesn't really need that much promotion, cause it's all past released stuff.

How lame that B'z best album is coming out the week after. She could've had a 2 week #1 on her hands!

Unless they're planning on redoing random songs like A BEST... which is likely.

I have to agree with you and truehappiness on that and the photo book is all I am looking foward to this release.

[waterballoon]

I will buy this, no matter what!

I hope this will be the beginning of the Real celebration of her 10th Anniversary!

[yamogi]

Avex is out of their mind!!!!!!!!!
It is really unfair to those who brought A BEST2 last year....
I'm speechless...

[bokutachi]

i will buy this if i have the money. i'm kinda disappointed that no new single/album for this summer


COME ON AYU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DogboyShugo]

I think I'll buy this for sure. There's another band i listen to that released something very similar last year. The band is Access. They released 3 disks of their BEST and a DVD with 6 of their recent PV's. Since this is such a huge Ayu collection, chances are I will buy it.

Again, no one ever said that they aren't planning a release for after this..

Usually a thing like this leads into a new single, or comes directly after one..

Well, A COMPLETE isn't really A BEST 2, in a sense that A COMPLETE is a collection of ALL of Ayu's A-Side singles from poker face to Mirrorcle World.

A BEST 2 is a collection of singles/songs from the evolution era (2001) to HEAVEN (2005).

Still, I think A COMPLETE is just cool beyond words. Smart marketing for releasing the Limited TA Live on DVD...

[Surreal]

****. Not again. I know I'm gonna get this but I already have everything..argh..

[truehappiness]

Well, you probably don't have the unreleased covers or the DVD content in HQ.. so.. might as well.

[Zeke.]

STFU!!! OMG how AMAZING! I didn't even read about it yet I just had to post my thoughts right away! God there goes my bank amount.

EDIT: Well I guess this isn't actually that expensive after all! Quite a deal! I'm excited for Who... ~10th Anniversary Version~. I wish she'd release new material instead though. I mean, they could have definately done more than ONE ~10th Anniversary Version~ song... Also, a lot of the good coupling A-side tracks such as GAME and is this LOVE? are not included.

[panda♥]

So none of these songs she re-sang or anything? They're just all of the A-sides and the TA tour, right?

[truehappiness]

All the A-sides, plus unreleased a-nation footage [like ASFXX at a-nation 06 and such] and TeamAyu tour.
