Thinking about kanariya erasure, do you guys remember she fainted while recording the PV? Also -if I put it into polite words- do you guys remember that in the making of kanariya she was exposed more than she wanted? Maybe she just don't wanna remember these things and all the pressure she was undergoing while recording this song specifically...

Just a theory!

[Evolution7/4]

^Is that the bit where she fell asleel but they needed to carry her sleeping body to a new location and when she woke up she freaked out cuz she was in a whole other place

I think that wasn't happend just once. She worked nonstop at the beginning, so if she wants to forget all such things, she need to erase few years from the memory

If someone interested, thats about ntv special dovumentary 2000

[ストロボ・EdGE]

About the appears cover: definitely not defending it, but kogal or not, it’s futile applying today’s Western wokeness to Japan, plain and simple. Especially the one-dimensional self-satisfying Internet variety.

Went to #4.

I FEEL THE SAME

kanariya was the song that introduced me into ayu 15 years ago, after songs like Seasons or Dearest didn't capture my atenttion. for me a great "One of a Kind" song, and a gem as an original song and it great remixes

[hidekirby]

They used Appears as the backcover apparently.

You can see photos of the packaging here :

Awesome, girl still breaks records!!
It's saying that the album sold 6k for its first week and ranked 9th ?
If you wanna compare, A BEST -15th anniversary- sold 9k in its first week...3 years ago!

I'm pretty sure that is because of the Book M! It was a good promo after all.

[Aderianu]

^it's also because of huge discount

[truehappiness]

I feel like A COMPLETE is on discount rather often at least digitally. Where was it on sale physically?

[Corvina]

#9 on its first week, selling 5,535.

There's a website on the booklet that I'm pretty sure it's the exact same version of the website that was online 20 years ago

For a remastered album #9 isn't that bad chart position if you ask me. I wish it was better because LOVEppears is a masterpiece but shit happens, lol.

[attractive nausea]

I hoped that the book and upcoming drama would have the general public buy this remastered version, but it seems that only fans bought it...
