[Official Message] A BEST -15th Anniversary Edition-

[ayumisrael]

I wonder if avex and ayu wishes and would make some promotion work.

A BEST is so mono no aware for the Japanese so it might work.

[ayuro74]

anyone know if there will be any TA version?

I don't wanna do the same error I did on Arena 2015, preorder on cdjapan, and lost the TA version

[~angel*ayumi~]

Ta Versions and TA/mu-mo Pre-Order Links are usally revaled later, so atm nobody can´t tell you if there will be a TA Version.

I'm holding my finger from clicking "proceed" on CDJ now...

[Gustavopc]

If there's a TA version I wonder how much more it's gonna cost lol My GUESS is that there won't be, but maybe we'll get something more next week...

Sounds really dramatic!

[aliceshields]

^ Not really XD I just don't want to repeat the same mistake for the Arena Tour 2015

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Well I already ordered from amazon.co.jp so I'll be annoyed if they announce it later. I don't get why they do that. Shouldn't be too difficult to cancel though if need be.

[rainbow_smile]

That's why I don't pre-order until they post the TA shop/mu-mo order links these days lol

[ayuuk]

Almost 10000 yen!? So pricey!!!

They aren't expecting great sales because the investment on making the new album is practically zero, hence the benefits of each copy sold is much higher than a regular album

Like when KARA re-released all of their singles in one release, it sold 1,300 copies only but because it was frigging expensive the agency got lucrative returns

I already have A best and enough of other expensive things that collect dust. So not gonna be getting this.

It's not like they will make tons of money, even if the release is very expensive compared to an usual album, the low sales make the overall financial return very far from bring anything to write home about. And they still has to spend on printing, logistic, etc.

I wish they also make a cover versions of the album by other artists like she did with Hikki and Globe.

It would definitely be amazing if she did re-record the tracks, though, but I doubt it as well. Avex loves to just repackage albums repeatedly.

I have a doubt about the t-shirt in the deluxe version, if they send it randomly also they send randomly size and gender? I´m doubting about bought this or not, it´s so expensive.

[aliceshields]

^ I guess the T-shirt will be free size

[luna7996]

I think the shirts might just be black shirts with the pic for the cover of A Best and the 6 alternative covers for the first press.

No POWDER SNOW or As if, who cares?

[tsumekaze_]

POWDER SNOW is great.
