and you gotta use the computer to listen to it. iPods dumb down quality big time.

i listened to it with my new apple earphones, damn the bass is amazing.. and the bridge makes me shiver

[PrincessJenni]

I must say i LOVE this mini album. It's much better than the previous. If you have a good pair of headphones like Delicious n Bold said it's totally worth it.

Favourite is definitely Wake me Up

^ They say it's not 100% confirmed yet

But sounds like something Avex would do lol

[AyUmIXx]

yay for arena tour 2012! hope it's true..coz i can't wait!

[ayu_ready?]

predictable. I hoped for more new music

[freedreamer]

think A BEST 3 will be coupled with CDL again..at least it gives me reason to buy

[brener]

a best album is pretty needed at this moment of her career =\ so id be happy if A BEST isnt a fake information... it would boost her sales hopefully!

[AYUCREA]

DVD of Arena Tour 2012 is predictable,but A BEST3....NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd like to see the 5th release is a full album instead of a best album...
Best album is unnecessary...it would ruin herself again like A SUMMER BEST...
Please no more BEST album...............!!!!!!

[brener]

idk, her new stuff isnt happening.... i think she needs to get on hiatus like hikki, i rly dont know whats wrong with japanese people

[owlflight]

Hope that prediction isn't real because I don't buy her concert releases and I really want that code! Plus I'm not really a fan of the tour's concept and setlist... I want another great music release!

That's true for older iPods, the newer models have practically no quality loss compared to average to good Computer Sound cards if one can believe a couple blind tests.
But yeah, "snowy kiss" has such a complex, full arrangement and tight mix that it was made for good speakers(or, even better: headphones). If you listen on anything but amazing speakers the reflection of the sound from all around you will make this particular track sound muffled when the mix is incredibly clear really. And headphones obviously get rid of the reflection problem entirely.
So as long as you don't have awful earphones/headphones.(hello Apple! Producing the worst earphones on the market but making them so "stylish" that everyone uses them and selling them with iPods to make sure everyone got a pair!)

That's why I found this hilarious

If one of those releases would be the concert DVD I'm pissed. That wouldn't be a gift to fans, 'cos we would get it anyway.

[My Rainbow]

Better not be A BEST 3 one of the releases... I am really tired of BEST albums... Ayumi doesn't need a BEST album, we don't need a BEST album, the world doesn't need a BEST album.

We had A SUMMER BEST recently and if we didn't have it, NOBODY WOULD GIVE A **** ABOUT IT.

Ayu, release A BEST 3 in 6 years, at least!

[Delicious n Bold]

That fb page better have been fake.
Otherwise this whole 15th anniversary thing was just a huge waste of time and would have done more damage than good.
The music we got so far was good, but ayu's image has been ripped up even further.

[TeamAyu2004]

^ it should be.
When all this started it said that it would be 5 months of new music.

[Foyuki]

it's a fake news leaked from oriconbar too......speechless

[Beauty4123]

i've listened to "again" & i think it's a great mini album! i like all the songs, but i think my most favorite song is "Snowy kiss", but "Wake me up" is awesome, too.
