Well in a way i am happy it's not a best 3, and we will get a bonus track, right? Rather poor extra but still something. I wonder if anything else will be different. And delax? I will start to think that those spelling mistakes are on purpose.

I doubt it. Avex surely re-releases it because it sell well digitally.

Not that it has any relevance when it comes to physical sales I suppose that is not the only reason. A BEST was a very big release for Ayu (and jpop), performed with personal struggles but still quite significant. It's also a way of bringing back to public (although i'm not expecting much promo) her classic sound.

I guess it's better if this release like that A BEST 2, when on one version she add a CDL DVD. Add one new song and a PV is just too stingy.

edit: Okay... the deluxe version surely kinda awesome.

This was very likely after yesterday.

Btw. all the songs are remastered by Stephen Marcussen in LA.
Deluxe edition comes with an anniversary book with photos and documents (e.g. her written lyric sheets) and a shirt. The shirt comes in 7 designs, but they're randomly packed in the box.

Just one stupid question as it isn't said on her website..
Why the hell does the box contain a DVD and a Blu-Ray with the same content? 0.o

So there is either the deluxe version with DVD, BluRay and other stuff or just the CD?
That's a bummer :/ I would have liked to have the DVD + anniversary book but I don't think I can afford around 90€ for stuff that I don't need/can't use such as the BluRay which also makes the whole thing a bit more expensive...
I really have to think about that :/

So the song is just re-mastered, but not re-arranged or re-sung, right?

I was confused about this too.



Anyway, I'm looking forward to this! It's an iconic Jpop release. I'd love if they went full throttle in terms of promotion.

I want that too. I will be in Japan for the release and I want to see a lot of promo. Maybe they will put Ayu on Shibuya 109.

I loved A BEST, I love my own a best copy and this release is ridiculous, I'm sorry.
This is nothing new except for these bonus things. And this is really, really expensive.
It's great to celebrate the 15th anniversary of this Best who marked the Jpop - That I agree with - but it's too much. I just have the impression that it's just to make more money, money, money.
This release is just for hardcore fans I think. A collector: nothing more, nothing less.
