[Official Message] New Album.

[xLuna&1LOVE]

^ lol I can't haha.

So, can anyone explain me why people are hoping for A BEST 3? I read this every time she is about to release something new. I just do not understand why people want it so badly.

[miki_beland]

A BEST was released March 28th, 2001. SO tomorrow January 28th, will be announced that we get A BEST 3 on March 28th, 15th Anniversary seems likely.

[mi|kshake]

Hyped for the announcement even if I most likely won't be buying A Best 3. I'd be up for buying it if it was done in the style of A Ballads or Namie's Love Enhanced and Ballada. A selection of the best songs some of which will be resung or remixed and a couple of new tunes.

This makes so sense, and again... It's not on Wednesday though. And, it will be 18th Anniversary this year.

I'd rather ayu re-release her first 4 albums in ways similar to GLAY's Anthology releases or Utada Hikaru's special edition of First Love, with bonus material and reprinted flyers and a behind-the-scenes book with rare photos. Maybe include some demos, a DVD of Secret Live at Akasaka Blitz, I dunno man. Just stuff like that. I'd LOVE that.

I, personally, am very open to this. Don't know how much of a possibility it is, but I would welcome a release like this.

I would drop dead

[BlackSilence]

to be frankly honest, i couldn't care less for best albums, i really don't, unless she, like, rerecords everything and the songs rearranged. If it's not that, i don't care about it. I need NEW material. I don't care for concert dates, tours, DVDs or any other recycled crap. GIVE ME NEW STUFF. I could look away if she released a best of album and then album of new material together. I'd be fine with that. Anything less, i'm not curious.

I would die. I'd be so excited but sadly I think we all know it's not gonna happen.

[Next_Level29]

i think she should wait for it 'til her 20th anniversary. it will fit the situation better because A BEST is something special to release and not something you throw just in the world.
But i like the idea someones mentioned earlier that a best 3 should be the title of the new album but than i think, a best is a series of best of. it doesnt do what it supposed to do.

long words short attention: Ayu, not yet please

[Andrenekoi]

Her 20th anni will probably be celebrated with an A Complete II, not with an A Best.

And neither A Bests were released at some special day.

Kinda ironic if you think about how Ayu herself thought it was too early to throw out a best album and Avex just pushed her to it against her will

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

The reason I always enjoyed best albums was the promotional tours that went along with them. Going on tons of TV shows, magazines, etc.

But I have a feeling this will go unpromoted. So I'm looking forward to the additional songs assuming there are some.

Of course if she surprises us with promotion I'll be overjoyed haha.

[Yoake]

Imagine if the A BEST 3 is a best cd + a tribute cd. As it seems to be a trend, it could happen.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I'd be so excite if it were coupled with a tribute album. But with how late Ayu's team seems to be at planning stuff, who knows how far in advance they would've needed to have this concept haha.

[JinHamasaki]

If she stayed at home to write new music, I don't think we will see another A BEST. However, she has all these A BEST images posted lately, so I am a little confused...

I would happier if it was a cover album instead of a tribute album. Or maybe a bundle with all three??
