It should be enough to keep her afloat for at least another year or so, imo

LOL

IMO, with a best this big, it's almost impossible to 'flop' :\

If Mika, whose sales barely reach above 50k++, and with an album that sold 500k could get a million with a best, Ayu surely can

Remember, Ayu could've quit and done away with singing 5 years ago with A BEST, but that ended up bringing her back into it.. :\

^ Well said, DB!

So true about Mika, and Ayu is in an *entirely* different league~ She won't go down without a bang, that's for sure!

Kaaaaba

don't say Ayu and going down in the same sentence

Original info on Oricon Magazine(?)

Two version costs 4,700 yen each

「ＡＢＥＳＴ２ -ＢＬＡＣＫ-」
1. Black cover for the limited version
2. Mainly ballads
3. Includes one NEW song, for new PANASONIC tv-cm.
4. CD+2DVDs pack
DVD 1 includes all PVs, DVD 2 includes CDL2006-07A backstage

「ＡＢＥＳＴ２ -ＷＨＩＴＥ-」
1. White cover for the limited version
2. Mainly light songs
3. CD+2DVDs pack

DVD 1 includes all PVs, DVD 2 includes CDL2006-07A live

It makes sense now

~
They're forcing people who want the CDL to buy the 2nd one, and the people who want the new song to get the 1st..

wahhh

that's a little pricy!! [mode=wishfulthinking]I hope it comes out on itunes!![/mode]

Yikes, 9000 yen for both :evil: I guess I'll wait for the tracklists, since if they put all the songs I don't like on one version (White for me, I guess), then I won't have to buy it

I wonder if they'll exclude the album songs' pvs

Oh, and it's not black/white cover, it's color case

Linus · « **Reply #27 on:** December 30, 2006, 08:04:21 PM »

I am sure getting White. CDL and the hipper songs! MUST HAVE!
:MKscream:

And black... Yeah well... Ayu ballads are great... maybe if I have enough money.
:MKheh:

Not adding 2006's stuff is wise. It's one Secret and this album has to keep selling...

wakaba_doll · « **Reply #28 on:** December 30, 2006, 09:23:30 PM »

I'm going to wait for the tracklists before I buy, too

The price is definitely an issue~ not that I think any of Ayu's stuff isn't worth to buy, but for a best album (even with the number of songs) it's a little steep

We need a tracklist ASAP!

aedon · « **Reply #29 on:** January 01, 2007, 11:00:09 AM »

Pre-order @ CDJapan:
White CD+2DVD
Black CD+2DVD
White CD only
Black CD only

Aaah tracklists onegaaai x_x

LovelyMermaid · « **Reply #30 on:** January 01, 2007, 03:22:50 PM »

^ Yay!! I'll preorder when i get a track list, but it seems like I'll be getting the white + DVD

wakaba_doll · « **Reply #31 on:** January 03, 2007, 02:46:41 AM »

I'll probably get the black version, since I like Ayu's "darker" songs anyway

But there's a pretty good chance I'll get both versions, just because it's Ayu!

I hope there will be some rearrangements on both versions, though~ It's the best I can hope for since she isn't doing anymore remix albums :ksad:

LovelyMermaid · « **Reply #32 on:** January 03, 2007, 02:52:03 AM »

^ I'm really, really excited for any new songs that'll come with it

wakaba_doll · « **Reply #33 on:** January 03, 2007, 03:21:42 AM »

^ Well, the black version has a new song

But rearrangements are kind of like new songs, at least imho^^ LOL

Personal thoughts: I shouldn't have bought MY STORY lmao

wakaba_doll · « **Reply #36 on:** January 15, 2007, 02:46:33 PM »

^ LOL aedon

I'm not impressed~ A BEST had new vocal mixes, at least

I don't see any mention of anything new being done to these songs, and since I already own all of these albums, I'm not so sure I will buy now

I'm not as hardcore fan as I try to look like (hee), out of the albums they've included I only own MY STORY, so it seems like a rather good deal, but I wish they would just release A BEST's with PVs and CDL separately :/ They're walking on thin ice with their gimmicks, I mean, one day people will just stop buying everything x10 times (or at least I hope they will

)

I like the tracklists. I like them so much I might get both albums instead of my original idea of getting only one :p
