LMAO. The fact that Ayu writes her own songs sometimes is ghastly (as Mikal stated earlier "Step You" has the about the same amount of artistic development as William Hung's project).

Um...crack was good in the tense I used. I personally love "Step You" although I might love the b-side "is this LOVE" just a bit more.

Don't drag me into this

J-pop is mostly lame.

I Hate that you always think you're right. A BEST was entirely planned by avex, I'm not sure about this one, but as i have said this year Avex released 2 Exile BEST(and one to be released later in the year), they also released Best Fiction and Now A complete. IMO it has to do with avex management

"STEP You" is a J-Pop masterpiece

Kworb

Her best song is Moments, OMG what a masterpiece. One of the best songs ever made.

It's not my fault I always am. Unless Ayu keels over next week and this was all a clever ploy to get rid of her (just like Christina Milian and her contractual GH album), she had at least some sort of say in this and there is not bull******** around it. There's nothing wrong with the move, but it's quite annoying that there are all these GH albums all in a row.

ohh and Mikal, of course I'd use your lovely opinion to my advantage. haha, and I like that Saturdays avatar.

You were wrong this time. A BEST was before she had any control, seeing as Avex thought she'd just fade into obscurity within another year. Whether you believe it or not, it's fact.

Well, at least you love my avatar

As for this AVEX thing...I was under the impression (with as little history with Japanese recording industry and to a grand extent Wikipedia for reference) they are pretty much assholes who own their roster of talent lock stock and barrel. So I would not be shocked if A BEST was their idea, not Ayu's. Wasn't some gal who's now ancient (by which I mean 30) basically ignored and shat upon by them who's actually sold more now that she did when she was "relevant" due to her GH release, making AVEX have to let her have another album. edit it's Namie Amuro!

If what i read is true (and with Wiki, it involves a salt lick the size of Juneau) then i would not be shocked if this GH is Ayumi's idea as a means to get some revenge on AVEX doing the dueling GH's last year.
