“A BEST 2 -BLACK-” Front Covers

Ayumi Hamasaki

BEST 2 -BLACK-
浜崎あゆみ


CD+DVD+DVD version


CD-Only version

Ayu and her new best-of collection(s).

This one is BEST 2 -BLACK- and contains sad or dark songs since the release of evolution (2001) to Bold & Delicious / Pride (2005). This compilation also features a completely new track, part of Me. The CD+DVD+DVD version contains all the PVs of the songs on the CD (including on for the new song, part of Me) and for some reason the TV-CM of the single. The second DVD contains a 90-minute documentary of COUNTDOWN LIVE 2006-2007.

I think these releases are less special than BEST because (as far as I know) they don’t contain new arrangements or vocals, but they’re still great collections!

An impressive package and a nice change of pace from all the Kumi “greatest hits” CDs. ^_^

Thank you to mikAYuko for the scans and thanks to Phuong T. for submitting them.

    The “H” CM is included because there are no PVs for “independent”, “July 1st”, & “HANABI”. I was wondering how they were gonna get away with the “PVs of all tracks will be included on the DVD” gimmick. =P

    I like the A BEST -BLACK- CD-only ver. better. But, honestly, avex coulda just put all these songs on a double album and called it a day. -_-; I’m not really a fan of the covers, ’cause I think Ayu looks like an alien, and they’re not too exciting in the least. It doesn’t really seem worth the money, this collection, ’cause like you said, they’re not even remastered, rerecorded, or rearranged! It’s just the plain song. Yet, still, no doubt these will sell well. I wonder if Black or White will sell more?

    Actually the songs ARE remastered, it’s not entirely noticeable but they are in fact remastered, it’s more evident in some of the earlier songs, if you were to play the old “evolution” or “real me” back-to-back with the versions from white, there’s a nice change of quality of the background music. I was hoping it would be rearranged too, but the only reason ayu did that for the original “A BEST” was because she didn’t even want the album released in the first place, so she wanted to change the vocals for some of her first songs as it was being released against her will and the album was to “mark the end of her career”
