and then

Ayu’s second single collection A BEST 2 is out now! Be sure to pick up a copy if you haven’t already; you may want to check out our discography to decide which of the four different versions you want. Additionally, the new DVD Special Digest posted on Both Ayu’s official site and the official A BEST 2 site may help you make up your mind. Check it out at ABEST2.com.

Not surprisingly,the albums A BEST 2 -BLACK- and A BEST 2 -WHITE- made their debut on the Oricon Daily Charts at number one and two, respectively. Oricon Style also posted a special article and video message from Ayu in honor of her latest release.

In addition, Ayu’s latest Panasonic spot, featuring the new song “part of Me” (included on A BEST 2 -BLACK-) has finally been posted on Pansonic’s website (watch the commercial). She looks significantly less creepy in the actual commercial than she does in the accompanying wallpaper.

If that weren’t enough, Ayu’s TV schedule has been updated again for an all out promotional blitz.

Ayu’s Official Site updated with a new A BEST 2 theme and — perhaps more importantly — a new site dedicated to her second single collection: ABEST2.com.

ABEST2.com features a special video message from Ayu and audio samples for all tracks–including the new song “part of ME”!

Her official schedule has also been updated to reflect the A BEST 2 promotional blitz.

Ayu’s official site has updated with the covers and full tracklistings for all versions of her latest album A BEST 2. The complete PV list has been added to the discography, as has the set list for the COUNTDOWN LIVE concert DVD to be included with A BEST 2 -WHITE-. A BEST 2 -BLACK-’s new track has also been named “part of Me”.

A BEST 2 -BLACK- CD+2DVDs and CD-only versions (see tracklisting)

A BEST 2 -WHITE- CD+2DVDs and CD-only versions (see tracklisting)

The new track will be previewed in the latest commercial promoting Panasonic’s Lumix camera. Its accompanying wallpaper has already been added to Panasonic’s official site.
