The best of ayu’s summer songs!

A compilation of the super hit summer songs that are a must-listen when summer comes!!

BLUE BIRD, Greatful days, July 1st, as well as signature songs like Boys&Girls and evolution are all gathered into a happy exciting “DISC-N”. Sadder summer songs like HANABI and monochrome are compiled into “DISC-A”, to give a grand 2-CD set.

Furthermore, the theme song for current tour “ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2012 ～HOTEL Love songs～”, TRF cover Happening Here, will also be included due to many fans’ requests.

A new song You & Me, written just for this summer song compilation, makes up a grand total of 26 songs! (planned)

The DVD includes video clips from 10 years of a-nation lives, from 2002 to 2011, some past summer PVs, the PV for new song You & Me, which was filmed overseas, as well as “Greatful days” performed by RAINBOW HOUSE. The extremely rare collection adds up to a total of 25 tracks. (planned)

The best release to brighten up this summer!!
