Information

"A BEST 2" is the third "best of" compilation by Hamasaki Ayumi. It was released in two versions; BLACK and WHITE. The BLACK version contains painful and dark songs selected from everything since her 20th single evolution (2001) up to her 38th single Bold & Delicious / Pride (2005) plus one new song that was used in a Panasonic commercial promoting Lumix cameras. The first press of the album included a special black case. All tracks except "part of Me" were re-mastered by Bernie Grundman Mastering in L.A. in order to give a better sound quality to the album. Because the album sold a total of 696,728 copies in 2007, the album became the #7 album of the year. To date, A BEST 2 sold a combine total of 1,423,317 copies.
