Lead and infobox

• The Ayumi symbol should not be used in the infobox name of the album.
• Avex Trax would do in the lead sentence, since Avex Creative is a part of that group.
• after her 2002 studio album I Am... --> after her fourth studio album I Am... (2002)
• The compilation was released in two formats different formats including a physical and a digital release --> The compilation was released in two different formats, having both a physical and a digital release.
• Seven different artworks were released in several editions of the album. --> Multiple editions of the compilation featured different art works from one another.
• A Best was appreciated by contemporary critics who noted the quality and memorability of the tracks. Many also labelled the album as one of the best representations of Japanese pop music --> Its best to add source to it, since nowadays it is being challenged per WP:SYNTH.
• Give the year for Duty.
• Since its release, the album brought Hamasaki a number of accolades and award nominations with a series of successful recognition throughout Eastern and Western publications. --> Over drawn, just simply say "A Best earned Hamasaki a number of accolades" and maybe link to List of awards received by Ayumi Hamasaki
• Hamasaki will promote the re-release with a Japanese concert tour, entitled Made in Japan --> When?

Background

• when she released her 2002 studio album I Am... --> Same as lead
• Nearly every single from her three studio albums: A Song for ××, Loveppears (1999), and Duty appeared on the compilation album --> Why don't you use the years for all of them?

I am actually on the fence to go ahead with the review because, although you might have waited, I'm seeing issues in every sentence actually. :( Can you go for a GOCE? —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 12:40, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi @IndianBio:; I think it will be best to finish/fail the article as it is. I have left this article in a dust since I listed it as an nomination for GA, and I have personally improved my writing and grammar since then and have contributed to other articles with more satisfying results. I'll probably re-write the article a bit more for a further nomination, but till then, I'll let you fail this one Nevertheless, thank you for the review.

Thank you for your detailed explanation CDF. I'm sure this will be in a better state once you had another go at it, till then as requested, failing the article. Good luck on round two. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 08:18, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
