「浜崎あゆみさんが今もこの曲をライヴで歌っている姿を見る事ができて、ファンとしてとても嬉しくなります。この先、どんなことがあっても永遠に、浜崎あゆみさんの歌声は、多くの方の心に残ると思います。そして、私は自分自身のスケート人生と重ねながら、想いながら、聴いています。私も、ずっと私のスケートが多くの方に届きますように、、、と少しだけ想わせていただいてます。」
"As her fan, I'm very glad to watch AYUMI HAMASAKI singing this tune in her live still now. Her singing voice will remain in memories of many people forever, whatever happens. And, I listen and love her songs, overlapping my skating life. I moderately hope that my skating touched hearts of many people like her songs"
"I'm so happy as a fan, because I can see the appearance of AYUMI HAMASAKI singing this song until now " I think her singing voice is left in many fans' s hearts forever even whatever happens since now. And I listen to it lapping and feeling my life of skating. I think a little I can also leave my appearance of skating many people."
「To be able to see Hamasaki Ayumi singing this song live now, I feel very happy as a fan. From now onwards till forever, no matter when, Hamasaki Ayumi's singing voice always remains in many people's mind. While I keep on repeating in my own skating's life, while thinking, I am listening to it. So much so that in my skating I will reach many people...seems like just a few.」

「『A BEST』の中で、私が一番好きな歌は「Who...」。恋愛の歌だけどそれだけではない。ayuがファンに向けて歌ってくれている歌でもあると思うし、家族や、大切な人のことを思い出させてくれる曲なので、ライヴの最後に歌ってくれる度に思わず涙があふれてしまいます。」
"The best music I like is 「Who..」 in records 『A BEST』. It' s not only love music. I think AYUMI HAMASAKI also sing it for funs, and it is reminder about my family or my important parson, so when she sing it at the end of lives, I always can't stop crying.
"Who..." is my most favorite song in "A Best". This is a love song, but also has other meanings. AYUMI HAMASAKI sings this song with love for us, her fans. And, this remains me of my family and my special people. So, my tears happen to run in every time she sings at the last of her concerts."

「僕は『A BEST』収録曲の中では「Who...」が一番好きだ。1999年の『LOVEppears』に収録されてからの17年間で何度聞いてきたかわからない。
そして「Who...」を聞くたびに、まるでタイムマシーンのように、かつてこの曲を聞いていた時のことを思い出す。高校からの帰り道、西日の差す東武伊勢崎線。雨上がりの空がきれいだった虎ノ門。スリランカで見たインド洋に沈んでいく夕日。
"I like 'Who...' the best on the album [A BEST]. I have listened many times for 17 years since [LOVEppears] was recorded in 1999.
And whenever I listen to 'Who...', like a time machine, I remember that I was listening to this song at that time. On the way home from the high school, the Tobu Isezaki line getting the afternoon sun. Torano-mon that the sky after the rain was beautiful. The sun setting in the Indian Ocean that I saw in Sri Lanka.
"I like 「Who..」 the best in the record music of 『A BEST』. I don't know how many times I listened to this music among this 17 years since it recorded in 『LOVEppears』 in 1999.
And when I listen to 『Who...』, I always remind those days I had listened to it as if I ride a time machine. The railroad of Tobu Isezaki was lighted by evening sun In the way from my high school. The beautiful gate named "Toranomon" under the sky after the rain. The evening sun set in the Indian Ocean I saw in Sri Lanka.
"Among all tracks in "A BEST", I like the song of "Who..." the most.
I do not know how many times I have been listening to this song in 17 years since it was recorded in the "LOVEppears" back in 1999.
And every time when you listen to "Who ...", it is like a time machine, it reminds me of my past when listening to this song.
The afternoon sun at Isesaki Tobu line on my way back from high school.
Beautiful Toranomon's sky after the rain.
Sunset in the Indian Ocean, which was seen in Sri Lanka.
あの時『A BEST』を手にした500万人も、ふとした時に「これからもずっと」、浜崎あゆみの曲と、その時の自分を思い出すだろう。」
