Petit Best ~Ki Ao Aka~

Petit Best ~Ki Ao Aka~ (プッチベスト～黄青あか～; Petit Best ~Yellow Blue Red~) is the first compilation album in the Petit Best series, which are annual compilations released at the end of the year that feature best hits from the artists of Hello! Project during that year, with an occasional remix or new song included.
It was released on April 26, 2000, and first press came with a 20-page booklet, clear file (a see-through group picture) and a transparent box. A limited edition for Hawaii was also released, containing the same track list but with a different cover.
This album featured five previously unreleased tracks. "Toumorokoshi to Sora to Kaze" was used in commercials for SALA shampoo and as the ending theme to Idol wo Sagase!. "LOVE Machine (analog remix)" and "Koi no Dance Site (PANDART SASANOOOHA Remix)" are remixes of Morning Musume's seventh and eighth single. These remixes originally appeared on the vinyl LP versions of the singles. "Marui Taiyou (4nin ver.)" is a version of T&C Bomber's sixth single "Marui Taiyou -Winter Ver.-" with vocals by all four members rather than just the three who were in the unit at the time of the single's release. "Hello! no Theme (16nin version)" is a recording of the Hello! Project theme song as performed by the shuffle units Akagumi 4, Kiiro 5, and Aoiro 7. There is also a hidden track on the album. It comes after the 16th track, and is the "Yamucharou Commercial Song".
The "Petit Best DVD" was not released until December 15, 2004 (alongside the DVDs for Petit Best 2 ~3, 7, 10~ , Petit Best 3, and Petit Best 5). The limited edition of the DVD was released in a tall case and came with the first press item Hello! Project photo card No. 0089. Regular editions came in standard jewel case cover.
