It's not even that I'm against Tomosaka Rie releases in general. I like Murasaki. and I love Shoujo Robot. I'm sure her earlier stuff is a bunch of 'bleh', and that's the main problem with her 'best' album - it's mostly made up of her pre-Ringo tracks. Then you've got some good tracks on Murasaki. from Shiina Ringo that never made it onto rie tomosaka best. Just because EMI finally includes Shoujo Robot's 3 tracks - doesn't solve the problem of the missing tracks from Murasaki., or Murasaki being a much better album in general. There isn't anything rie tomosaka best has from Shiina Ringo that Murasaki. doesn't, aside from that horrible remix - which I doubt Shiina Ringo would have approved if she had any creative control in the remixing process.
