I will confess I am rather perplexed by the choice of tracks for Tokyo Collection. That said, I have no doubt the songs in and of themselves will be great to listen to, and I am really looking forward to 32sai no wakare.

Absolutely. I can't assure you that makes it a good song though.

12. 某都民 (Boutoumin)
13. ドーパミント!(Dopamint!)
14. 女の子は誰でも (Onna no Ko wa Dare demo)
15. 歌舞伎 (Kabuki)
16. ミラーボール (Mirrorball)
This is possibly the worst stretch of songs during any Shiina/Jihen live.

So much for that. Even the SOTC track is, you know, Mirrorball.

They picked the worst songs from each tour? I mean, some of these songs aren't even crowd pleasers or even well-regarded. It seems so random to me...

That shitty tracklist wouldn't even be worth pirating.

The concert video is definitely going to be worth the money. That is a loooong setlist

yowzaaaas seriously.

first of all, as a *JIHEN* live retrospective, I'm glad they including Dynamite Out, but still, what they chose to include was a bit.... I mean you have great alternative arrangements from Domestic Virgin Line as well as phenomenal arrangements of old hits on recent tours (Sounan on Ultra C).... I guess the proof will be in the pudding...or not.

I'm trying not to facepalm about which version of Marunouchi Sadistic they chose, because I really should've been cynical enough to see this coming.

I'm still looking forward to the Discovery tour DVD, though.
Well, 32-sai no Wakare is another song that isnt on a DVD too...

Otherwise, I'm still gonna get it, you know, for collection's sake

The DVD should be alright though. Also, I doubt this will be last DVD, I guess they will probably milk the TJ franchise by releasing a Bon Voyage DVD too...

we will most definitely be getting a Bon Voyage DVD probably with some sort of crazy deluxe first press version akin to what Ringo did with Electric Mole...

that said, it has never been confirmed that the tracks included in this particular release are taken from the same performance released on DVDs. They have only said it is a live best album and they have confirmed which tours the songs have come from, but we are all just assuming at this point that these songs are the going to be the same as the performances recorded for the DVDs. Given that multiple shows have been recorded over a length of any given tour and the quality of some of those included here and on respective DVDs, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the larger tours included alternate nights/takes from what we already have.....

still, no Ikiru from Ultra C? harsh.

edit: they have dates posted for the songs in question. I checked and it looks like the dates match up with the recorded DVDs. LAME

"Best ofs" usually only have 2 new/previously unreleased songs...

Unless these have alternate mixes or something, it really isn't worth getting unless you're a sucker like I am...
