I totally agree with this (except for the inclusion of JCHI's Marunouchi Sadistic whic I think is the best version of this song). I'm also very disappointed they didn't include anything from Domestic Virgin Line, the reason why I was excited about this release at first place was the hope of getting a soundboard recordings of Souretsu, Gunjou Biyori or Keshou Naoshi from this show. another thing that seems really odd to me is the omission of anything from Sports except Senkou Shoujo, even the tracks from Ultra C are from Variety, WTF they were thinking?

Who selected the tracks? TJ or EMI? I don't understand the tracklisting much either. I mean, who's "BEST OF" is this? If it's the bands, then maybe I can understand, though god knows why some of these songs were chosen.
If EMI chose them, then it's really wtf. No Noudouteki Sanpunkan??? I thought that woulda been the first thing they chose to put on there. I don't see any choices here that really show off their best from either phase. But, oh well, not all live albums can be Ura Tamahime. (Get this if you haven't heard it). I'll keep telling myself "but the album cover is pretty" and "I guess it's only 2800 yen". :-p

if the band themselves selected the tracks than I guess they think Variety is their best album judging by the fact that it's the most represented album on the tracklist

edit: I think the execution of 32sai is more TJ than solo Ringo? I like the IDEA of the song, but it sounds like she could let it breathe more. I'm don't like the structure (it sounds a bit...abridged?). I hope she does more with it. Last edited by Scribble R : 2012.02.10 at 08:57 AM. |

I'm somewhat shocked to see that CD Japan has already started shipping out the February 15th releases.

I think my personal favorite is when cdjapan sent out Variety almost a full week early. I had it the Saturday on the weekend before the Wednesday release... with cd releases in japan they normally place the item and start selling it at least one day early from the list day, although some small chains will put things out as soon as they get it unless its very high profile (like a new ayu or pop group). what I love about cdjapan is that they honor the international ship times to ensure we will have the product by the japanese release. ala ship it 3-4 days early to arrive on the release date. |

It's not like I said I was completely surprised - I'm just somewhat surprised because early shipping doesn't happen more consistently for me. When you batch items together from different record labels, it often doesn't matter how fast EMI is - your shipment is only going to be as fast as the slowest record label among the latest of the releases you had preordered. In this case, all the Feb 15 releases in my shipment are from EMI, so no other record label slowed this particular shipment down.

^^^ My CDJapan shipment just went out too. On the way are the Feb 15th releases plus Color Bars, Carnation, and the CS Channel video collection. None of which I've seen or heard yet.
