Though now I'm just buying up the remaining singles I don't have anyway lol
I approve of this so hard.

I wasn't insinuating WtH was a cash-in (even though it kind of was), but it was still a perfectly good idea. The big issue I have with A-side compilations is that the songs are on previous albums anyway. Buy a few albums from an artist and bam! you have the entirety of their BEST-OF and more. To get everything on WtH, you'd have to buy about a dozen different releases, most of which are out-of-print. So I'm totally cool with it.

Oddly enough, Watashi to Houden is the only Ringo or Jihen release I don't even have a rip of. Redundancy and all.
