another avex money-making exercise, in my opinion...
yeah, sure it may be interesting (and, most likely, I'll get it - not too sure yet) but...
just get a lot of old songs, put them in the new shining cover, add a couple of 'not-seen-before' videos and voila - heaps of money again...
I do not want to speculate on the matter - 'is this the end or not'. Though I am actually dreading what will happen when Ayu actually WILL retire. I cannot possibly imagine the extent of crappy compilations, re-issues and remixes that avex will want to make the 'last kill' with...
[imho, Ayu does need to have at least a long break from all the performances/appearances/etc. Sure, she looks well on Wacoal posters but in the latest news videos and on photos from '08 tour she looks to me as she suddently aged, and very rapidly at that...]
cheers
