You know, your buying interests aren't the official measurement for the market, and compilations still make both the artists and the labels tons of money. It's no surprise Namie is releasing a new one every 3 years. |
I won't tell anyone to do anything, I just feel that right now BEST albums are for the hardcore fans who buy everything or for people who aren't really fans but like some main hits of the artist (and don't like any b-sides or less known songs) so they don't buy regular releases but when it comes to BEST with all the songs they somehow know from the past then they decide to buy. I'm in the middle, I only buy albums with new materials and live concerts, no singles, no BESTs but if some artist I like (esp Ayu) released a BEST album with new vocals or new arrangements I'd be happy so I'm glad Namie is doing it with BALLADA and I wish Ayu could do this as well (like she did for the 10th anniversary singles)

It's notoriously hard to get tickets for that date, and the ones you find in reseller shops/Y!J will be ееее. Definitely keep an eye on Kuu; I wouldn't be surprised if she started doing some 15th anniversary celebration type stuff in December. Hopefully you'll get lucky with Namie as well. Have fun! |
I had lotery tickets for Saitama and I got very bad sits so I'm prepared to pay more this time, but if it's really extremaly expensive, or if there actually will be other concerts (Kuu, Namie, etc) then I'll go on the 30th. I just hope there will be a CDL, I was so worried when Ayu didn't announce a tour for so long xD
