DAI's Two of Us was a fantastic release they both paid homage to their musical history AND gave something new to fans. It pandered to both casual fans who only know their hits, and die hard fans who want a reason to buy more of their stuff.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like fans who want to buy the physical release (with all the freebies and stuff) won't get any of the 'new' music (i.e. the acapella tracks) which will only be available on the digital version, which seems silly.

The very least they could have done was to throw in some unreleased footage somewhere somehow. Maybe a DVD of the recent TA tour. Even Utada Hikaru's anniversary version of First Love had unreleased tour footage accompanying it.

I don't disagree with blatant cash grabs but there are LITERALLY SO MANY WAYS to do it better, and we know for a fact that she does things Properly when she is actually invested in a project (cue Power of Music tour c.f. Hotel Love Songs). I wish she would care again.
