This is not the place for it anyways but most of the stuff was mentioned above:
Namie did practically confirm she was to retire after her 20th Anniversary. That could also mean she could have rerecorded all the song until then, but she kept them hidden for 5 more years. that would explain why it's only up to that point. As for Finally being split, it's cause the old songs were under avex and the new ones under stella88.

I never had the expression that Namie had a problem with avex, but the thing about RisingProduction is true.

The songs on Finally are just re-recordings. Nothing less, nothing more. I think only the first disc improved on the songs tho. In the end, it's just taste.

Ayus 10th Anni songs are a different kind of re-recoding tho. They are new, different versions of the songs.
