I'm not blaming CMJK - at first I did prefer "forgiveness" to "Voyage" when it came out, but now I can't even recall "forgiveness" in my head, whereas I can for "Voyage". It all boils down to who arranged it better such that the song is more memorable - and Shima Ken, in my opinion, succeeded more than CMJK.

Avex has phased the 10-track single format out since 2002 when they released "Free & Easy" as they probably figured there was no longer a need for such long singles to ensure Ayu's sales. Or something like that.

Anyway, why do all of you want the 10-track single back so badly? Are the remixes even good in the first place? Not all of them were, and I'd rather pay for a 4-track single with good stuff rather than 200 yen more for 6 more tracks which I either do not listen to, simply because they are too generic and a waste of time, or because they just plain suck, being crappy remixes made up at the last minute to occupy listening time on the disc.
