thank you for this. I hope the remastering is good, especially for songs like forgiveness and æternal. the noise at the beginning is so annoying.

DISC 1 and 3
Mastered by Shigeo Miyamoto

Shigeo Miyamoto has worked recently mastering Do As Infinity and Aikawa Nanase albums.
He previously worked with ayu on mastering MADE IN JAPAN, A ONE and sixxxxxx

DISC 2 and 4
Mastered by Rena Koyanagi (form THE MASTER)

This one is a typo should be from THE MASTER. She used to release a CD series for Avex under the name THE MASTER.
Rena Koyanagi masters mostly Ai Otsuka albums.
She previously worked with ayu on mastering the ayu-mi-x 7 series
