Yes I agree there. Buying a physical CD nowadays has become unattractive. No one uses CD players anymore, most people listen digitally to music. Plus with the current economical situation most would be tempted to download online. (either legally or illegally)

I believe a single song online costs about 200 yen... compared to 1,000 yen it's 5 times as much. So now record labels really have to work extra hard to make singles more attractive. It was really about time that avex started including extra goodies and multiple versions.

Yes it's a shame... lately she seems to be less creative I miss her extra goodies so much.
