About that name too, "form the MASTER" is a mastering studio that a lot of the Ayu staff is from.

https://form-studios.com/studio/master/

I think Naoki Yamada is from here alongside Koji Morimoto?

I personally think they spent more money in the remastering than what would have cost Ayu to re-record some of the songs and we’d be more pleased lol It’s good to see they put some effort into it, he is a big name.

^^It's not that surprising if you think about it. After all, they managed to fit all 2,5h of CDL19-20 on one disc.

EDIT: The Haru Yo, Koi PV has surpassed 500K views!

Google translation says "Teamayu / mu-mo shop limited edition will also be included in the ′′ Virgin Road ′′ Red and white singing song!" - does that mean it would be a new version of the song? My Japanese is non existent so that might be completely wrong!

I just finished listening to the songs according to the DISC 1 set list and I found that it flows quite well. especially surprised by how well JEWEL fits right after Virgin Road. who knew. onto DISC 2 now.

no. it means the second DVD/BluRay contains the Kouhaku (red and white year-end song festival) performance of Virgin Road.

^I think it means the Virgin Road live performance at Kohaku, guess it's also "rare" footage, but I'm not sure.

Nothing to do with that. Just lower bitrate for DVD video, worse quality. I remember bootleg DVDs where they managed to fit 4 movies into 1 disk.

u sure? I sear I have some crappy PVs from 2005 who are like 200 MB and much better quality ones from years later in the same format only 1/4 the size. In the end they only burn data on a Disc.

after listening to the tracks of DISC 2 in order, it flows alright but a little awkward. like, I think some of the songs need an extra second or two of silence before proceeding to the next.

I also find it weird that much of the lesser-known ballads are dumped on the latter half of DISC 2 instead of being slipped in between the big leagues.

still, 春よ、来い makes a fantastic grand finale.

春よ、来い video has already 540k views on YT and it's growing. It's doing much better than the last 2 singles.

I haven't tried listening to all the songs in order but based on the track list, I share your feeling and also wish the lesser-known tracks could have been spread across other songs.
