Now I want to see the covers!

It had a PV

Edit: not true, was thinking of that song on the misono single

[_XXKK_]

I wish it comes with all the single covers

[Diva_br]

Now I want it, I'm so happy for SO FEVER

It's probably a standalone printed nameplate ? I don't know

I thought only single songs will be included in the fanclub version of the best album but surprised to see a mix bag of songs including the Panchiko exclusive no.s !

Those who order it good for them , I guess

It's a plate with your name, placed directly on the box of the FC edition (2nd pic I posted).
Only FC members can order the box with it till today.

Received an email from mu-mo saying they have decided to add an acrylic charm as a bonus to my all time best, guess it's for everyone who purchased the FC versions? Hope they show how it'll look like + covers soon

[Corvina]

The acrylic charm is the FC goodie for that version. Wasn't announced what it would be before.
The mu-mo version of the FC edition gets a postcard like the other CD shops ( and the regular edition through FC shops as well).

[kaled kalil]

I wonder if the FC album will be available on streaming services. It would be nice to finally have SO FEVER and NEVER GIVE IT UP on Spotify.

[_XXKK_]

they could be on the regular edition songlist tho

[Gustavopc]

^ If there's anything besides cute songs and ballads on that one I'll be over the moon already lol

[gustavismo]

Just saw this on Twitter and apparently she's re-recording some of the songs for the ALL TIME BEST! EXCITING!!

I hope she re(re(CORD)) just a few and add both versions on it tbh. The new versions could even be content for the last disc. idk I think some of the nostalgia of the best gets lost when the old versions are not there especially if the new version has a different arrangement. Finally worked for me cause Namie kept her old songs more or less intact regarding their instrumental, but then most of disc 2 didnt need to be re-recorded imo. That said, I'd love TAKE BACK to get both a new recording and PV

[Toniayu123]

She just keep showing how to do things properly That’s how you’re supposed to release a best album. Now, the release is getting interesting for me.

[gustavismo]

Yeah, the Disc 1 of Finally was really perfect for me from start to finish while on Disc 2 I felt that Namie didn't really had much to update because the songs were newer so we got very different arrangements. I hope Kumi knows which songs demand an update but I agree that it would be lovely to have both versions, maybe the last disc could be made of those re-recordings while keeping the original songs on Discs 1-7 only. And, YES, a new version of TAKE BACK is a must!

tbqh - do you really listen to the CD? If yes - you can just take BEST ft, ss and tu with you. i rather have a different version in my itunes than the same song for the 10th time because I don't want my playlist (based on playcounts) to be shit. I always just keep one version of the song IF they are the same (ljke most singles - albums - bests). Its just pointless these days to release physical bests without any updates on the songs.

[kaled kalil]

Yeah, even if the new record might not improve the song it's not like it's replacing the old one, and I don't see a reason to have both old and new versions within the same release. If you want to listen to TAKE BACK OG you can always go to First Things.
At least there is more effort than just creating a playlist album, like MY NAME IS.... was. I got a bit more excited about the release now.

[Corvina]

If she re-recorded 101 songs, than that was very ambitious.
I mean she IS working on this project for about 2 years now ( judging from the first time of her mentioning it).
But I suppose it's going to be like a handful, like I expected from this best, can't imagine antyhing else.
Especiall cause she said she "tries" to "recover" some.
Actually it made me think of walk and walk ~to the future~.

[Gustavopc]

Well, you guys also have a point, but idk I like listening to the evolution in the artists through times, that's why I thought of that. But indeed new recordings make it more worth buying. Can't wait to see what she's preparing for us.

[kaled kalil]

Maybe up until First Things plus big singles like you, Ai no Uta?

I wouldn't be surprised if she was working on a rerecording project since the BSC Tour and kept doing throughout the years, since she was revisiting the songs anyway. So it would add more years to the project, and was right around that time that she started her current "singing technique".

[minkAYuko]

Great news ! There some songs on namie’s finally that I dunno why they got re recorded and I wasn’t fan of her new voice. hopefully ku’ll be wise about it ! Plus I love her voice now so maybe it’s just going to be a better beat all around.
