Check CDJapan out, I've been ordering from them for years and never had any issues. Their site is available in English so you should be able to order without problems. Let me know if you have any questions. :bird:

With this info in mind, I wonder if any of the new tracks will appear on their next studio album :dies:

We’ll probably get twelve more versions of Face My Fears :deadbanana:

I wish she would make full albums without releasing 75% of the songs before. For the next album we’ll prob get the 3 post Bad Mode songs on it and who knows what past songs :deadbanana:

I need a full 12 track album of brand new excellence

THIS! Her album rollouts seem so odd to me. 

 

Is it normal for Japanese artists to do this? Or is this a Hikaru thing?

This is how album releases typically work in Japan. All the singles/music videos come first. The album comes out last which coincides with the end of the era. Occasionally, a single(known a “recut single” in this case) can be released after the album comes out, but that is actually pretty rare. (“First Love” is actually an example of this happening.)

 

So, in theory, if an artist wants they could have songs that are 3-5 years old on an album depending how long they want to keep releasing singles and adding them. :rip:

The double punch she did with EXODUS and ULTRA BLUE was wild, being present in her fandom back in the day was amazing. 

 

She went super left field with EXODUS and the fans we got it we were in for a ride (the fans who didn't get that masterpiece, I pity them but now I'm sure they love it). 

 

Then she took the ethereal stuff from DEEP RIVER and mixed it with the electronic stuff of EXODUS and created the immaculate ULTRA BLUE. She said "I'm gonna give my fans all they need after going mad scientist". 

 

I'm sad the compilation doesn't have some of her most amazing UB deep cuts:

Wings 

Blue 

Kairo

 

The amazing singles:

Passion

Keep trying 

Be My Last

 

So much missed but oh well, the classics are the classics I guess.

:jonny6:Having a Nostalgia fest while cleaning my house today, and the Hikki 4K remasters playlist is on loop. Crazy how They have remained my ultimate artist ever for over 20 years. Insane longevity. Addicted to You still sounds fresh to this very day.
