I guess she doesn't have enough Blu-ray releases so they included movies she's done the themes for.

edit: changed the numbers because the converter i originally used sucked

Automatic was the highest selling single of hikki if combining both 8cm and 12cm versions. But oricon counted them separately (back in 1999, Automatic 12cm version was yearly no. 5, while the 8cm version was yearly no. 22). That is why Addicted To You is listed as the highest selling single of hikki instead, as it was the first single without 8cm version.

Interesting! Thanks for the clarification

hoping the netflix distribution is global.

OMG YES!!!... I also would like a cd from her T_T maybe someone will rip it later, they always do!

I hope it's on Netflix globally too although I also want to buy the physical version (I wonder what the price will be, eek!)

I don't want to know how much that set will cost.:laugh
Is there going to be a standard physical release or just the limited 3 disc set?

Cost ¥10,000 excl tax & shipping.

Looks like the "standard release" of the Tour will be digital only.

Hikki's staff account on twitter just confirmed today that it will be!

Play A Love Song

Sold out on CDJapan Oo

That’s fast 😳

Aww that's a shame, I was really hoping a physical release of the standard version with the limited edition being sold out.

I'm really chuffed it's going to be on Netflix and can't wait to watch it on there but I did also want a physical copy as I figure it will be easy to select performances I want to watch again. But maybe this will get me more into the streaming thing and I won't feel the need to get everything physically lol.

It´s still/again available on CDJapan
But to expensive, also whould have wished for a physical standard version, because I don´t have netflix

Disappointed in the digital/streaming only standard release. It will be great to have it on Netflix but the blu-ray will have superior quality. It's too expensive for me so I will have to settle for streaming only.
Maybe DVD and Blu-ray ISOs will be online to be downloaded.
