Precisely. Ayu constantly floods us with items to buy because hey, a girl's gotta make money, and I think it's a bit impractical to include all this stuff in one go. From a business stand point, it makes sense to separate these things to allow for greater revenue. From a practical standpoint, that crap's just wa~y too big to all fit in one package XD; Not even a shipping package, but just a release in general. It might not be some people's thing to have these photos, either. So the separate release allows those who really want it (as in, those who care enough, not saying that you HAVE to care) to pick it up.
It sucks in terms of cost for us overseas folks.. But things will never be fair :( In the end, when I get overwhelmed with things like this, I remind myself that western artists NEVER do these things for fans. The album releases are standard, the music videos are never released (because most of them are just stupid anyway... not worth buying), and there's really no point in buying the actual, physical copies of the album. I think sometimes, we can get a little spoiled by our Japanese musicians, and our expectations can be a bit daft.
I'm sorry that I'm beating a dead horse here XD; But yes, I'd rather have options of things to buy then be a fan of an artist whose releases are so few and far between, and then they decide to take a break O_o
I don't include Namie in this because that fantastic lady is always working lol even if she isn't releasing.
