You can't fit 21 full-length (Non-interlude/intro) songs on 1 CD.

Twenty-one 3:48 minute songs could fit on an 80 minute CD, and some DAI singles are longer than that, other a bit shorter, but no song is under 3 minutes in length, I'm pretty sure.

I'll check some of the song lengths from the albums I own. :)
01. Tangerine Dream (GTB Ver.)-3:57
02. Heart-4:09
03. Oasis-4:56
04. Yesterday & Today-5:02
05. rumble fish
06. We are. (Shortened GTB Ver.)-3:54
07. Desire-4:29
08. tooku made-4:02
09. Week!-4:16
10. fukai mori-4:02
11. boukenshatachi (GTB Ver.)-4:14
12. hi no ataru sakamichi-4:23
13. under the sun-4:04
14. under the moon
15. shinjitsu no uta-4:14
16. mahou no kotoba~Would you Marry Me?~-4:19
17. honjitu wa seiten nari-3:13
18. hiiragi-4:28
19. rakuen-3:38
20. For the future
21. TAO

Adding those 17 songs was about 71:24, leaving 8:40 for rumble fish, Under the Moon, For the future and TAO. Since each of the 4 remaining songs is not 2:10, there has to be two discs to fit all these songs. :)

Quite a few of your timings are off, BanFan. Possibly due to the rip or something but the version of "rakuen" you have there is the PV rip. And the non-GTB versions are longer. But anyway, till "For the future" it's already 86 minutes - throw in "TAO" and it'll be around 91 minutes - around 45 minutes per disc.

^Yup, I was trying to add more up with full J-poop samples, but all I could find was Rakuen, and I figured that the GTB ones were shorter, especially 'We are.' because it skips one of the choruses/and/or verses.

That single collection is interesting. I may consider to buy it but there's so many things to buy.. Namie's QoHP, Ai, Ayu and MM's future albums, Koda's best of and now this..

According to HMV.co.jp, the breakup of the 21 songs over the 2 discs will be according to album order and as follows:

Disc 1
01. Tangerine Dream
02. Heart
03. Oasis
04. Yesterday & Today
05. rumble fish
06. We are.
07. Desire
08. tooku made
09. Week!
10. fukai mori
11. boukensha-tachi

Disc 2
01. hi no ataru sakamichi
02. under the sun
03. under the moon
04. shinjitsu no uta
05. mahou no kotoba ~Would You Marry Me?~
06. honjitsu WA seiten NARI
07. hiiragi
08. rakuen
09. For the future
10. TAO

I think it's pretty obvious by now - Disc 1 covers from "BREAK OF DAWN" to "DEEP FOREST", while Disc 2 covers "Do The Best" (admittedly only so because "hi no ataru sakamichi" was on it"), and "TRUE SONG" to "NEED YOUR LOVE".

I have a feeling I'll be playing Disc 1 more than Disc 2.

>_>;

Well, its a nice split, wonder what kind of packaging they'll use o_o

To be very frank, I like "TAO" a fair bit - it may sound like "hi no ataru sakamichi", but hey, I'd rather have material that sounds like a rehash of their older, good quality stuff rather than material that tries to be new and ends up sounding bad.

Someone knows why 詩 from "真実の詩" is "Uta" and not "Shi"??

I saw in several translator that 詩 is Shi and Uta is 歌 or 謳

Shi means poem..but I'm not sure why..

In Japanese many kanji's share the same pronunciation/romanization, & on the other hand the same kanji can be said differently. 詩 can be either "shi" (meaning poem) or "uta" (meaning song) depending on the usage. And in this case "真実の詩" is used to mean "the song of truth", hence 詩 is pronounced as "uta".

In old Chinese, 詩 can be used to mean both "poem" & "song", & that transferred to Japanese when they borrowed some characters. 歌 or 謳 are the more common ways of saying "song" now (as with Chinese, we pretty much say 歌 & never 詩).

lol, thanks a lot for your held :D well then I'll place order next week !!
