My biggest problem with this new release is that fans who'd want to see the LOVE CONCENT tour footage have to pay up big time for that crazy expensive boxed set. That concert should get it's own separate release.
at least with Koda Kumi & Ayu the best ofs that came with the tour & PV DVDs were sorta a good deal, around 40-50 $. I don't think it's right that the hitomi box to cost over twice that much , even if it has more disks. I'm never going to able to buy the hitomi box, it's so expensive & since I'd be importing it outside EU i'd have to pay a additional 22% of added value tax on the hitomi box + customs fee making the box cost me like over 100€ which is just too much
I do think just the "peace 2xDVD" PV set is kinda tempting tho & not a bad deal.
I do think it's a good feat to get into the top20 with zero promotion, considering that even the cheapest edition of this release is still a 3xCD set and not so cheap. but then again, I think almost every song off peace has been used as a themesong or commercial endorsement in something so there are lots of people potentially familiar with hitomi's music.
so I think this release is more meant to cash in on casual buyers who might recognize a hitomi song from somewhere & now have a easy pick what album of hers to get.
