It seems she dropped out of the Top 30 from 08/06 and forward. I don't have access to the Top 50 so I can't check if she still is in there. It saddens me that the "Citron" album didn't make the Top 50.

I don't think there's anything that special about it. Just an upgrade to the older Bible releases. Disc five is of course new stuff for the Bible. Apart from that then there's not that much to be excited about, especially if you already own the Bible III or Complete Bible. Probably is a small disappointment for the hardcore fans. Hopefully the (lyrics)booklet included will be worth it.
I see it as an opportunity for SONY to milk some money before she leaves. 30th Anniversary should be good for marketing. It's not exactly common for a female idol to stay in the business for that long. Fellow rivals from the 1980s Akina Nakamori and Kyoko Koizumi are about to reach that milestone in a couple of years, too. I still don't understand why SONY chose to promote her 30th Anniversary this early. Seiko's debut single released 1980/04/01 and album 1980/08/01. However, it might be that they consider the date 1979/06/30 the real deal. That was when she signed up with Sun Music.
It surprised me that they included ベルベット・フラワー (Velvet Flower) to the tracklist but not Angel Tears.
