I hated her early singles that had way too many really crappy remixes. Even though she doesn't like remixes, I think she does it for the fans. Someone is bound to like them. And besides, if every single she ever had consisted of the main song, and an instrumental, and nothing else, that wouldn't be much of a single at all. :/

Well I just wanna say, first, that it takes the composer/arranger more than a few days to make a song from beginning to end, they can work for weeks and sometimes months on just one song. And (for the most part) more effort goes into the original music for the song because a remix can just be the same pulsing beat for 10 min with a breathing sample taken from the song repeating over and over.
Well the old singles had remixes because club remix music was popular when those singles were released (just generally around the world). But I guess it fell out fashion; either that or maybe Oricon enacted a time rule for single releases like in UK. Plus I think avex comissioned all those remixes so they'd have something to play in that club they used to own.
Personally I prefer the way singles are. With like a main track or 2 a then a remix or w/e then the instrumental because then it's about quality than quanity with the single tracks.
