New Oni CD and DVD out 1st December

[luminaire]

Toshiba-EMI will be releasing 2 new Oni articles (to signal the complete closure of their signing Oni, I guess) on 1st December, a CD and a DVD. The tracklisting of the CD, a best album (titled "The Ultimate Collection") is as follows:

01. ryuuseigun
02. 'koe'.
03. memai
04. gekkou
05. infection
06. We can go
07. Fly to me
08. SHINE (album version)
09. BACK DOOR (album version)
10. King of Solitude
11. CROW
12. ibara no umi
13. watashi to WALTZ wo
14. call
15. Sign

Somewhat of a misnomer, seeing as how some singles aren't even represented there - I wonder why a B-side was included though. And much material from "INSOMNIA", less so from "This Armor" and even less from "Sugar High" - and I thought Toshiba would include 3 album tracks from "Sugar High". At least my bets on "CROW" and "'koe'." were right. ^^;;
All songs on the disc will be digitally remastered by Ted Jensen, best remembered for his work on Hikki's "Single Collection Vol. 1".

And the DVD, "The Complete Clips", is a DVD containing all clips covering her 10 singles and 7 album song PVs, for a total of 17 PVs. This would also render "ME AND MY DEVIL" and "PRINCESS BELIEVER" useless per se, if not for the fact that "ME AND MY DEVIL" has an unplugged version of "SHINE".
Anyway. Tracklisting is as follows:

01. SHINE
02. gekkou
03. Cage
04. memai
05. edge
06. We can go
07. gekkou (album version)
08. infection
09. LITTLE BEAT RIFLE
10. ROLLIN'
11. ryuuseigun
12. ibara no umi
13. King of Solitude
14. Sign
15. Beautiful Fighter
16. ii hi tabidachi, nishi e
17. watashi to WALTZ wo

This DVD is pretty much a real steal for the price it's priced at. Although I can see fans getting pissed because now their copies of "PRINCESS BELIEVER" and "ME AND MY DEVIL" have been rendered useless.

A couple like:

Cage -HER BEST PIECE in my opinion-
LITTLE BEAT RIFLE
edge
Beautiful Fighter

and Fly to me was added because IT'S AMAZING haha dunno why they put that instead of Cage though...

Eeh and thank gawd I skipped on those PV DVDs too.

[Jonny]

Ooh...I was thinking about picking up those DVDs too! But this will definitely work out to my advantage.

[sxesven]

Great news, I'm looking forward to this stuff.

[luminaire]

Toshiba left out a LOT of singles. I don't know what they're pulling with this one, frankly. The DVD is definitely worth it, but I'm not that sure about the best-album myself, especially when it's missing so many of her singles.

Sampler for the DVD and 'Ultimate Collection' CD.

Wow! infection looks so cool! Can someone U/L the infection PV?! I've never seen anyone sing with that much emotion before! O.O

*must buy DVD*

[~K+]

Aww, you missed out! The 'infection' PV was uploaded here awhile ago! Probably before you got into Oni, but you should try to find some of lives, they're even more emotional.

[BanFan]

Should I buy the Clip Collection or PRINCESS BELIEVER?

[~K+]

The new clip collection of course, same price, over 3 times the amount of clips.

And PRINCESS BELIEVER is useless after this new one comes out anyway.

[BanFan]

Sorry! I just realized that! >.<

*must get CCC!!*

[BanFan]

Looks like I'm going to have a very nice X-mas and B-day with my list!

Chihiro Onitsuka - 'the Complete Clips' DVD
Chihiro Onitsuka - 'This armor'
Chihiro Onitsuka - 'Sugar high'
Mika Nakashima - LOVE FINAL '04 DVD
Namie Amuro - SO CRAZY '03-'04 DVD
Aikawa Nanase - 7 SEVEN (CD+DVD)
Do As Infinity - Do the Live
New Ayumi Hamasaki Album
New Mika Nakashima Album..? (I hope!)

But I still really want to see the infection PV because Dec 25th is so far away!!

[BanFan]

Is this [DVD] going to be a very limited release? I hope not because I really want it!

[~K+]

Nope, it's not limited.

[BanFan]

Yay! It's already out for preorder from Yesasia, but it's under videos not music videos and karaoke and it says it has karaoke funtion...Weird.

Only 50 days until Christmas, when I get this.

[~K+]

Another one of yesasia's many boo boos. It's be like...interesting if it actually does have the Karaoke Function. o_O'

[BanFan]

*really needs to buy this (Complete Clips) in his next Yesasia order with ACOUSTIC:LATTE & MUSIC*

I've been putting it off way too long, and it's worth it for Infection DVD Quality! And 17 PVs for $35 is a really good deal!

Did anyone actually end out buying this? If so, what's it like? Any bonus stuff, nice menus or chapter inserts? More importantly, how are her videos? (Has only seen Infection and Memai, but back then Infection was the only song I liked but now I love Memai and every song off her Best album).

This DVD has five songs not on the best album too:Cage, Edge, LITTLE BEAT RIFLE, ROLLIN', Beautiful Fighter and Iihi Tabidachi Nishi e, all songs I haven't heard, so that's pretty good to get those too.

[~K+]

I still don't have the spare cash to be able to afford the DVD comfortably...

I'll screencap the Little Beat Rifle PV later, if it's still on the computer.
