Did Heisei Fuuzoku not count as a full length album? I know several songs were just rearranged versions of previous ones, but the album itself was still a solid 12 or whatever tracks.

And I don't dislike Heisei Fuuzoku, it was just not terribly new or exciting material. That jazz sound she's been into really isn't my thing, but when the songs come on I listen and I like.

Though I do go out of my way to listen to the Heisei version of Gambler. It is an amazing epic of a song. Nice lyrics too, as are most of Shiina's.

HF was more like a movie sound track/compilation.

A lot of people were complaining about Karisome Otome being on there but the we still get a ton of stuff. 11 new tracks, 2 old ones and 1 semi-old song competed.
