What's up with avex? Kumi released a playlist as an album, Ayu releasing a bunch of video playlist as DVD... Such a weird and expensive release.

Look at globe's releases after they "disbanded"...Avex has nothing but nostalgia to milk now. Plus they need to recoup some of the money they would have made from all the live stuff that got cancelled this year.

late-stage capitalism + decrease in revenue due to global pandemic + an industry giant which had been accustomed to ripping off consumers anyway

Her latest compilation album is the setlist of her new tour, same order of songs and everything (with few chances because she always changes the setlist during a tour). Just like those playlist that are available on Spotify/Amazon Music for Ayu's concerts, Kumi has some of those as well, but now it was released as a physical CD.

The good thing about this release is that Natsu no Trouble is not like the CDL 2002-2003. Can you imagine having to go through all the trouble of getting a coupon to later get this DVD and being a limited time thing like the CDL was? It's funny and sad at the same time seeing reviews on Amazon saying that the LIVE BOX has a missing DVD.

lol I don't think it's a good idea but just checked the DVD and it's a live best-of just as BEST LIVE BOX maybe this is avex "new marketing idea" post covid19
