Best albums are not pointless, they are the perfect release for casual fans as they prefer one album full of popular songs over 5 individual albums with 2-3 singles each. It's the reason best albums sell so well.

Compilations tear conceptual works into pieces. The purpose of a Best album is to promote the artist by compiling the best of their works into one record and attract more attention. It's not an artistic effort; it's strategy.

Of course it's strategy. It's answering to the public's demand. Not the fans' demand, the public's demand. That's why it's not pointless, it's just often pointless for fans.

It's strategy, but Ayu and her Avex co-workers pay their bills with money, not with concept...
