New live DVD/BD 'ARENA TOUR 2012 ~HLS~' March 8, last of five 15th anni. releases

[SolarAngel]

These 5 releases have just been so haphazard and don't seem well thought out at all despite what Ayu or Avex might say. Mini, mini, remix (or classical), album (which ripped off the minis) and DVD. There's no clear theme or direction. It's just held together as the 5 month countdown for her 15th anniversary.

I'm fine with the releases individually speaking but to bundle them together in this manner is kinda lame IMO.

^ like this. The order is not the best, I agree, but really does it change the content of what fans got? No. Does it change the quality of the content? No. Will you remember the order these releases came in a few months? No. Is A BEST 3 the possible conclusion of this, making "ordering" complaints seem silly? Yes.

I still smell A BEST 3, no releases on the anniversary doesn't seem to make sense. Something has to happen on that day. And it's time for the next one.

First live DVD/blu-ray I'll be buying where I actually attended the concert. Will it be a different experience watching it back knowing I had seen the tour in the flesh?
