^ She's been changing one song on the encore every show, it seems, all the rest of the setlist seems to be fixed. Probably she'll add more songs in the future if she releases a summer single and the tour is still going on.

 They invest money on the DJs to remix the songs, on the photoshooting, working on the art and manufacturing the copies, and if it's not worth it...Unless like 5k copies are enough to profit on a remix album, then it's ok

You're kidding me? For Avex it's ALL about sales. They just released a summer album in early Spring, even if after two years they could have waited three months more, just to have material for what bring REAL money: the tours.
They literally rushed this, recording the new tracks and shooting two PVs in few days and shoving them in the album as quickly as they could. Btw, I CAN'T BELIEVE BON VOYAGE SALES. I'm so depressed.

  but I don't think Driving Hit's is that important concerning the sales and not too bad selling for a remix album imo!

I'm curious about how much it costs to produce a remix cd like that and if it's cheaper and easier to make money with.

Is her concert tracklist fixed? Or has there been any changes?

Listening to my copy of bon voyage and loaded is playing. I absolutely love this song. But am I the only one who hears "hey boy...feel my gumbo" I'm sure that's not what she's saying but I can't get it out of my head.

That's why namie's releasing a ballads best but of course. Dimension Point manufactures her CDs (aka avex trax). They need an album this year to sell a couple of hundred thousands and Namie has to be used all up until she will highly decline as well, even releasing a best that's not even typical for her style. At least they have that... =P
But yeah the Bon Voyage numbers are depressing. Girls are getting their lowest numbers in their career, except for namie (for now). |

i was actually unimpressed with Bon Voyage.
It was okay... but beyond on that nothing really special... Really in love with dreamin now and a few other songs, but blah. JAPONESQUE really spoiled me. |

^ ikr! The first one was planned to be released a bit after Kingdom, it was meant to be a 2CD release with a remix disc and a collab best disc, but due to the scandal it got suspensed and one year later we got Out Works and the first DH as separate releases. The following year was her 10th anniv., so I though it was fair enough to be releasing another remix album after the first, but then they just kept on releasing one each year
 Maybe they prefered taking out the remixes from the singles and having them as a separate release so they could be selling more stuff? The single would keep it sales but now there'd a remix album to gain money on

Avex isn't as much about sales as it is about profits.
Koda's sales are down, everyone's sales are down, but she's still one of the best selling artists in Japan lol Why wouldn't they release a remix album? It sold more than the last album for one of my favorite R&B artists. Honestly, I wasn't very impressed by Bon voyage at first, even though it's so ridiculously fun, buuuuuuttt the songs have grown on me a lot. I listen to LOL at least twice a day. Loaded is so on my list now. I'm actually proud of the album like her others now. I'm really happy with the tone and even though some of the songs are a little not as up to par, I feel like everything contributes nicely...and I still can't get over how fun it is.

For me Bon Voyage was the opposite of Dejavu. Dejavu had amazing singles while the album tracks weren't up to par IMO. Meanwhile Bon Voyage had a weak single cycle but the album tracks were great and much better than I expected. LOADED totally deserved a PV.

Her 15th year starts with 6th December this year, though I`m pretty sure we wont see much of the 15th Anniversary project they already advertised till the new year, 2015.
And a tour or a grand concert or something will be around the actual anniversary date (2015/12/06) probably.
