A- miliyah's fashion is almost 100% on point. Contrary to most artists that dress well, miliyah actually is fashionable not simply following trends and classic tropes. I love Ayu but Ayu wearing a cute black dress and some Louboutins doesn't make her fashion good it just means she can dress herself at the most basic levels. miliyah is probably one of the few breaths of fresh air in terms of fashion, having fun, and exploring styles. Look at brands like vetments, Craig green, yohji, acne, miliyah's style is actually quite on point. So I dunno what all this talk about her fashion team failing.
Second point, the idea that a female artist can have her peak and then recover sales based on the quality of her music is literally almost non existent in j-Pop... Once you release your 3 albums and your 1 compilation your sales drop massively, unless your going on to become one of the legends of Japanese music. Last point: I love this album <3 it's so amazing. Can't stop listening to ittttt

Best compilation is like test: are you worth to still invest in you. If your "best" will sell poorly you'll loose your contract or eventually they'll try to extremely change your image and music style to rise sales this way. If your "best" will sell well it'll strenghten your position on the music market and give you chance to continue your music career. I could give in this place multiple examples of singers for who best compilation was actually the true beginning of a career.

A few examples for artists who declined significantly after a Best album (in bold) are: Ai Otsuka: 2007 - Ai AM BEST - 750k 2008 - LOVE LETTER - 180k MIKA NAKASHIMA: 2005 - MUSIC - 550k 2005 - BEST - 1.2M 2007 - YES - 300k Kana Nishino: 2011 - Thank you, LOVE - 380k 2012 - Love Place - 350k 2013 - Love Collection - 600k (Two-Disc Release) 2014 - with LOVE - 250k 2015 - Secret Collection - 250k (Two-Disc Release) YUI: 2008 - I LOVED YESTERDAY - 480k 2008 - MY SHORT STORIES - 270k 2010 - HOLIDAYS IN THE SUN - 315k Utada Hikaru: 2002 - DEEP RIVER - 3.6M 2004 - Utada Hikaru Single Collection Vol. 1 - 2.6M 2004 - Exodus - 1M 2006 - ULTRA BLUE - 900k 2008 - HEART STATION - 1M We shouldn't discount that HEART STATION actually sold far more than the million Oricon counted. If we average out the online sales for every song (15M / 5 [a single song download is about 1/5th the cost of a full album]), HEART STATION actually generated almost 4M in physical-equivalent sales. But still, her overall sales declined sharply after Single Collection Vol. 1. There are sooo many more good examples. I'm just tired of sifting through wiki data. Edit: Just to clarify I used the standard cost of 3,990Y for a full CD and 750Y for a single song download.

^Here you go!
I saw DRAMATIC LIBERTY tour 2016 last night, it was fantastic! Great show, great energy, pretty decent setlist and interesting performances. Think Madonna meets Grimes with a hint of Kylie and some typical messy Miliyah. The crowd were a little bit dead but I didn't mind, I ended up having a fantastic view being in the front row on the 3rd level - got to see the whole stage unobstructed. Great screen visualisations and props (a mechanical unicorn being my favourite), but the outfits were messy. Her vocals were on point. Nearly all the old songs were half/short versions though which was annoying, but most of the songs (including latest album tracks) were re-worked for the tour which was nice. They were really pushing the new album though, she spoke about it in her one MC, they had signs trying to get people to buy it everywhere, they played the CM for it after the show... they seemed quite desperate (trying harder than I'd ever seen at a show before). I hung around afterwards with 50~ people, Miliyah came out about 1 hour after the show finished. She was nice enough to actually get out of her minivan and say hi and thank everyone for coming out and hoping we had fun and waved at us and then left, which was nice. She looked so cute! Setlist: Pre-show DJ set M.U.S.E. 00. Opening (video montage) 01. WANNA BE 02. デアー ロンリーガール 03. I miss you 04. FASHION 05. Lonely Heart 06. MIRROR MIRROR (video montage) 07. LIBERTY 08. This is my party 09. Love / Affection 10. うたかたの日々 11. Never call me again 12. dancer interlude 13. H.I.K.A.R.I. 14. 天国のドア 15. Want You Back 16. 女神の光 17. Love is... 18. CLIMAX (video montage / dancer interlude) 19. 少年少女 20. リップステイック MC 21. 今夜はブギー・バック 23. Higher 24. HEART BEAT 25. ピース オブ ケイクー愛を叫ぼうー E1: FUTURE LOVER-未来恋人- I audio-recorded the whole show but my soundcloud isn't letting me upload it ...

I completely forgot to listen to LIBERTY when it came out...I remembered randomly yesterday and listened to the album on my way in to work this morning and HOLY SHIT IT'S PHENOMENAL. idek what my favorite tracks are yet but I see this album getting a lot of replay for me this summer and I can't wait to pick up a copy when I'm in Japan in a couple of weeks.
edit: My only complaint is Piece of Cake...that song has absolutely no place on this album |

~~~~ I've been listening a lot to Thelma's 'One Day feat AI and Miliyah'. I am not that familiar with Thelma's discography, but I feel like that song could of been on a Miliyah album. |

tbqh, it's basically the same....only less risky, less inspired and less good.

This is random but
I was at my university vs another university soccer match and then half time came and the half time act ended up being Miliyah Kato, spazzed cuz I had no idea!! She performed with the cheerleaders one song i didn't recognize and Future Lovers, it was funny and she was still promoting her tour to the audience
