Single Collection + Mitsubachi

Well, since someone let the cat out of the bag online Maaya's official website has confirmed the rumours and updated with news of Maaya's 3rd single collection, due to be released on November 14th 2012. The title is: Single Collection + Mitsubachi. What you may have noticed is that instead of a CD/DVD edition, the first press is coming with a Blu-Ray of all Maaya's music videos from 'Universe' up to her newest single 'More Than Words'.

Once again, this means that her old videos for 'Feel Myself', 'Loop' and 'Honey Come' still aren't available for collectors to own (at least in high quality.) I wonder if this is because Maaya herself doesn't think they would be worth putting on a release?...Or perhaps the quality is so poor that they cannot be upgraded - especially if this format is Blu-Ray only.

CD + Blu-Ray is going to be a first press edition priced at 6,300 yen while the CD only version is a fraction of the price at 2,625yen.

The last song is a new track with music by Yoko Kanno and lyrics by Yuho Iwasato. So...out of 17 songs I need...five for my collection. Uggghhhh. And seven of them are already on albums. I should have just waited for this CD to come out rather than buying every single since Loop. My wallet is crying salty tears.

Also, predictably, the tour's title has been updated to reflect the single collection's title: 'Mitsubachi'. I imagine the setlist is going to be focused on the songs above, although they might tweak the order a bit.
