Hi Mike,
I like ZARD as well,..have one album on CD.

Date:11/27/1998. Mike from S.C. 's message 

>Hi Benjamin and all,
>
>FINALLY!
>
>"Can't Say Goodbye" on a best hits collection. It's always been a song that's
>deserved the description of "one of Seiko's best," and it appears in ONE PLACE
>(Forever) and that's it.
>
>So, Benjamin, I am delighted that you showed EXCELLENT taste by including it
>in your collection...:-)
>
>I mentioned this once here before, but Seiko's management and record company
>could learn a big, big lesson from Izumi Sakai of ZARD and her label, B-Gram.
>In 1999 she released two single-disc "collection" discs: "ZARD Best: The Singles
>Collection" and "ZARD Best: Request Memorial." The "Singles Collection" 
>consisted of songs chosen by Izumi and the record company. "Request Memorial"
>included the songs voted by her fans as their favorites (and not already 
>included on "Singles Collection"). As a bonus, each CD came with a very nice
>extra: one had a glossy full color large photobook, the other a nice desktop
>calendar, and both had personal messages to the fans from Izumi. 
>
>It was a gesture to the fans that said "I appreciate you, I listen to you,
>thank you for your support and here are your favorites...with a nice gift as an
>extra."
>
>Why is it so difficult for Sony and Mercury to make a similar gesture to Seiko's
>fans? "Seiko Suite" was big and expensive and out of that whole 7-CD / 1-DVD
>package, ONE of those discs EASILY could have been designated as a "fans
>favorites" disc. Maybe some day the record labels will learn...
>
>Until then, I'm sure we'll all keep making our various mix lists...:-)
>
>Best regards,
>

>>Dear All,
>>
>>Before I selected my Seiko xmas songs, I¡¦ve come up with
>>
>>SEIKO MD HITS VOL.1 ¡V Songs of the 90s.

>>The reason behind is that Seiko has released so many singles in the past
>>few years that I wanted to record all the coupling tracks into one MD so
>>that I don¡¦t have to put in and take out the singles from my CD player.
>>I can also preserve the durability of the singles.  I also include others 
>>songs in Sweetest Time and Guardian Angel.
