Though there’s no manner one double-disc album might appropriately cowl the complete vary of Hikaru’s profession – it’s lacking a number of No. 1 hits, like “Be My Final,” “Dareka no Negai ga Kanau Koro,” “Movin’ On With out You” and “Wait & See (Threat),” not to mention the deep cuts! – that is nonetheless a fairly good overview.
