The final set in the SHO-CO-SONGS series, and my personal favorite. It collects all of the tracks from Shoko's final two albums with Epic/Sony, along with B-sides, the extra material that was released on Atashi no Tabiji, and three unreleased songs. The first unreleased song, "Tatta HItori no Anata," is an outtake from RadioGenic, and certainly would have been among the best songs on that record had it not been cut. The other two new tracks are demos; the first ("Isshoni") dates from the Snapshots time period, and the last one ("Kuroi Yoru") is from the Candy Apple Red time period. Additionally, the bonus DVD this time around is the best of the bunch; there are three PVs and plenty of full live performances taken from a show on the Snapshots tour in late 1995. All in all, a fantastic set that any fan should own.
