"I received Noriko Box in the mail, coincidentally, on 3/21/2002, the day of the release. The collection is just amazing!Disks 1 through 4 contain the #1 and #2 track from each of her 34 CD singles (if you have the original singles, most of them contain the #1 and #2 tracks in sing-along format). It's nice to have all of the singles on four disks. I was about to make my own CD when I heard that Noriko Box did the work already!Disk 5 is somewhat interesting. It contains the song "Nori-P Ondo", and "Nori-P Kouza - Bon-odori-hen", which were previously released on cassette tape under the pseudonym "Nori-P", and "Urepi - Tanopi - Menkorapi - NORI Ping" which was previously released on CD book only. These songs are quite kawaii if you're into that sort of thing!The DVD contains footage from her very early days (I estimate 1986-1987). Quite amusing to see how she looked and what her personality was like. Half of the DVD is dedicated to a sci-fi short movie called "Alien Hunter P", which was previously released only on VHS. In it, she plays a fighter of sorts who conquer monsters. This was also filmed in her earlier days.Finally, it comes with a really nice booklet chocked full of photos and lyrics. For you collectors, it also breaks down her entire discography. And, the disks are contained in a very attractive six-folded sleeve.
