History
Best Hit AKG is the band's first compilation album. Song selection was determined by members other than Masafumi Goto.[citation needed] The album includes all of their singles up until this point with the exception of "Siren", "World Apart" and "Maigoinu to Ame no Beat".
Limited edition includes bonus DVD of "Return To The Basics vol.1". Live studio recording of the songs from the 1st album "Kimi Tsunagi Five M" are included here in the same order.[1][2]
Gotoh announced via Twitter that the compilation did not represent the end of the band, and that they still planned to release an original album in the summer of 2012.[citation needed] This became Landmark.
This album is also their first to be available for digital download in the United States via iTunes.
