====== Bitter and Sweet ======

**//Bitter and Sweet//** is one of my favourite albums. I tend to think of it as perfect, but //Babylon//'s chorus bugs enough that I have to skip it, and the other last long isn't great wither.

There are three main versions:

  * Original 1985 release
  * Remaster from 2014 (I'm assume the 2018 release is the same)
  * a 2023 release that includes the inferior single version of 飾りじゃないのよ涙は and its B-side tacked on the end (ugh), and a disc of karaoke versions of everything.

There's also a concert video on LD/DVD/BR from the album's tour: [[discogs>2247670|Bitter & Sweet 1985 Summer Tour]], and a [[https://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/29342/30PL-2001/Akina-Nakamori:-Bitter-amp;-Sweet|'single' version with only four songs]].
