Before the artist purchased all the rights of her early songs in 2000, Yumi Arai's former publishing company Alfa Music, which had evolved into a full-fledged record label in 1977, had issued over half a dozen of unauthorized compilation albums (they had the ancillary rights for her material at the time). In addition, EMI Music Japan also released a piles of budget-priced compilations on audio cassettes during the 1970s and the early 1980s.

Following materials are the official retrospective albums: Yuming Brand Part I, Album, Super Best of Yumi Arai, Neue Musik, Sweet, bittersweet, The Greatest Hits, Seasons Colours, and The Best of Yumi Matsutoya 40th Anniversary.[17]
