絶頂集 (Zecchoushuu/Zecchoshu/Zecchôshû Ecstasy Collection?) is the single collection of 3 piece sets of Shiina Ringo. It was released on September 13, 2000 by Toshiba EMI / Virgin Music. It was recorded live of a series of "Ecstasy" tours mainly. The performance by a different band is collected to each three pieces.

DISC1 collects three songs from "下剋上エクスタシー (Gekokujou Ecstasy Usurpation Ecstasy?)" tour. DISC2 was going to collect three songs from "学舎エクスタシー (Manabiya Ecstasy School Ecstasy?)". But, it collects the studio recording version instead owing to circumstances. DISC3 collects three songs from secret live tour "発育ステータス 御起立ジャポン (Hatsuiku Status Okiraku Japon Growth Status Standing Up Japon?)".

Because this work had been released in a special form of 3 piece sets though they were singles, it was treated as an album in Oricon. And it took the first place in the album chart.

[edit] Music video

やっつけ仕事 (Yattsuke Shigoto Sloppy Job?)
This promotional video was made later according to the sound recorded in "Gekokujou Ecstasy tour." It was shot on the day of the dress rehearsal of the overnight limited live "Zazen Ecstasy" performed at Kaho theater of Fukuoka in 2000. All extras playing spectators in the theater were her fans, and they were chosen from her fans who drew a blank in the lottery of the live ticket. The parody of the news report of the various countries in the world at the beginning is used as the introduction part of the music of different arrangement recorded in the 3rd album "Karuki Zamen Kuri no Hana" released later.
