Zetchōshū (絶頂集 The Acme Collection) is the single collection of 3 mini-CDs by Ringo Sheena. It was released on September 13, 2000 by Toshiba EMI / Virgin Music. The RIAJ certified Zetchōshū as a gold certified album for 200,000 copies shipped.[1]
Background
Zetchōshū contains the live performances of her "Ecstasy Tour" series mainly. Each 3CDs record the performance by three different bands.
Zetchōshū is a single format. However, it was handled as an album by Oricon because of the special format of 3CD set and took the first place 1st in the album chart.
The reason why she released this work as not one album but three pieces of singles' collection is the result of the contract contents with her and Toshiba EMI. She had signed with EMI the contract of releasing CD of the fixed quantity which is within a fixed period of time.
Contents
Disc1 contains three songs from "Gekokujō Xstasy (下剋上エクスタシー Usurpation Ecstasy)" tour.
Disc2 was due to collect three songs from "Manabiya Ecstasy (学舎エクスタシー School Ecstasy)". But, she decided to re-record in studio instead of live performance because she wasn't pleased with that.
Disc3 contains three songs from secret live tour "Hatsuiku Status Gokiritsu Japon (発育ステータス 御起立ジャポン Growth Status Stand Up Japan)".

Music video
- Yattsuke Shigoto
- 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 one-night stand live "Zazen Ecstasy" performed at Kaho theater of Iizuka-shi, 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.
