3rd compilation album from Namie Amuro.It's released on July 30, 2008 and 1st since her 2nd compilation album in 2002. The 6 years gap may become a reason why this album became so popular since few months before it's released.
Many fans said it's a very correct time for her to release another compilation album because of her revived popularity in the past one year. She got back #1 in album chart last year (PLAY) since her last
#1 in 2000 and #1 in single chart this year (60s 70s 80s) since her last in 1998 (10 years), plus an award in VMA Japan 2008 which reveal her comeback. What the fans said maybe correct looking at the fact that this album did top the chart for 6 consecutive weeks, made her as the first female solo singer to do so since 1979 or almost 30 years. The album still continues to stay in top 10 regularly till now and sold almost 1.4 million in Japan only.
I was not too surprised about how the album can achieve that since I also think that it's just a correct time and enough well promotions. But the only setback in my opinion is that this album looks like more a single collection album rather than best-of album. I cannot see whether they are just too lazy to put a number of nice songs during the past 6 years into one album. How funny they just put the 15 singles released in past 6 years in addition to 2 new songs, although I admire the two new songs which support this album so much. The singles are not bad, but she has some album tracks which are better than some bad singles. I was really disappointed when the tracks of this album were released and I couldn't believe they just made it like a single collection.
Afterall, I still like this album and since I have not listened to her past songs, this album can be a good reference al
though it only contains single tracks. My favorite tracks are Do Me More, Sexy Girl, What A Feeling, Wishing on The Same Star, All For You, Baby Don't Cry, Girl Talk, and White Light, and Rock Steady. Yeah it's more than half of the tracks and the others are also nice to listen. Love the covers, the images, and the PVs ^^
