Album Notes & Community Reviews
Ayumi Hamasaki's third studio album, produced by Max Matsuura and written entirely by Hamasaki, is a central document of mainstream J-Pop at the turn of the century. Its Pop Rock, dance and ballad forms use melodic female vocals to sustain an introspective treatment of desire, loss and romantic instability.
