Love Again (Ayumi Hamasaki album)
Love Again is the fourteenth full-length studio album released by Japanese singer Ayumi Hamasaki. Stylistically, the album is a return to the aesthetic of Hamasaki's twelfth album, Love Songs. It was released in Japan on February 8, 2013 in six physical versions: CD Only, CD+DVD, CD+Blu-ray, Playbutton, CD+DVD+Goods, and CD+Blu-ray+Goods.[1]
15th anniversary
Love Again is the fourth of five releases released to celebrate the fifteenth year of Hamasaki's signing to her record label, Avex. Instead of singles, Hamasaki released two mini-albums Love and Again (the first and second installments of her five anniversary releases). All original tracks from Love and Again are included on the album, as well as "You & Me", a new track from A Summer Best. The album sold 56,348 copies by the end of the first week in Japan.
