Namie's sexond studio album (after her million-selling Eurobeat album "Dance Tracks Vol.1") was a phenomenal success, selling almost 2 million copies during it's first week, over 3,36 million copies during it's original chart-run and over 4 million copies to date, also producing three massive million-selling singles one 800,000 selling single and one 500,000 selling one. According to various sources it is considered to be a classic and groundbreaking album for it's time. It reformed the Japanese pop culture and fashion, as million of Japanese teenaged girls started copying her brown long hair, her unique short skirts and her high heels. It also impacted Japanese pop music very much, as Jpop became way more pop-flavoured than before. Generally, Namie introduced electronic and techno sounds in Jpop.

"An example of her clothes and style which created a craze in Japan, just like the Madonna craze during the entire 80's, or the Brintey Spears craze during the late 90's-early 00's"
Songs like "Don't Wanna Cry:, "Body Feels Exits", "Chase the Chance" and "You're my Sunshine" are considered to be classic Jpop songs. I also think that she was the first artist who started titling all her songs in English, a feat followed by every single Jpop act since then.
A truly brilliant album which wrote history. Also, my 2d favorite Namie studio album after "Play". :mrgreen: :D
