About this album
release date: 01.01.1999
genre: Pop
label: Avex Trax
producer: Max Matsuura
lyrics: Ayumi Hamasaki
A Song for ×× was Ayumi Hamasaki’s debut album on a major label. Though the official release date was January 1, 1999, the album was sold in the record stores since mid-December. To the critics’ surprise, the album debuted at the top position of the Oricon Charts and topped the chart for five weeks, a remarkable feat for a debut album. The album debuted at #1 with more than 548,210 copies sold. This was mainly due to the fact that “A Song for ××” debut sales was the first and second week sales combined (Oricon only has 51 weeks instead of 52). The album stayed on the charts for 63 weeks and eventually went on to sell a more than a million copies. As of 2008, A Song for ×× is the 139th best selling album of all time.
* Total Sales : 1,451,910 (Japan)
* Total Sales : 2,000,000 (Asia)
Please realize that the correct name for this album as well as the song it was named for is ‘A Song for ××’. Note that ×× is not the same as xx or XX, these are multiplication symbols meant to be read as ‘the times’. Now as the title is read, it is ‘A Song for the times’.

And I really like it. Partially because I used to listen to it when I was twelve-ish. Hearing her early stuff again makes me feel all nostalgic.

Give Ayu a break, she was, what, 20 years old when she recorded this? I'd say she had the right to sound childish and naive, being so young and all. This was her debut on a major record label - if she hadn't released this her music career would not be what it is today. It was a necessary stepping stone.

WHAT THE HECK was she thinking when she released this one? all the tracks, except 'a song for xx' and 'depend on you' sound so childish, naive, boring, like she wanted to play it safe, without taking risks... if she hasn't released this album, i could say her career must have been untouchable!

Of all albums I heard, certainly the strongest ouput. I certainly prefer 80s and 90s flicks than all that industrial shit she released later...
