GUILTY is Ayumi Hamasaki's 9th full-length studio album, released on New Year's Day 2008 (though it was released throughout various stores in Japan after Christmas 2007).

The album was released in two versions, CD+DVD and CD Only. First press copies came with a limited edition photobook. The CD+DVD version included all the music videos from the single "glitter" to the digital single "Together When...", including making-of's.

It follows in the footsteps of the rock-influenced "Secret", with a similar balance of rock and pop sounds. The album features four interlude tracks - highly unusual compared to her past releases. This was met with some contention from fans.

Andy Selway of KMFDM and Chris Chaney of Jane's Addiction are featured as session musicians on the album.

Hamasaki's official website announced on March 17, 2008 that Guilty will be released digitally in over 26 countries worldwide, a first for any Japanese artist. The album would be digitally released through the Apple iTunes stores in North America, Oceania, Europe, and Asian countries where the physical version of the album was already released. This is officially Hamasaki's first release outside Asia.
