Like most of her albums near this time, it was released in both a CD-Only and CD+DVD version.
 
  
The album's sound takes rock influence a step further than previously heard. Some tracks have a decidedly more "raw" feeling than most of Hamasaki's work.
+
; Information
 +
Secret is Hamasaki Ayumi's eighth album. It debuted at the top spot of the Oricon weekly chart with first week sales of 386,280 copies. Track #5 "It was" was originally produced for her previous album [[(Miss)understood|(miss)understood]] but for some unknown reason it wasn't included on it.
  
The cover art features Hamasaki posing with a pegasus tattoo on her back. Part of this tattoo is real - a half-heart shape, a small wing coming out of the side of it, and an A inside of it. The pegasus figure was drawn in body paint with the real tattoo as a base. The half-heart became the pegasus' shoulder, and the wing was expanded.
+
Secret is believed to be Hamasaki's most successful album yet in worldwide sales. Not only did Secret top the Japanese charts, the album was an instant number-1 hit in countries as Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong and China surpassing the (miss)understood international success, being in Taiwan the #2 Japanese album of the year with a 3.54% of total sales.
  
Secret charted at '''#1''' on the Oricon charts and sold 386,280 copies on its first week.
