'''''A Song for XX''''' is Ayumi Hamasaki's first full-length album. It was officially released on January 1st 1999, but was advertised as being released on December 26th, 1998, which is when stores had it.

The unusually personal nature of the lyrics on songs such as "POWDER SNOW" helped put this album at the top of the Oricon chart, even though none of its singles accomplished that feat.

The album debuted at '''#1''' ending up being '''#1''' weekly for 5 random weeks on the Oricon charts with the sales of 548,210 copies while it was the Oricon year chart's 2 combined weeks.
