This was Hamasaki's first single to have a techno/dance approach, quite a change from the rock-pop style of "A Song for XX" and its singles. Version M, the "dance" version, is actually a remix produced by Izumi 'D.M.X' Miyazaki. Version J, the "original" mix of the song, has an arrangement by Keisuke Kikuchi, who also arranged "And then" on the LOVEppears album. The single reached #5 on the Oricon charts and stayed on the charts for a total of nine weeks. During the first week of sales the single sold 70,940 copies, and since then has sold a total of 189,610 copies. ContentsTrack Listing

Music VideoThe PV for "WHATEVER" was directed by Wataru Takeishi. Ayu is singing in a metallic room full of waterfalls while elsewhere, an angel is digging through the remnants of a burned building for any forms of life. The angel is ultimately caught in barbed wire while reaching for a flower, and the video ends with Ayu, as an angel, in a cage wrapped in barbed wire. Live Performances
