"Stop the music" is the seventh and final single released by Amuro Namie with SUPER MONKEYS. This is their second single billed solely as Amuro Namie. Although the single is most often credited to Amuro, it was released as part of the SUPER MONKEYS with Toshiba-EMI and the back cover of the single reads Amuro Namie with SUPER MONKEYS.[1] It was first released on an 8cm CD, and then later released as a vinyl record. Much like their previous couple singles "Stop the music" is a cover of a song by Eurobeat artist Sophie, which was featured as the B-side for the vinyl. Twenty years later in 2015, Amuro would work with another SOPHIE who is best known for popularizing PC music and covered one of his songs on her tenth studio record _genic along side virtual idol Hatsune Miku. The CD B-side "GOOD-NIGHT was later placed on the SUPER MONKEY's second album and single compliation ORIGINAL TRACKS VOL.1.
After this release the group officially split up and left Toshiba-EMI. Amuro Namie would move onto a solo career and the other girls had already formed MAX (which debuted in May 1995 with "Koisuru Velfarre Dance ~Saturday Night~") and both ended up signing with avex trax. MAX would continue to work as back-up dancers during the yearly stages and throughout the SWEET 19 BLUES recordings, first appearing at Avex Dance Matrix '95 TK DANCE CAMP. Their former label would then release the Amuro billed DANCE TRACKS VOL.1 during her promotion for her solo debut "Body Feels EXIT", and topped the charts reaching #1.
The single was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan for over 400,000 copies being shipped.[2]
