'''INSPIRE''' is [[Hamasaki Ayumi]]'s 33rd single. INSPIRE was used as a theme song for a Fuji-TV special on the Guggenheim Museum in New York as well as a tie-in for avex auditions 2004. GAME was used in the Panasonic 700MD commercial months before the single's release, which gave rise to many rumors about a single named "G" in which GAME was the title track. This never came to pass, and GAME was released as a double A-side on INSPIRE. Avex also never intended for the GAME PV to be on the CD+DVD version of the single, and was added in right before the single went on sale in July 2004.
