Information

"Memorial address" is Hamasaki Ayumi's first mini-album. It is available in two formats, CD or CD+DVD package, which was a first for Hamasaki at that time. Of the album's 8 tracks, only three of them are new material to the album: ANGEL'S SONG, Because of You and Memorial address.

"Memorial address" reached #1 on the Oricon charts selling 524,028 copies on its first week. It sold 1,059,534 copies in 2004, becoming the #5 album of the year. It charted for 48 weeks and sold a total of 1,062,288 copies. It is currently the best-selling mini-album by a Japanese female singer, having sold over a million copies in Japan. As of 2008, Memorial address is the 250th best selling album in Japan.

The melody of the title track, "Memorial address", was written by Yukumi Tetsuya of the independent band LOVER SOUND TRACK, originally used in their song "kumo". Since this song, Hamasaki has used Yukumi's songwriting talents extensively; he wrote a good portion of songs on Hamasaki's 2004 album, "MY STORY".
