Concentration 20 is the third studio album by Japanese singer Namie Amuro. It was released on July 24, 1997, by Avex Trax. The album's genre is a fusion of styles including pop, dance, rock, reggae and ska. Unlike Amuro's previous effort, Sweet 19 Blues , which primarily had lyrics written by Tetsuya Komuro, Concentration 20's lyrics were mostly written by Marc Panther. Komuro did, however, compose and arrange most of the album's songs and wrote the lyrics to three of them. It was Namie's second solo album since splitting up with Super Monkey's.

Contents

"A Walk in the Park" was released as the album's lead single on November 27, 1996. The single was very successful, becoming Amuro's fourth number one single on the Oricon Singles Chart and fourth million-seller. The second single, "Can You Celebrate?", was released on February 19, 1997. It became an unprecedented smash hit, selling 2,296,200 copies and remains the best-selling physical single by a female soloist in Japanese music history. "Can You Celebrate?" was certified double million by the RIAJ, her first and last single to receive such a certification. The rock-infused third single, "How to Be a Girl", reached number one and sold over 770,000 copies, becoming Amuro's sixth number one single.

The album received positive reviews upon release and won the Asia Association Music Prize Awards. The album was massively successful, premiering at the top of the Oricon Albums Chart with first-week sales of 824,980 copies. It resided on the charts for 28 weeks, and was the seventh best-selling album of the year, selling nearly two million copies and is the 80th best selling album of all time in Japan. Combined with the sales of its singles, Concentration 20 has sold around 4.5 million copies.

Background and recording

The Record Plant (Hollywood, California) was one of the studios where the album was recorded. The Plant - Sausalito - front door 2.jpg
The Record Plant (Hollywood, California) was one of the studios where the album was recorded.

After Amuro's 1996 album Sweet 19 Blues sold more than three million copies in Japan and for a brief period was even the best-selling Japanese album of all time, recording for a follow-up album began immediately. Much of the recording of Concentration 20 was done in the United States, primarily in California and New York. Two weeks were devoted to recording in Santa Monica, Los Angeles. The title of the album was chosen because, according to Amuro: "the studio at that time was on 20th Street in Santa Monica, and that is where we concentrated." She also stated: "the 20th century is almost over, so let's concentrate on the time we have left," along with, "can we keep listening to this album throughout the 20th century?" The album was named so that it could be played with various meanings, such as "people who were 19 years old when Sweet 19 Blues was released are now entering their 20s," and so on, to broaden the imagination. Coincidentally, the title and Amuro's age at the time of release matched even though she was not aware of it. [2] [3]

Other well-known artists such as Marc Panther, Koji Kubo, and m.c.A.T. (Akio Togashi) also participated in the production of the album. "Storm" features m.c.A.T., as on the previous album. [4]

Composition

The album concept was "Fancy & Cool," with the "glamorous and flashy" part emphasized in "CAN YOU CELEBRATE?" and the "cool" part in "Close your eyes, Close to you," "Concentration 20 (make you alright)" and "Whisper." [3] The album embodies an array of styles including pop, rock and reggae. Unlike her previous album, which was heavy on the pseudo-R&B side, Concentration 20 was practically void of it. Therefore, the album took on a more electronic style similar to that of her producer's group, globe.

Opening the album is the industrial rock influenced, "Concentration 20 (make you alright)." The song was unlike anything she had previously released and embodied the diversity within the project. [5] "B w/z you" is a mid-tempo number with a rock beat and a powerful hammering sound. [5] "Close your eyes, Close to you" is a Euro-style digital rock tune with an intro that is prolonged and dynamic, leading the listener to believe it is an instrumental. [5] "Me love peace !!" is a reggae-style number with a ska beat that evokes the tropical mood of Okinawa. [5] She would not attempt a similar style again until 2005's "Want Me, Want Me," which featured prominent dancehall and reggaeton influences. "No Communication" is a dance pop number. [5] "a walk in the park" is a brisk digital rock number with a chorus that envelops the listener in warm sunlight. Komuro participates by singing in the chorus. [5] "To-day" is a mellow song with contemporary AOR influences. [5]

"Storm" is full-fledged rap number written by m.c.A.T. and composed by Akio Togashi. [4] [5] "Whisper" is song that has a composition that changes from the whispering sound of the title to intense digital rock. [5] "CAN YOU CELEBRATE?" is ballad with a gospel-like chorus, a string orchestra and a piano sound. [5] "I know…" is an instrumental with an electric sound. [5] "How to be a Girl" is an upbeat dance rock number. [5]

"How to Be a Girl" is the third and last single from the album and was released in May 1997. "How to Be a Girl" is Amuro's first attempt at rock music.
