Me is the third studio album by Japanese pop/rock artist misono. The album became her first to be released under the pseudonym "Me." She would do this again for her following singles and next studio album, Uchi. [1] Me debuted on the Oricon Albums Charts art #14,but dropped to #35 by the end of the first week,giving the album a weekly ranking at #20. The album dropped to #146 by the end of the second week before falling off the charts. [2] The album was released as a standard CD,CD+DVD and a CD+DVD edition for her fan club. [3] [4] The fan club editions contained different material on the DVD portion,along with the "Dialogue" (Serifu / 台詞) version of the final track,"Last Time ~Romeo Juliet~." [5]
The cover art for the album was in collaboration with Kitty Ex (KITTY EX) and designed by Garcia Marquez. [6] The album contained very little new material,as had been the case with her previous albums Say -sei- (2008) and never+land (2007). For Me, there were three new tracks:"Usotsuki Tane" (ウソツキ種/ Liar Seed),"Joker" and "Last Time ~Romeo Juliet~."
Me contained the track "Tenbin ~Tsuyogari na Watashi×Yowagari na Kimi~," which was the coupling track on her collaboration single It's all Love!. "It's all Love!" had been performed with her sister Kumi Koda back in March 2009. [7] [8] The album also carried misono's most popular ballad "0-ji Mae no Tsunderella" (0時前のツンデレラ/ Cinderella Before Midnight). The song was about the princess Cinderella hoping that the prince would find her and save her from her life with her stepmother and stepsisters. [9] [10] Her sister Kumi would later cover the song on her album Eternity ~Love &Songs~ released in October the same year. [11]
