Me is the third studio album by Japanese singer Misono, released on June 30, 2010. The album was released in three different formats: CD only, CD+DVD, and a limited edition.

The album was preceded in release by seven singles.

Background

[edit]

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]
