Oneness M is the sixth studio album by Japanese musician Sugizo, released on November 29, 2017. The album is a celebration of the musician's 20-year career. It was released in two editions: a regular edition and a limited edition with the instrumental version of all songs. Sugizo invited ten well-known vocalists to sing for the album, such as Ryuichi, Kyo, ToshI, etc.[1]
Writing
[edit]The track "Towa" was originally written to be on Luna Sea's 2013 album A Will, while "Phoenix ~Hinotori~" was originally written for X Japan's unreleased sixth album.[2] The lyrics for each song were written by their guest,[3] with the exception of "Daniela" feat. Yoohei Kawakami, where the lyrics were written by Takuro[4] and "Voice", which had previously been released on Sugizo's 2003 album C:Lear with lyrics written by him.[5]
In 2019, Sugizo re-recorded "Hikari no Hate" with Aina the End on vocals to be used as one of the ending themes of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin - Advent of the Red Comet.[6] It was later included on his 2020 album Love & Tranquility.[7]
Charts
[edit]The album peaked at number twenty-three on the Oricon Albums Chart.[8]
