==Background== In April 2015, Hamasaki released her sixteenth studio album A One. Comprised with thirteen newly recorded tracks, Hamasaki stated in an interview that the album was her most personal and passionate album. Despite this, the album missed the top spot and reached number four on the Japanese Oricon Albums Chart and has sold over 52,000 units in Japan. She promoted the album during her Arena Tour 2015 A: Cirque de Minuit. In mid-April 2015 while she was on tour, Hamasaki confirmed work of a sixth extended play.
