Music Life is the thirteenth studio album by Japanese pop rock band Glay, released on November 5, 2014. It reached #2 on the Oricon weekly charts,[1] #5 on their monthly chart for November,[2] and #58 on their 2014 Year-End Chart,[3] as well as reaching #4 on the Billboard Japan Top Albums chart.[4]
The album was released in three different editions: one regular edition with the 11 new tracks, and two special editions, each containing a second CD, Ballads Best☆Melodies or Ballads Best☆Memories—the latter of which being exclusive to the band's online store, G-Direct—containing previously released ballads by the band. The track list of both compilations was decided by fan votes.[5]
The cover art of the album was inspired by The Beatles' Revolver, and was designed by Klaus Voormann, Revolver's cover artist.[5] [6] Commenting on the cover, guitarist and main songwriter Takuro said:[5]
The track "Hashire! Mirai" was used as the opening theme of the anime adaptation of Ace of Diamond.[7] The track "Sakurabito", composed by Takuro upon request by the Fukushima Hamakaido Sakura Project, was included as the ending track of both compilations.[5]
