Super Best was the compilation album by the Japanese band The Blue Hearts.[1] This retrospective is composed of their early efforts released by Meldac Records between 1987 and 1989. It also features two rarities that had not been issued on CD - "Blue Hearts Yori Ai o Komete", the song appeared on the video The Blue Hearts Live!, and "1985", the track taken from an independently produced soundsheet which was sold at their concert before they made a contract with the record label.
Super Best came out a month after the release of East West Side Story, another compilation which comprises materials after they moved to EastWest Japan. The record peaked at number-four on the Japanese Oricon chart upon its release, and it re-entered there after string of their songs were featured on the TV-drama Hito ni Yasashiku aired by Fuji Television in 2002. From that year onwards, the album have remained on the top-300 of the chart for over 200 weeks.[2] Super Best was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan in November 2002, for shipments of over 800,000 copies.[3] [4]
