The Twilight Valley is the fifth studio album by Japanese group Garnet Crow. It was released on October 4, 2006, by Giza Studio.

Background

The album includes five previously released singles.

Maboroshi has received new album mix under title album arr. Compared to the original single version, lyrics are performed in different ways and the melodies have a more psychedelic tuning.

The single Kimi no Omoi Egaita Yume Atsumeru Heaven is not included in this album, instead appearing in their first compilation album Best.

This is their first studio album which was released in two formats: regular CD edition and limited edition CD+DVD. The DVD disc contains 15 minutes of digest footage of their live performance Garnet Crow Premium Live -happy 5th anniversary-.[1]

This is one of the two GARNET CROW studio albums (the other being Terminus) not to feature a theme song from Detective Conan. Three songs, however, were included in Anime television series MÄR.

Chart performance

"The Twilight Valley" made its chart debut on the official Oricon Albums Chart at No. 4 with first week sales of 36,060 copies. It charted for eight weeks, selling a total of 58,190 copies.[2]
