World Wild 2010 (World Wild two-o-one-zero, stylized all caps) is the second studio album by Japanese electronica singer-lyricist Saori@destiny. The album was released in Japan on April 14, 2010 by D-topia Entertainment. The album charted and peaked at its debut position of number 35 in Oricon daily charts and number 129 in Oricon weekly charts, selling 812 copies,[1] though the album only charted for a week, making it her highest-charting release yet. This is Saori@destiny's current highest selling album.

On June 30, 2010, the album was made available through iTunes internationally,[2] making World Wild 2010 the first ever D-topia album to be released and distributed worldwide.

Background

WORLD WILD 2010 marks a change in Saori@destiny's previously-established musical style by incorporating foreign genres of dance music. Brazilian funk carioca and Indonesian funkot were advertised in the album's tagline, and greater emphasis is placed on organic instrument sounds.

The decision to release the album globally through iTunes was taken by Saori's management after she received a message from an international Saori@destiny fan community via Mixi.[3]

Legacy

Labelmate Aira Mitsuki covered the songs "I Can't" and "Grotesque" as bonus CD tracks for her first EP, 6 Force, which was released a couple of months after World Wild 2010. The former is only available in a bonus CD sold at Tower Records, the latter at HMV.

Despite changing stage names a couple of times, Saori still performs the song "I Can't" at her one-man live concerts as of 2023.
