"Free & Easy" is a song written by Ayumi Hamasaki and Dai Nagao for Hamasaki's album ''Rainbow''. The song, the first single from ''Rainbow'' and Hamasaki's 26th total, was released in Japan on April 24, 2002. The single was released with a photobook, ''Hamasaki Republic''; the book, the song's booklet, and the song's music video depict Hamasaki as a "21st century Joan of Arc". ==Background and composition== With ''Rainbow'', Hamasaki took a creative turn, incorporating English verses to the songs, and producing most songs on her own, under the pen-name CREA. "Free & Easy" was written by Hamasaki and produced by CREA along with DAI. In the director notes for ''Rainbow'', Hamasaki explained that the song was inspired by an actual magazine photo shoot with ''Free & Easy'' magazine. The lyrics speak of self-empowerment and freedom.〔 Hamasaki explained:
The song opens with an eastern flute, and Hamasaki sings the verses with a light and airy vocal. As the song progresses, she starts singing with an aggressive tone over a horn accompanied melody.〔(Allmusic )〕 You can also recognize a certain similarity between the title "No Amen" from "The Messenger- Story of Joan of Arc" soundtrack in the beginning. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Free & Easy (Ayumi Hamasaki song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
