}} ''Uncontrolled'' is the 10th studio album by Japanese pop and R&B musician Namie Amuro, released on June 27, 2012. The album was released before her 20th anniversary concerts — one in Okinawa in September, and seven across Japan in November and December 2012. The album consists mostly of songs sung in Japanese, however this was the first album of Amuro's to feature several songs sung entirely in English. The album spent three weeks at number one on Oricon's albums chart, making ''Uncontrolled'' the second album of Amuro's to do this after ''Best Fiction'' (2008) spent six weeks at number one. The album was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan. This is her fifth consecutive number one album since 2007, and her sixth consecutive double platinum album since 2005. == Background and development == ''Uncontrolled'' is Amuro's first original studio album since 2009's ''Past < Future'', and follows her collaboration compilation album ''Checkmate!'', released in 2011. Unlike ''Past < Future'', which was released after only one physical single, ''Uncontrolled'' is a compilation of nine songs from singles released between 2010 and 2012, as well as four new songs. Amuro revealed later in an interview that an idea for the album was conceived in early 2012. The album was created as a collection of songs that Amuro wanted to sing, in contrast to a concept or theme-based album. Of the nine tracks released as singles before the album, four were digitally successful enough to receive certifications from Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ): "Fight Together," "Get Myself Back," "Love Story" and "Sit! Stay! Wait! Down!."〔 All of the songs were certified gold for full-length cellphone downloads, except for "Love Story," which was certified triple platinum for ringtones, and double platinum for full-length cellphone downloads. It was Amuro's highest certified song in four years, since 2008's "New Look." Most of the songs were recorded in Tokyo, at Prime Sound Studio Form, with additional recording at Azabu O Studio, Avex Studio and Bunkamura Studio. The exception is "Let's Go," which was recorded at Record Plant in Los Angeles.〔 Amuro had previously recorded at Record Plant in the 1990s, on her albums ''Sweet 19 Blues'' (1996), ''Concentration 20'' (1997) and ''Genius 2000'' (2000). 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「Uncontrolled (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
