Background and release

edit

While active with Dream and E-girls, Ami released a series of singles between 2015 and 2017; after her final performance with E-girls in July 2016, she announced that those singles were included in an upcoming solo album, Re: Dream, to be released in October.[3] She posted on Instagram that she was working on the lyrics for one of the album songs on July 19,[4] and that she went to Sweden to complete the production and recording of the song on July 23.[5][6]

On September 2, promotional photos and additional details about the album were released.[7] Re: Dream was released in four different formats. The standalone CD consisted of seventeen tracks with four previously unreleased songs, including a cover version of E-girls' hit song "Follow Me". The music videos for the promotional recordings "XOXO" and "Re: Dream", unveiled on September 7 and 15,[8][9] were featured in the bonus DVD of the CD/DVD edition alongside the music videos for the five singles of Re: Dream and a documentary movie. The limited edition came with a photobook titled Minuet and shot when Ami was in Sweden.[10] First-press editions included promotional posters from her photoshoot in Sweden.[11]

Five singles were released from Re: Dream. "Dress wo Nuida Cinderella" was released as the first single from the album on July 29, 2015. The music video directed by Shigeaki Kubo was premiered on YouTube on June 10, 2015.[12] It peaked at number five on the Oricon Singles Chart with 34,096 copies sold in its first week, making it the best selling physical single from Re: Dream.[13]

"Lovefool (Sukidatte Itte)" was released as the third single from the album on October 19, 2016. The song is a cover of the Cardigans' Lovefool and its accompanying music video was officially unveiled a month before the release.[18] It is the lowest peaking single from Re: Dream, peaking at number nine on the Oricon chart.[19] It reached the same peak position on Japan Hot 100.[20]

A month before the album release, Ami took part in a concert event in Tokyo alongside other LDH artists where she performed "Re: Dream" for the first time, and several other songs from the album.[30] She then promoted the album on music shows, starting with Fuji TV's Music Fair on September 30 where she performed the album's title track.[31] During the week of the album release, she performed "Re: Dream" again on TBS' Count Down TV on October 7,[32] and "Hayaku Aitai" on NHK's Shibuya Note on October 8.[33] Additional media appearances included interviews about the album on local morning shows,[34][35] radio shows and magazines throughout the months of September and October.[36][37] To commemorate the album release, Ami hosted a live stream event on Line Live on October 7.[38]
