Jin Akanishi Gives Fans His Best!

Japanese vocalist, songwriter, producer, actor, and former KAT-TUN member Jin Akanishi unveiled his first greatest hits album OUR BEST which is set for release April 22! OUR BEST will include a total of 32 songs spread between two discs. The first disc is titled “YOUR BEST”, as it features tracks that were chosen by members of Jin-san’s Fanclub. The second disc, “MY BEST”, will contain songs chosen by Jin-san himself. The regular edition holds its own, as it will contain two bonus tracks which will not be included on the limited edition versions. The track listing will have songs from Jin’s career with Go Good Label along with tracks before his solo career which will be re-recorded and remastered.

OUR BEST will come in three types which span over five editions in total. Type A Limited Editions will come in CD + Blu-ray and CD + DVD editions which will include 12 music videos. Type B Limited Editions will also come in CD + Blu-ray and CD + DVD editions which will include a documentary which tracks five years of Jin’s solo career and includes the MCs from his concert tours. As mentioned earlier, the CD-regular edition will include two bonus tracks: “But I Miss You” and the new track “Alone”. All editions will include 32 tracks spread between two discs.

Pre-order links are below, along with a tentative track listing. Also check out Jin’s latest video “THANK YOU”, which was used as the promotional track for his album THANK YOU, which was released last May.
