Two-Mix 25th Anniversary All Time Best is the sixth compilation album by J-pop duo Two-Mix, released by King Records on February 10, 2021.[1][2][3][4]
The album is offered in two editions: 2 CD standard edition and 3 CD + Blu-ray limited edition. The limited edition release features a Mobile Suit Gundam Wing-themed cover illustrated by Tomofumi Ogasawara, who did the artwork for the 2011 manga adaptation New Mobile Report Gundam Wing Endless Waltz: The Glory of Losers.[5][6] In addition, it includes a Blu-ray disc that contains the "White Reflection" anime music video remastered in high definition.[7]
Background
On April 29, 2020, at the same time as the start of the Two-Mix's 25th anniversary project, the decision to release a new compilation album was announced. On the same day, the project's official Twitter account went online saying: "This is not a plan to revive Two-Mix or resume activities." (TWO-MIX復活、活動再開の企画ではございません, Tū Mikkusu fukkatsu, katsudō saikai no kikakude wagozaimasen).[1] On October 23, the decision to release this album was announced and the website for the project was opened.[2][3][6] Upon its opening, the website held the "Two-Mix Song General Election", where fans voted for up to five songs to be included in the new album. The winning votes were announced on November 12.[5]
Chart performance
The album peaked at No. 6 on Oricon's weekly albums chart[8] and No. 7 on Billboard Japan's Hot Albums chart,[9] becoming the duo's first top-10 album since Dream Tactix in 1998.[10]
