A confident work that shows the artist at his peak of maturity.
A masterpiece that stands out for its sophisticated, adult musicality.
This album reflects the firm identity she has established as an artist 10 years after her debut. From song selection to vocal expression, she demonstrates mature judgment and expressiveness. As the title "Pride" suggests, the album is filled with the pride and confidence of a professional singer, and is regarded as an exemplary work that demonstrates the ideal growth process for a J-POP artist.
