Go is the fifth studio album by Japanese rapper Kreva, released through Pony Canyon on September 8, 2011. It is Kreva's first studio album in two years. [1] The album's title, Go, is a word play on the Japanese word for five (五, go). Kreva explained, "It's my fifth album so I called it Go". [1] Go produced three singles, including the top ten hit " Idome".
The album was released in three formats: limited CD+DVD edition, limited CD+T-shirt edition, and standard CD-only edition. The album's title is reiterated in the price of the CD+T-shirt edition (5,555 yen) as well as its catalog number (PCCA-9855). [2]
Background
Kreva described the album as an "ode to his fans". [3] In a press release issued on August 1, 2011, he spoke about the album's direction:
I wanted to stop focusing on creating a story for each album. Up till now I always put a lot importance on getting the track list and order of songs perfect, but I realized that it made me want to recreate this perfection in concert and I couldn't shake it out of my head. With this album, I want to gain more freedom, break the rules and let go of my manners. [4]
Commercial performance
Go debuted at number 2 on the Oricon Daily Albums chart on September 6, 2011, selling 5,398 copies. [5] The album climbed to number 1 the following day with 7,337 copies sold.
