Made in Japan is the seventeenth studio album by Japanese recording artist Ayumi Hamasaki. It initially debuted on the streaming service AWA Japan on May 11, 2016, before receiving a physical and digital release on June 29, 2016. It is Hamasaki's seventeenth consecutive studio album, since her debut album A Song for ××, to be fully written by her and produced by Japanese musician Max Matsuura. Musically, the album encompasses a variety of genres including hard rock, ballad, and electronic dance music. Upon its release, Made in Japan received a positive review by Patrick St. Michel at The Japan Times, who reviewed the album based on its streaming release. Commercially, the album's first week sales underperformed in comparison to Hamasaki's previous albums, but reached number two on the Oricon Albums Chart, making it her highest entry since Love Again in 2013. To promote the release, she embarked on an extension of her 2015–2016 countdown concert tour Made in Tokyo, under the same name as the album. Although no singles were released from the album, the tracks "Flower" and "Mad World" received music videos with the former being performed on Music Station.
