Finally (sometimes referred as ALL TIME BEST ALBUM 「Finally」) is the seventh compilation album by Japanese singer Namie Amuro. It was released on November 8, 2017 by Dimension Point and Avex Trax in three physical formats, alongside limited edition goods. Additionally, Finally is the final musical release by the singer before she retired from the music industry on September 16, 2018.
The album compiles a total of 39 previously released singles from Amuro's back catalogue, all re-recorded with new vocals and arrangements; an additional 13 new tracks were placed on the third disc, making up for her final original album. Early commentators praised the retrospect, and Amuro, for her vocals, the production and dancing skills of the music videos. Commercially, it was a success in Japan, debuting at number one on the Oricon Albums Chart and Billboard Hot Albums chart with a record-breaking one million sales. In 4 years, the album managed to push 4 million sales. It made Namie the first artist in J-History to have a million selling album in their first 4 decades: 10s,20s,30s and 40s, further establishing her role as one of the top leading divas in Japanese history. Each re-recording of the songs received overwhelming critical acclaim.
In order to promote the album, Amuro released six singles. The first single, "Red Carpet", was released on December 2, 2015, and followed with: "Mint", "Hero", "Dear Diary", "Fighter", and her final single "Just You and I". Furthermore, the singer conducted a nationwide tour in various dome venues, alongside shows in China, Hong Kong and finished in Taiwan. The DVD of this tour pushed 800K units in a calendar year and could possibly be certified for 1M sales.
