Untitled (stylized as 「untitled」) is the sixteenth studio album by the Japanese idol group Arashi. The album was released on October 18, 2017 under their record label J Storm in two editions: a first press/limited edition and a regular edition.[3] With more than 750,000 copies sold, the album was certified Triple Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ).[4] It was released digitally on February 7, 2020.[5][6]
The album was purposely titled to suggest that it is "unfinished".[7] Besides a CD of 13 tracks, the first-run limited edition also contains a DVD of the music video and making-of for the album's lead song "Mikan" and 80-page lyrics photo booklet with special packaging. The regular edition also includes 4 unit songs, a bonus track, and a 36-page lyrics booklet.[7]
Arashi also made their first suite with "Song for You". It was created by incorporating melodies from various genres into a song of over ten minutes. It is said to represent the group's past, present, and future. The song "Mikan" (｢未完｣, lit. "Incomplete") was also said to epitomize the album title and contain elements of wa, digital, classical, and hip hop music.[7] Unlike the group's previous albums, Untitled does not contain solo songs, but unit songs sung by either duos or trios.
The music videos use "duality", as in "light and shadow" and "virtual images and real images", as their theme. Unlike previously released music videos, the scenes of the group appearing together are few and are mostly solo shots.[11]
