View (DJ Naoyaman)

Four months after the Japan-only EP came an American one.

"AmericanEP", released on 12 November 2002, reached No. 25 on the American dance album chart.2

In a single year there is one EP named for Japan and one named for America. Reading the discography year by year, this is where my hand stopped.

Making a separate record for each country feels a little nostalgic now, when releasing everywhere at once by streaming is the norm.

Translated from the Japanese original.
