"Nothing from Nothing" Released: September 21, 1995
Nothing from Nothing was the first
mini-album recorded by
Ayumi Hamasaki, featuring
Dohzi-T and DJ Bass and released on December 1, 1995.[1] After the album failed to chart, her talent agency and record label,
Nippon Columbia, dropped her. Due to her subsequent success, it is generally considered a collector's item. Since her first album under
Avex Trax, A Song for ×× (1999), topped the
Oricon charts, previously-sold copies of Nothing from Nothing have become sought-after items within her fan base. Musically, Nothing from Nothing is a
hip hop album that features Hamasaki
rapping on all of the tracks, except "Limit".
