Information

Feel the Vibes is the fifth studio album by Japanese hip-hop dance group Lead. It was released two years after their previous studio album, 4, and five months before their first compilation album Lead Tracks ~listener's choice~, released in August the same year.[1] The album became their lowest charting studio album, peaking at No. 44 on the Oricon Albums Chart, remaining on the chart for two consecutive weeks.[2]

The album contained three preluding singles, "Drive Alive", "Umi" and "Stand Up!". "Drive Alive" reached No. 14 on the Oricon Singles Chart, but the others failed to break the top twenty, peaking at No. 27 and No. 20 respectively.[3] Feel the Vibes was released as a standard CD, not carrying a CD+DVD counterpart. However, the music videos for "Drive Alive", "Umi" and "Stand Up!" were later released on the compilation DVD Lead Movies 3 (stylized as Lead MOVIES3) on August 6 alongside Lead Tracks ~listener's choice~.[4] The album would also be given a limited edition release, which came with a photo book.[5][6]

The album-exclusive tracks, "Baby What Turns You On", "Tokio Night" (TOKIO NIGHT) and "Wicked Wicked☆Summer Party" (Wicked Wicked☆SUMMER PARTY) were later chosen by fans to be placed on their album Lead Tracks ~listenere's choice~.[7] The song "Tani☆RAP" (谷☆RAP) was written and composed by Lead's lead rapper Shinya Tanuichi, while both he and member Akira Kagimoto wrote the lyrical portion. The music was performed by DJ TAKU.[8] Shinya also wrote the raps for the songs "Wicked Wicked Summer☆Party," "Tasogare Gradation" and "Thanks for...".

Feel the Vibes was their last studio album until the release of Now or Never on July 18, 2012.
