Love Classics (album)

This was Hamasaki's first for 2015, and dubbed as a "mash-up album" between Hamasaki's love songs and classical music,^[1] it was composed of previously-released ballad love songs, which were rearranged using classical pieces from renowned European compositors, such as Antonio Vivaldi, Johann Sebastian Bach, Frédéric Chopin, and Claude Debussy, among others. The album was commercially prepared to be a Valentine's Day present.^[2] The album cover, created by visual artist Aki Miyajima, is based on one of the covers of Hamasaki's single "Zutto.../Last Minute/Walk" released in December 2014.^[3]
