25th The Best – Alive is the fifth greatest hits album by Japanese-American singer-songwriter Ai, scheduled for release on February 26, 2025, via EMI Records.

Background

Ai released her thirteenth studio album Respect All on August 23, 2023. After completing her tour of the same name, she released the promotional single "Whatever".[1] In 2024, Ai was featured on a series of albums, including Ringo Sheena's Carnival and Mori Calliope's Phantomime. In July, she released "Untitled" featuring Pushim and Dabo, a mashup of Ai's song "Whatever" and the remix version of Pushim's "I Wanna Know You" featuring Dabo.[2] In November, Ai made a series of posts regarding her 25th anniversary of her debut on social media.[3]

Release and promotion

On November 2, 2024, Universal Music Japan launched a website for Ai's 25th anniversary with the message "We are Alive!!!". On November 29, the website was updated, unveiling the Alive Tour, which will begin in May 2025.[4] Alongside the tour announcement, Ai shared on social media she would be releasing a greatest hits album, 25th The Best – Alive.[5][6] Universal Japan announced limited copies of "Story" and "Happiness" on 7-inch single vinyls, which will be released the same day as 25th The Best – Alive.[7][8]

Various editions of the album were announced with limited first press goods. The standard edition features 17 tracks while the deluxe version includes 33 tracks split on two discs. A limited three disc version of the album includes live footage from Ai's Respect All Tour alongside tracks from the deluxe version.[9]
