Details about the album
With Almost Seventeen the artist Crystal Kay had her first big breakthrough, unexpectedly the album shot to number 2 on the Oricon Weekly Charts and sold up to 350,000 times in Japan. On the same day she also released the single Girl U Love , which was supposed to advertise the album, but it was unsuccessful. There were two versions of the album, the first edition came at a cheaper price of ¥ 2520 (about € 26), the second edition, which was released on January 8, 2003, came with a standard price of ¥ 2940 (about € 30.50), which is quite cheap compared to other Japanese albums, as these are often offered for more than 3000 ¥ (about 31 €).
The album itself has a teenage theme and the title of the album came about because she was almost 17 years old. It is also to this day, in terms of sales, Kay's most successful record. In terms of charts, she only made it to the top of the Oricon charts in 2007 with All Yours .
