music styles:
In addition to recording most of their albums and singles in Japan, GLAY frequently travels overseas to places such as Los Angeles, New York and London to produce their music. In 2001 they released the New York produced album "ONE LOVE" which shocked long time GLAY fans, as the sound of "ONE LOVE" was completely different from that found on earlier albums. The style change was warmly welcomed by fans, and GLAY went on to hold a very successful "ONE LOVE" concert tour. The following year, "UNITY ROOTS & FAMILY, AWAY" (UR&FA) was released which was something entirely different from "ONE LOVE" and all their previous works. "UR&FA" presented GLAY fans with a strong gospel sound in many of its tracks.
Following the release of "UR&FA", in February 2003 GLAY released two compilation albums composed mostly of B-side tracks from their singles that hadn’t yet been put onto an album. It was not until 2004 that they released a brand new album entitled "THE FRUSTRATED". This album was a huge success, and spawned a documentary DVD about the "making of", a special fanclub members only concert tour, the theme of GLAY EXPO 2004, and a fall concert tour that travelled across the country. In 2005, GLAY took their new sound to yet another level, and produced a collaboration single with the vocal/dance group EXILE which was one of the most successful singles of the year.
