'''''ANSWER''''', released on February 25, 2009 is Angela Aki's 3rd Japanese studio album. It sold 74,068 copies in its first week, peaking at Number 1 on the Oricon charts. It includes a re-recording of [[We're All Alone]], a song that she had previously covered on [[One (Angela Aki)|One]]. This marks the second time Angela has re-recorded a song from that 2005 Indie album for inclusion on a major label release. It was released in two editions – the regular Cd edition, and a limited first-press only edition which includes a DVD.
