Perfect Crime is the second studio album by Japanese recording artist Mai Kuraki. It was released on July 4, 2001.

Background

Kuraki stated that despite being completely absorbed in the production of her first album, Delicious Way, when compared to Perfect Crime, the latter felt like it had been created with more diligence and character that listening to it was similar to watching a film.

Chart performance

Perfect Crime debuted at number-one with 800,210 copies sold making it Kuraki's second number-one debut.[1] The album stayed on the Oricon albums chart for a total of 17 weeks, of which the album spent 6 in the top 10, non-consecutively.[2] Perfect Crime was the 12th best selling album of 2001.[3]
