Music Life is the thirteenth studio album by Japanese pop rock band Glay, released on November 5, 2014. It reached #2 at the Oricon weekly charts,[1] #5 at their monthly chart for November,[2] and #58 at their 2014 Year-End Chart,[3] besides reaching #4 at the Billboard Japan Top Albums chart.[4]
The album was released in three different editions: one regular edition with the 11 new tracks, and two special editions, each coming with a second CD (Ballads Best☆Melodies or Ballads Best☆Memories) containing previously released ballads by the band. The tracklist of both compilations was decided by fans by voting.[5]
The cover art of the album was inspired by The Beatles' Revolver, and it was indeed designed by Klaus Voormann, Revolver's art cover artist.[5][6] Commenting on the cover, guitarist and main songwriter Takuro said:[5]

We have walked this 'music life' along with our fans for 20 years since our 1994 major debut. This time we were able to play out our secret dream with all of your help. Klaus Voorman, who has greatly influenced modern art, has created a splendid album cover for Glay’s 20th anniversary album, 'Music Life'. I will never forget how I felt when I saw the first draft. I promise that Glay will continue to work hard in the future. Thank you to Klaus and everybody involved.
The track "Hashire! Mirai" was used as the opening theme of the anime adaptation of Ace of Diamond.[7] The track "Sakurabito", composed by Takuro upon request by the Fukushima Hamakaido Sakura Project, was included as the ending track of both compilations.[5]
