Style is the sixth studio album by Japanese recording artist Namie Amuro. It was released on Wednesday, December 10, 2003, through Avex Trax. Her first studio album in nearly three years, Style follows her crossover into R&B and hip hop that began with the collaborative project Suite Chic in 2002. Although Amuro had dabbled with R&B beats in the past, this is her first original studio album to predominantly feature the actual genre. Style was her first album after the termination of her working relationship with longtime producer, Tetsuya Komuro, as well as her last collaboration with American record producer Dallas Austin to date.

Commercially, Style was a disappointment. It debuted at number four on the Oricon Albums Chart with first week sales of over 93,000 copies, the lowest of Amuro's career and her first not to sell over 100,000 during its first week. Despite being the lowest-selling album of her career, it was still certified Platinum for shipments of over 250,000 copies by the RIAJ.[1] The album spawned four top ten singles, "Wishing on the Same Star", "Shine More", "Put 'Em Up" and "So Crazy/Come". Amuro promoted Style by embarking on her first international concert tour titled the So Crazy Tour.
