Nothing from Nothing was the first mini-album recorded by Ayumi Hamasaki, featuring Dohzi-T and DJ Bass and released on December 1, 1995.[1] After the album failed to chart, her talent agency and record label, Nippon Columbia, dropped her. Due to her subsequent success, it is generally considered a collector's item. Since her first album under Avex Trax, A Song for ×× (1999), topped the Oricon charts, previously-sold copies of Nothing from Nothing have become sought-after items within her fan base. Musically, Nothing from Nothing is a hip hop album that features Hamasaki rapping on all of the tracks, except "Limit".
