It was considered one of the best albums from 1989 to 1998 in an edition of the magazine Band Yarouze.[1] The album's singles are "Super Soul", "Sleeper", ending theme of Sunday Jungle television show, and "One -You are the One-", which was theme song for Unbeliveable.[2] In 2019, Tsutomu Ishizuki, Kazuya and Shun reunited as a sub-unit of the band, called Fantastic Circus. All singles from One -one for all- were included on the re-recording and greatest hits album Tenseism released by the trio in March 2023. Additionally, a new music video for "One -You are the One-" was released in February 2023.[3]
Background and release edit
Fanatic Crisis's popularity began to grow in 1996, when the single "Tsuki no Hana" was distributed by a major label. After another single, this time distributed by Mercury, they got a definitive contract with For Life Records in 1997. "Super Soul" was released in August as their first work produced by a major label. It was followed by "Sleeper" in October and "One -you are the one-" in January. After One -one for all- was released in March, the band started the 1998 Naked Tour.[4]
Critical reception edit
CD Journal praised the uplifting atmosphere of the album and stated that "hard and flashy songs are conspicuous throughout".[5]
Commercial performance edit
One -one for all- peaked at 5th position on Oricon Albums Chart, staying on chart for seven weeks and selling an estimated 119,360 copies.[6] It is Fanatic Crisis's highest-charting album, despite being the second best-selling album, behind The.Lost.Innocent.[7][2]
Both "Super Soul" and "Sleeper" reached 23th position on Oricon Singles Chart and "One -you are the one-" reached 14th position, becoming the band's third best-selling single.[8]
