Double (DOUBLEのアルバム)

『double』（ダブル）は、日本の女性歌手、DOUBLEの1枚目のオリジナル・アルバム（1st Album）。

 概要 
DOUBLEの1枚目のオリジナル・アルバム（1st Album）。

2002年4月24日にリリース。シングル『handle』、『U』、『Angel』を含む全12曲収録。

ゲストにはF.O.H（Full Of Harmony）が参加。

プロデューサーにはブライアン・アレクサンダー・ モーガン（Brian Alexander Morgan）、エドワード“エディ・F”ファレル（Edward "Eddie F" Ferrell）、ダレン・ライティ（Darren Lighty）、アンジェラ・ジョンソン（Angela Johnson）、ブラック・オパール（Black Opal）、ローランド・クラーク（Roland Clark）などが参加。

前作『Crystal』から約1年半ぶりとなるオリジナル・アルバム。楽曲制作やプロデュースなどは海外のプロデューサーに依頼、レコーディングもニューヨークで行った。2001年4月25日に『double ENG ver.』がリリースされているが、元々は『double ENG ver.』に収録されている英語版が原曲であり、TAKAKOにより日本語詞が加えらたり、メロディーを編曲したものが本作に収録されている。そのため楽曲によっては曲名や歌詞の内容が全く異なる。例えば「Angel」の歌詞は無償の愛をテーマとしているが、英語版の「Tell Me」の歌詞では不倫をテーマにした楽曲となっている。

12曲目の「Angel (Album Version)」の後、シークレット・トラックとしてF.O.Hが参加していない「Handle (DOUBLE Version)」が収録されている。12曲目に実質2曲が収録されているため、10分38秒の長さとなっている。

ソロ・プロジェクトではあるが、姉のSACHIKOが健在だった頃のユニット名を残し、姉の遺志を受け継ぐということを前面に出している。ブックレットの最後には「Sachiko, Thank you for helping me write the lyrics in my dream. No matter where you are, you are always in my heart. I love you forever」といったSACHIKOへのメッセージも記載されている。
