Upon its release, the album peaked at number 17 on the Oricon Japanese Albums chart, staying on the chart for a total of 12 weeks.

Development and release

[edit | edit source]

After building a following from posting covers on his YouTube channel in December 2010,[2] he began receiving offers from record labels, most notably from Kara DioGuardi, who wanted to sign him to Warner Bros. Records.[3] Ultimately, on August 28, 2012, Mahone signed to both Chase Records and Republic Records.[4]

The songs are produced by DJ Frank E, Mike Fresh, Trent Mazur, Bei Maejor, Austin Mahone, Bruce Robinson, Steve Mac, Matt Mahaffey.[5] The extended play was released only in Japan from Chase and Republic to promote his songs in the country.[6] The deluxe version backpack the first three video clips of Mahone, plus a short documentary with a message for his Japanese fans.[7] The song "Loving You Is Easy" was featured as the theme song for Japanese TV series Mezamashi in April 2013.[8] Mahone travelled to Japan in June 2013, to promote the EP's release.[9] There, he announced a three-date Japan tour for November 2013.[10]
