}}Light Ahead is Japanese pop musician Iconiq's first extended play, released on September 15, 2010.[1] The extended play features three songs from Change Myself, the lead single "Tokyo Lady," and three previously unpublished songs.[2] The DVD features three music videos directed by Diane Martel, as well as footage from Iconiq's debut Japanese concert in May, 2010. On the cover she is shown turning round with some kind of headdress made of animal fur.[2][3][4]

Background

The extended play is Iconiq's third physical release in Japan, after her debut album Change Myself in March 2010, and her first physical single "Tokyo Lady" a month prior. Change Myself saw moderate commercial success, debuting at #3 and eventually selling over 60,000 copies.[5][6] "Tokyo Lady" also saw some success, debuting in the top 20.[6]

Promotion

Much of the promotion of the EP centred on "Tokyo Lady," which was her fourth song used as the Shiseido Maquillage range commercial song, and the third commercial to feature Iconiq personally. The song was also used in a range of commercials for Recochoku, Weider and Jelly products and A-Nation 2010.[7] Iconiq performed at A-Nation concerts in early August, including being one of the featured musicians on the Tetsuya Komuro-written theme song for the event, "Thx a Lot".[8]

Three music videos were produced for the songs on the EP, including the video for "Tokyo Lady." The videos were all directed by veteran American music video director Diane Martel.[2][3][4] One of these songs, the title track "Light Ahead," was used in commercials for Maquillage in September.[9]
