Oricon's product listing gives GUILTY a highest position of number two and records 17 weeks on the chart. I would therefore avoid describing it as a number-one debut. [Oricon listing](https://www.oricon.co.jp/prof/246497/products/743880/1/)

What is distinctive about the sound of GUILTY?

The album leans into programmed beats, synthesizers, dramatic vocal layering, and dance-pop arrangements rather than a purely acoustic pop sound. Songs such as 'talkin' 2 myself' and 'glitter' show the energetic side, while 'Together When...' provides a more reflective contrast.
