Thank You is an album released by Japanese pop duo Puffy AmiYumi in 2011.
The album contains tracks from singles 'R.G.W' and 'Happy Birthday'. It was released in both regular and limited editions, the latter which contains a listing of the most current line of Puffy's music videos, starting form 'Hajimari no Uta' (2005).
The title should not be confused with the song of the same name released in the album 'Nice' in 2003.
The tracks contain more songs written by both Ami and Yumi (Ami wrote six, while Yumi wrote four, and both wrote on one), several of which have featured as commercial / theme songs to certain shows.
The limited edition of the album comes in a gold-frame style slipcase that can be stood up on its own, and can fit a photograph of similar size.
None of the songs in the album are sung inn English, compared to the last release 'Bring it!', which contained numerous songs in English.
