Dead or alive hit and run lover
Fragile is the seventh and final album released by British band Dead or Alive in 2000. Like their album Fan the Flame (Part 1), this album has only seen a release in Japan from Japanese big independent record company Avex Trax, where the band is very popular. Containing a total of thirteen tracks, the album contains some new material as well as re-recordings and remixes of past hits. Also included is a remake of U2's "Even Better Than the Real Thing", which had previously appeared on a U2 tribute album. The album remained an exclusive in this territory until the worldwide release of the Sophisticated Boom Box MMXVI compilation box set in 2016.

In 2001 Dead or Alive released Unbreakable, a remix album containing still more versions of songs from Fragile.
Their first and only single from the album, "Hit and Run Lover", was an instant hit in Japan. It is considered to be Dead or Alive's last major hit in Japan, as it reached number 2 on the Japanese Oricon Chart.
