In 1999, for celebrating the 30th anniversary of Inoue's career as a recording artist, a double compilation album entitled "Golden Best" was released. It debuted at the number-one on the Oricon and remained the chart for a year, with the sales of over a million copies. After a year from the album's release, a sequel entitled "Golden Bad" came out. And in 2003, when the album shipped more than 2 million units, an expanded edition called "Golden Best Super" was released.
