Information

Movies 3 is the third compilation DVD by the Japanese hip-hop group Lead, released on August 6, 2008 under the Pony Canyon sub-label Flight Master. The DVD reached #40 on the Oricon DVD charts, staying on the charts for two consecutive weeks.[1] It was their first compilation to not be released as both a DVD and VHS, only carrying a DVD release. This was due to the decline of the VHS market as the optical disc, namely the DVD, began taking on popularity.[2][3]

The DVD housed every music video the group had released from their debut song "Manatsu no Magic" (2002), to their then-most recent video "Sunnyday" (2008).[4] Their next compilation DVD, Movies 4, would not be released until eight years later in May 2015.[5]

The cover art was shot in the same location as their music video for "Sunnyday", which was primarily filmed in an empty swimming pool.[6] The group even donned the outfits worn in the shoot.
