Fine Collection: Begin Again (stylized FINE COLLECTION 〜Begin Again〜) is the second Japanese greatest hits album by South Korean pop duo Tohoshinki. It was released on October 25, 2017 through Avex Trax as a complementary album for their comeback Japanese concert the Begin Again Tour, the duo's first tour since completing their military service. The album mainly contains singles released by Tohoshinki since 2011, including tracks from the albums Tone (2011), Time (2013), Tree (2014), and With (2015). The album also includes three re-recorded versions of earlier singles.

Begin Again was first announced by Avex Trax in August 2017 and was released in four physical versions: Version A, a CD+Blu-ray version which includes 23 music video clips; Version B, a CD+DVD version which also includes 23 music video clips; Version C, a CD-only version; and Version D, a fan club limited edition that includes exclusive footage from the concert.

The album was a commercial success, debuting at number one on the Billboard Japan Top Albums Chart and the Oricon Albums Chart, selling 130,000 copies on the first week of release.[1] In doing so, Tohoshinki became the foreign act with the most number one albums in Japan.[2] Begin Again has earned a gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for shipments of over 100,000 copies.[3]
