Introducing... Mari Hamada is the first international release by Japanese singer/songwriter Mari Hamada, released on May 30, 1993, in Asia and January 24, 1994, in Europe by MCA Records. The album was co-produced by Marc Tanner, best known for producing Nelson's debut album After the Rain. Some of the English songs are reworked versions of Hamada's hit singles from previous Japanese releases. Both releases differ wherein the Asian release contains English and Japanese songs, while the European release is all-English. The additional English songs on the European version were compiled in a second Asian release titled All My Heart on August 4, 1994.[1][2]

In Japan, selected songs from this album were released in Hamada's 1993 CD Anti-Heroine and the 2003 compilation Inclination II.[3][4]

To promote the album, music videos were made for the songs "Hold On (One More Time)" and "I Have a Story to Tell".
