Introducing... Mari Hamada is the first international release of Japanese singer Mari Hamada, released on May 30, 1993 in Asia and January 24, 1994 in Europe. 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 With All My Heart on August 4, 1994.[1]

In Japan, selected songs from this album were released in Hamada's 1993 CD Anti-Heroine.

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