Nice. is the third North American album by J-pop group Puffy AmiYumi, released in 2003. (See 2003 in music). The US release featured a few track changes: "Atarashii hibi" and "Tomodachi" were replaced with "Urei", "Teen Titans Theme" and "Planet Tokyo", an English song with the melody of "Akai buranko".
The cover is an homage to John Lennon and Yoko Ono's "bed-In" peace protests held in 1969.
