Nature Nurture is the second studio album by British alternative rock band Dinosaur Pile-Up. The album was released on 17 June 2013 and 25 February 2014 in the United Kingdom and the United States, respectively. The album failed to chart in either of those countries. However, the band's newfound popularity in Japan, along with the release of the Peninsula EP by A-Sketch months prior to the album's 22 October 2014 release, saw it chart at #168 in the country.[http://www.oricon.co.jp/prof/627607/ ダイナソー・パイルアップ | ORICON STYLE] (in Japanese; retrieved January 21, 2016) The single "Arizona Waiting" reached #68 on the Billboard Japan Radio Songs chart shortly after the album's release.[http://www.billboard-japan.com/charts/detail?a=radio_songs&year=2014&month=11&day=3 Billboard Japan Radio Songs] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160128082904/http://www.billboard-japan.com/charts/detail?a=radio_songs&year=2014&month=11&day=3 |date=2016-01-28 }} (in Japanese; retrieved January 21, 2016) A-Sketch also released two "Japan Limited" music videos, both consisting of live performance footage, for "Peninsula" and "Arizona Waiting."[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHz5EkUh5QE Dinosaur Pile-Up「Peninsula」(Japan Limited) - YouTube] (retrieved April 3, 2016)[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uDQ5rJAAoo Dinosaur Pile-Up「Arizona Waiting」Japan Limited - YouTube] (retrieved April 3, 2016)
