Koda Kumi / again (4K Ver)

The song that supports my heart on nights so heartaching my mind feels restless is “again.” It was released in 2019 by Kumi Koda, a singer who has led the J-pop scene since the 2000s.

Its orthodox melody line pulses over an R&B-style tempo.

The lyrics—about finding yourself thinking of someone dear even after a breakup—will make your heart flutter.

Her powerful, radiant voice will soothe your soul.

If there’s someone you wish you could meet just once more, give it a listen.

Cutie HoneyKōda Kumi18rank/position

Kumi Koda / Cutie Honey

It’s not a heartfelt love song, but it’s a bright, upbeat track that could really liven up the atmosphere at the venue.

Everyone can join in on the “Honey Flash” part, or if the bride doesn’t usually have chances to sing in front of the groom, she could boldly use this song to show off her cuteness.

You want to connect with someone you care about, but you can’t… That poignant backstory comes through in this song.
