Kumi Koda / “Ai no Uta” (from the new album “WINTER of LOVE”)

Ai no Uta, Kumi Koda’s 37th single released in 2007, is a ballad that resonates with many listeners.

She even authored a diet book, conveying the appeal of her aggressively forward‑living style.

It’s one of her signature songs—a ballad that straightforwardly portrays romantic feelings from a woman’s perspective.

It was also used in a music.jp commercial and is very popular.

Koda Kumi / “Only You” (from the new album “WINTER of LOVE”)

Speaking of Koda Kumi, her energetic, upbeat songs are popular, but ballads like this one are also deeply moving, aren’t they? Even when your head knows, “This love is already over…,” your heart can’t quite sort itself out, and you end up wanting to see that person—something anyone who’s experienced heartbreak can relate to.

It’s a masterpiece that captures those helplessly sad, heartrending emotions.

koda kumi – Sayonara no Mukougawa

The low register is a challenging range for women, but Kumi Koda delivers a stable performance from low to high notes with her signature robust, full-bodied voice.

It’s an excellent cover song that preserves the song’s gentle atmosphere while showcasing Kumi Koda’s unique color.

Included on the 2010 release ETERNITY ~Love & Songs~.

Kumi Koda / Butterfly

Her vocals, which stay true to her own style, are empowering.

The uptempo rhythm lifts your spirits.

Song of DreamsKōda Kumi69rank/position

Kumi Koda / “Yume no Uta” (from the new album “WINTER of LOVE”)

This is Koda Kumi’s 33rd single, released in October 2006.

The song is basically composed to make the most of Kumi’s husky voice, so I think even those who struggle with high notes can fully enjoy singing it.

If there’s one potential sticking point, it would be the falsetto sections used for the highest notes in the chorus.

How smoothly you can switch from chest voice to falsetto will be the key to pulling this song off.

Falsetto used occasionally by women with husky voices sounds very sexy and appealing.

Definitely try to master it! If you want to delve into that part, I’ll be waiting for you in vocal training (lol).

This is a cover by Kumi Koda, one of Japan’s premier divas.

You might expect her to belt it out with fierce, sultry energy, but instead it’s arranged like a ballad, offering a jazz-like listening experience.

The natural coolness and range of her voice add depth to the cover.

It’s full of her trademark vitality and emotion—truly a cover that’s Kumi Koda through and through.
