Pearl Moon

This song is included on Koda Kumi’s second album, “grow into one,” released in 2003.

Among her many hits, “Pearl Moon” may not be as well-known, but it’s an exceptionally easy ballad to sing.

Its vocal range is narrow, and you can comfortably sing it in a low register from start to finish, making it a great karaoke choice if you’re looking for a song you can carry through in a lower key.

A love ballad filled with feelings for someone special—try performing it when the moment really counts!

Venus

Many people may recognize this melody from a P&G women’s shaver commercial that aired in living rooms across the country.

This bold cover by Kumi Koda reimagines the classic hit made famous by the Dutch band Shocking Blue in 1969.

Blending the rock edge of the original with her signature sultry vocals, it becomes an exhilarating dance-rock number.

Included as a bonus track on the album “TRICK,” released in January 2009, it was a delightful surprise for fans.

The catchy chorus, sung in English as in the original, leaves an unforgettable impression after just one listen.

It’s perfect as background music for a drive or whenever you want to lift your spirits—a powerful track that will give you energy.
