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.

We’ll Be OKKōda Kumi58rank/position

Kumi Koda - “We’ll Be OK” (Official Music Video)

Kumi Koda’s 14th digital single, released on July 28, 2021.

It’s a mid-tempo, pop-leaning track, and since the vocal melody doesn’t span a very wide range, both the rhythm and melody are easy to catch, making it very accessible and singable.

The rhythm has a slight swing, so be careful not to let it become flat when you sing.

Also, aiming for a solid low-register vocal delivery, like Kumi Koda herself, will make it even better.

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.

A signature song by Kumi Koda, a leading artist in Japan’s music scene known for her emotionally charged, powerful vocals and performances that resonate with many listeners.

The lyrics reflect a state of mind searching for one’s place, and with its slow melody, it’s recommended as background music before going to sleep.

It was released in 2002 as Kumi Koda’s fifth single.

Koda Kumi “puff ~YouTube ver.~” (Official Music Video)

Kumi Koda’s 11th digital-only single, released in June 2020.

Koda is well known for her husky voice, so it goes without saying that this song is easy for lower-voiced women to sing.

In particular, the A-melody section, which has a slightly rap-like—almost spoken—delivery, contains many nuances that only a low female voice can truly bring out, making it a track where you can actively showcase your lower register.

The tempo is a very catchy medium-upbeat, so go ahead and nail it with style!
