This campaign back in 2006 was definitely iconic. Some of the songs were better than the others and you can’t release single covers like this today due to accusations of cultural appropriation. However, I’ve seen image in #7th single used in tourist spots as advertisement when traveling in Malaysia, showing how iconic these covers were. Koda saw some setback after this release due to her “pregnancy” comment (I seriously don’t think it was a big deal) but this is def. a series of songs that will remain in J-pop history.

God this roll out was huge! *Best ~first things~* really blew up for her but this set of singles/album really cemented her iconic status. She had multiple singles in the top 10, and always out promoting on *Music Station* & such.
I still love and enjoy listening to “DDD” and “Ima Sugu Hoshii” often. I think *4 Hot Wave* is my favorite single from her.
