Background Narration

"The moment I first ran into Crazy 4 U, I felt: “This is the song that will symbolize Koda Kumi!!” . . . I started selecting songs personally." - Koda Kumi

This was the first song and video that Koda Kumi took the reigns to - from what she would wear, to the music and lyrics. She aimed for something that artists before her had never performed in mainstream music and wanted to provide entertainment that only she could. Koda Kumi talks in KODA REKI how, until this point in her career, she had enthusiasm, but no clear goal. She started to enjoy the fact that she was doing what she loved and it showed in her music.[1]
