Hotel (stylized as HOTEL) is the fifty-seventh single by Japanese artist Kumi Koda.[1] It was her first single release since 2013's Dreaming Now!. The A-side's music video was heavily inspired by Koda Kumi's time in Dubai.

The single contained two a-sides and one b-side. The a-sides were the title track and the song MONEY IN MY BAG, which the music video was only released on the "fan club" edition of the single. The b-side was the poppy ballad TURN AROUND. The single debuted in the top 5 on Oricon, but dropped in rank to take the #7 weekly position. [2]

Music video

HOTEL carried a duel theme of the hotel in the day and in the evening. MONEY IN MY BAG is a hip-hop-infused dance number centered at night.
