4 Hot Wave

"4 Hot Wave" (stylized as "4 hot wave") is Japanese star Koda Kumi's 32nd single under the Rhythm Zone label. It charted at #2 on Oricon and stayed on the charts for seventeen weeks.^[1] The sales for the single became her highest selling single, even surpassing the total sales of real Emotion/1000 no Kotoba in less than three weeks.^[2] It became her highest debut single and reclaimed the title of Highest Debut Sales Female Artists, taking it back from Ayumi Hamasaki's BLUE BIRD, which had originally taken the title from Koda Kumi's previous single Koi no Tsubomi.^[3]

The single was Koda Kumi's first quadruple A-side with each song's music video tying together into one story. The single's artwork was shot in Morocco while Kumi was in the country shooting for her new photo-book MAROC.^[4] The videos for With your smile and I'll be there were shot in Australia, with I'll be there shot on Fraser Island.

"Ningyo-hime" was certified gold for full-length cellphone downloads.
