Black Cherry is Kumi Koda's fifth studio album and first original album since secret (2005). It charted at #1 on Oricon, continuing the artist's streak, stayed at the ranking for one month and remained on the charts for sixty weeks.^[1] It was released in CD, CD+DVD and CD+2DVD with the latter being a limited edition that carried her movie debut Cherry Girl.^[2] The entire film's score was from the album.^[3]

Cherry Girl (film) was produced by the same team who created the drama ブスの瞳に恋してる (Busu no Hitomi ni Koishiteru / In Love with the Eyes of an Ugly Girl), which Koda Kumi had performed the theme, Koi no Tsubomi (2006). ミルクティー (Miruku Tii / Milk Tea) was the first time Koda Kumi wrote and composed a song that was featured on an album. The "Introduction" on the album was given a full version, Black Cherry, on her 2008 album, Kingdom.

First Press editions of the album (all editions) carried three bonus tracks: the "English Version" of Twinkle feat. Show Luo (the original "Japanese Version" was on the Amazing Nuts! soundtrack), the 2006 theme for the Crayon Shin-chan film GO WAY!!, and the "Red Cherry Version" of WON'T BE LONG (originally with Koda Kumi and EXILE).^[4]^[5] It also contained an access code to Koda Kumi's playroom, a chance to win album goods and the "Premium Making" of the music videos on the DVD.

Promotional Advertisements

Get Up & Move!! was used for Suzuki Chevrolet commercial.^[6] A music video to this song was later released on her third compilation album, BEST ~BOUNCE & LOVERS~.

Tsuki to Taiyou was used to advertise jewellery store GemCerey.^[7]

Puppy was used for KOSE's Rush Escalation under their Viseé line.^[8]

Candle Light was used to advertise Morinaga's Weider protein bar.^[9]

GO WAY!! was used as the ending theme song for the 2006 Crayon Shin-chan film.^[10]
