Information

[edit]

Koishikute is Japanese R&B-turned-pop singer Koda Kumi's fifty-fourth single under the Avex sub-label Rhythm Zone. Initially, the song was to be released in early December, but was pushed back and released later that month. The single peaked at No. 4 on the Oricon Daily charts and took No. 7 for the weekly ranking. It remained on the charts for six consecutive weeks.^[2]^[3]

The coupling track "Alone" was a cover of the song originally sung by Mayo Okamoto in 1996, making it the first time Koda Kumi has had a single with both a ballad for the a-side and the b-side since her release of "hands" in 2005.^[4] Alone was later released on her second cover album Color the Cover.

"Koishikute" was certified gold for 100,000 downloads in January 2014.^[5]

The single was released in three editions:

CD: contains two songs.
