Singer Kumi Koda will appear on the NHK music program "SONGS" (General TV, 10:00 pm) on January 23rd. This will be Koda's first appearance on the program, as she celebrates her 25th anniversary since her debut.
The program looks back on the journey of Koda, who is known as the epitome of "sexy and cool." She made her breakthrough with the theme song for the movie "Cutie Honey," and released a number of hits, including "Butterfly" and "Ai no Uta," but behind the scenes there were struggles and trials.
Through the testimony of three key people - a comrade who was with Koda during her early days and who was deeply involved in Koda's turning points, her benefactor who helped her create "Ero Kakkoii," and her family who continued to support her career as a singer - we get a glimpse into the unknown side of Koda.
The program also features the secret to maintaining her outstanding style and performance even at the age of 42. Program director Yo Oizumi explores Koda's unique method of maintaining her body.
In the studio performance, they will perform "Cutie Honey," "Butterfly," "Ai no Uta," and "Walk," a song that represents the bond with their fans.
