The single was released as a digital single on July 3, 2019.

Information

[edit]

"Eh Yo" is the sixty-third single released by Japanese singer-songwriter Koda Kumi on July 3, 2019. It was officially announced on June 17, 2019, having debuted on June 15 with a performance at Tennōji Park.[21] The single became her first in nearly two years, with her prior being Never Enough in December 2017.[22]

Due to having no physical release, the song did not chart on the Oricon Singles Chart. However, the song was given a five star ranking on the popular digital music store RecoChoku.[23] The single was released as a digital download, and distributed among sites like RecoChoku, iTunes[24] and Amazon Music.[25]

The song was written and composed by Kumi's husband, Back-On lead vocalist Kenji, who is credited at "Hi-yunk". The lyrical portion was written by Kumi herself.[26]

To help promote the song, "Eh Yo" was used as the Hanazono support song of the 2019 Rugby World Cup.[27]

Cover art

[edit]

The single's cover art was inspired by her 2019 concert tour Live Tour 2019 ～re(LIVE)～, which held a dual concept from her Black Cherry and Japonesque concert tours.[28][29]

Music videos

[edit]

While two of the corresponding singles had their music videos placed on the first DVD/Blu-ray, there were two that were not added: "Strip" and "Get Naked".

"Strip" featured Koda Kumi in the stylized kimono she wore during promoting and the tour for Live Tour 2019 re(LIVE), which carried a dual concept from her Black Cherry (2006) and Japonesque (2012) studio albums. Other scenes included her in a glass box, donning a dress similar to the one she wore during her introductory performance for Live Tour 2007 ~Black Cherry~. "Get Naked" was filmed on the same set the album covers were shot. In the video, Kumi is shown entangled in the cords, symbolizing being a "slave to music". She is also shown carrying a blacklight, which is typically used to find substances that cannot be seen by the naked eye. A preview of the video was uploaded to Avex's official YouTube.[30]

The music video for "k," is an upbeat dance number. Kumi said the dance was based on her workout routine, which typically includes yoga and light strength training. In the video, Kumi and her dancers wear bright colors (lime green and orange in one segment and pink and yellow in the other) while performing the dance with similarly colored backdrops. Other scenes include Kumi donning braids with balloons tying off the ends, lifting her hair. The style gained coverage on various sites, becoming known as "colorful balloon hair". The style received predominantly positive comments, though some were questioning the young style on the seasoned artist.[31][32][33] The video was uploaded on her official YouTube a week prior to the album's release on November 5 to assist promotion.[34] An alternate dance version was also released on the album, which omitted the scenes of her "balloon hair" and only focused on the dances between the two sets.

For "Again", Kumi revisited past styles, taking from two of her most popular winter-time ballads, "Ai no Uta" (2007) and "You" (2005). The teardrop crystals and a similar dress from "Ai no Uta" were used, as was walking in the snow wearing a knit cap and large shawl from "You". The message, overall, was to grow with the past, instead of from it. The music video was uploaded on the official YouTube on October 29, 2019.[35]

The videos for "Goldfinger 2019" and "Livin' La Vida Loca" were predominantly the same. On July 20, 2019, Koda Kumi released the cover of Ricky Martin's hit "Livin' la Vida Loca" via Avex's official YouTube.[36] Three weeks later on August 13, she released "Goldfinger 2019", which was the Japanese remake."[37] Both videos were nearly identical, with only slight changes. Both videos open with Kumi spinning down onto the stage via a cloth rope while donning bright, translucent yellow garb. As the song picks up, people begin to dance on the dance floor as various signs light up. During the chorus, both Kumi and the dancers perform the same choreography. An alternate version of Kumi is approached by a Caucasian male. After he treats her to a night out, she leaves him, watching on in satisfaction as he tries and fails to find her. It then breaks to an aggressive beat where Kumi and the dancers perform a modern hip-hop dance. This portion of the video was performed in black and white. When it picks up to the prior set, the dancers, including Kumi, are shown dancing in the rain. The video ends with Kumi performing the tango with another dancer as the credits roll.
