Information

Best ~second session~ is the second compilation album by Japanese artist Koda Kumi. It became her second album to chart at #1 on Oricon and became her second longest-charting album. It contained every song from her 12 Singles Collection, causing there to be little room for new material. The two new songs on the album were Love goes like... and the bonus track A Whole New World featuring famed singer Peabo Bryson. This was a cover of the song from the Disney film Aladdin.[2]

The first DVD portion of the album carried all of the music videos released for the singles. Limited editions also included the ...and "Wish your happiness and love", which was the story line music videos of Candy feat. Mr. Blistah, you, feel, Lies and Someday strung together in order.[3]

The special CD+2DVD editions contained the first leg to Kumi's Live Tour 2005 ~first things~.[4] The concert DVD for her Best ~first things~ album would later be released in September 2006.[5]

Within the first week, Best ~Second Session~ sold nearly a million copies, bringing in a total of 983,353, making it her highest first-week sales, and has since sold over two million.[6] It stayed #1 on the charts the following week, making it her first album to stay at the spot for two consecutive weeks.[7]

The album became the second highest selling album in Japan and the highest selling for a female artist in 2006.

According to IFPI the album was the forty-first best-selling album worldwide in 2006.[8]

Best ~Second Session~ came in three editions:

The limited editions of all editions contained the bonus track A Whole New World, which Kumi performed with singer Peabo Bryson.

Special Single: Get It On

Get It On
Released: February 28, 2006
Format: Digital Single
Genre: R&B

Get it On (stylized as Get It On) is Kumi Koda's special limited single released as a digital download through mu-mo to those who purchased all twelve singles in her 12 Singles Collection.[10] The song was released as a "short version" on her Best ~Second Session~ album.[11]

Information

Get It On was released as a special, limited "00" single in her 12 Singles Collection to those who purchased all of the singles. After the released of Someday/Boys & Girls, on February 28, 2006, buyers were presented a code, which they would type into mu-mo to be taken to a separate page to download the song. This was used in a similar way for fans to download Kumi's first remix album, Koda Kumi Remix Album, which was also released to those who had purchased all twelve singles from the collection.[12]

Get It On was given its own album artwork and promotional artwork, despite being only a digital release.[13] On March 1, 2006, mu-mo released a fifteen-second commercial for the song, encouraging those who had the code to download the song prior to it being removed from the market.[14]

The song would later be placed on her compilation album Out Works & Collaboration Best as track #1, which was released three years later on March 25, 2009.[15]

Cover

Keeping inline with the twelve singles' theme of a different culture on each cover, Get It On carried a Southeast Asian theme, most notably from Indonesia and the style of the belly dancers.[16][17]
