Untitled

Best: First Things (stylized as Best ~first things~) is the first compilation album released by Japanese Pop singer Kumi Koda. It debuted at #1 on Oricon, giving her first number-one album, and became her longest charting album, staying on the charts for 124 weeks.[1] The album included all of her a-sides released since her debut in 2000 and became her highest selling album, selling nearly two million copies as of 2007.[citation needed]

The album was released in 2CD and 2CD+DVD with the limited editions containing the bonus track the meaning of peace from the Song Nation project on the second CD and a "special video mix" on the DVD.[2][3] The first press of the 2CD+DVD came with a slipcover and a deluxe booklet.[4]

Promotions

To help promote her album, on September 21, 2005, Koda Kumi held a special costume exhibition in Shibuya at Shibuya Station and an event where fans would try their best to replicate the dress Kumi wore on the cover of the album. During the event, fans were able enter a lottery for a chance to win a signed copy of Best ~first things~ or her first concert DVD secret ~FIRST CLASS LIMITED LIVE~.[5]

Background Narration

“I’m glad I didn’t give up . . . I could finally see a stage sparkling in the spotlight. . . Every single day felt like a dream." - Koda Kumi

Koda Kumi talks in KODA REKI how 2005 became her happiest year, where her songs continued to top the charts and she was invited to music shows. She says her happiest moments were when she knew people were listening to her songs. By being invited to the Japan Record Awards and Kōhaku Uta Gassen, being given several awards and performing on prestigious shows, she felt as though she was final able to repay the people who had been supporting her; namely, her parents.

2005 also gave boom to her ero-kawaii style and popularity. She said that, while she was proud to have the title, she was nervous of what her parents would think.

"When I saw my parents smiling happily, it was then, from the bottom of my heart, I was glad I stuck with my style." - Koda Kumi[6]
