"Lies" is an R&B song by Japanese singer Kumi Koda and is the fifth single in her 12 Singles Collection. The lyrics are written by her and the music is written and arranged by Yanagiman. The song is the ending theme of Asahi TV's show Adore na! GAREJJI (アドレな!ガレッジ).[1] It was also used in a commercial for music.jp.[2]
Like most of the singles in the 12 Single Collection, Lies is also limited to 50,000 copies. The single made its debut on Oricon at #7 and managed to take the #5 rank the following week.[3] With the song taking the debut of #7, Koda Kumi became the first artist to have three singles in the top 10 on Oricon at the same time (you was at #9 and Shake It Up was at #6).[4]
The love interest in the music video is played by actor Shogen Itokazu, who is best known for his role as young Gouken in Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist and his work in the 2015 Death Note TV series.[5]
Cover
As with the other 11 singles in this collection, the cover of the single represents a stylized version of a traditional dress from a culture; this time it draws its inspiration from China.
