Someday/Boys & Girls (stylized as Someday/Boys♥Girls) is the final single of Koda Kumi's 12 Single Collection and overall thirtieth single. Unlike the majority of singles in the collection, this single is not limited to 50,000 copies. The single charted at #3 on Oricon and charted for nine weeks.[1] The a-side, Someday, was used as the theme song for the third season of Shin Kyoto Meikyuu Annai (新・京都迷宮案内 / The New Guide to the Labyrinth of Kyoto).[2] The song is the last song in the storyline of the PVs, which brings the stories from Candy feat. Mr. Blistah, you, feel and Lies to a close.
"Boys♥Girls" was used as the theme for the 2006 movie called "Waters" (known in Japan as ウォーターズ)[3] - a romantic comedy that revolves around the story of Japanese men working at a host club. The movie features actors Shun Oguri, Toshinobu Matsuo, Takamasa Suga, Shingo Katsurayama, Yusuke Kirishima, Hiroyuki Hirayama, Ryoji Morimoto, Hitomi Manaka, Riko Narumi and Yoshio Harada.
