Trick (stylized as TRICK) is the seventh studio album released by J-Urban singer Koda Kumi. The album continued her #1 streak and stayed on the Oricon charts for twenty-nine weeks.[1] It was released on January 28, 2009 and came in CD and CD+2DVD with the latter being a limited edition and the second DVD containing her LIVE DVD 「KODA KUMI SPECIAL LIVE “Dirty Ballroom” 〜One Night Show〜」. The limited editions of both versions carried the bonus track Venus, originally released by Shocking Blue in 1969.[2][3]

On the first DVD, there are six secret videos, which could be accessed by clicking on Koda Kumi's left eye on the menu screen. On the second DVD, there is also a secret video accessed by clicking on the clown's nose. A full version for the introduction on the album was later performed during her Live Tour 2009 ~TRICK~.[4]

Music Videos

Two new videos were made for the album: JUST THE WAY YOU ARE and show girl. There was also the "album version" of That Ain't Cool feat. Fergie, which carried more of a story compared to its single-released predecessor.

show girl carried a Moulin Rouge theme and JUST THE WAY YOU ARE was filmed in Nasu Highland Park in the Tochigi Prefecture on the island of Honshu.

Promotional Advertisements

show girl was used as the TV-CF for music.jp.[5]

Your Love was the promotional theme for Lixil Group's TOSTEM Group Home Finance.[6][7]

Venus was used to advertise Gillette's new Venus Breeze razor.[8]
