Walk of My Life (stylized as WALK OF MY LIFE) is the twelfth studio album by Kumi Koda. It was released on March 18, 2015, merely a year after her Bon Voyage.^[1] This became her first album to have only two preluding singles: HOTEL and Dance In The Rain. Fever: Legend Live was not considered a single and the three a-sides from the EP were omitted from the album.

The album debuted at #1 on Oricon, continuing Kumi's streak of chart-topping albums, which began with her 2005 album Best ~first things~.^[2] WALK OF MY LIFE stayed on the charts for fourteen consecutive weeks.^[3][4]

On an interview for MTV Japan, Koda Kumi described the theme of the album as "not how a person thought, but how they live."^[5] The music video for WALK OF MY LIFE introduced a new technique called 4D view. Forty-eight different shots were combined with 3D animation for the dance in the sky, which was to show the story of how her strength has grown.^[6]
