[Machine Translation] The documentary program "Jounetsu Tairiku", which closely interviews and introduces people who are active in various fields, is releasing its second DVD series! Kumi Koda is an artist who boasts a huge following and overwhelming presence with her solid singing ability and performances. In 2005, her style was called "erotic cool" and she was nominated for a "Trendy Word of the Year" award. --Kumi Koda is an artist who has built a huge following and popularity with her unique style. Her creed is to keep challenging herself to do what no one has done before. All of the performances and productions that she shows on her national tour are all her own ideas. With her highly acclaimed singing ability as her weapon, she creates entertainment that amazes audiences. The source of her power comes from her family, friendship, and love. The realistic "feelings" of falling in love and creating lyrics from that experience have made her songs resonate with the hearts of women of her generation. However, for a while after her debut, she was not selling well. Just when she was thinking of quitting, a turning point came. In this program, we will follow Kumi Koda as she continues to create new works one after another, looking back on her days of hardship, and analyze the secret of her appeal by depicting the present and the future of this modern diva.
