Unlike a conventional best-of album, this special collection recreates the feel of a live concert. A proper audio receiver is certainly required for that full on Dolby ATMOS sound experience. Listeners can play the album on YouTube or purchase the home video package through these Japanese retailers.
This singer rose to fame after a few tracks have been selected to be used in anime and video games. The most recognised is “Real Emotion/1000 no Kotoba” in Final Fantasy X-2 and she also voiced the character of Lenne. She also provided a track for the 2004 Cutie Honey movie, and has also done appearances starring as herself. And with no surprise, the KODA KUMI 25th Anniversary Documentary will tell all.
From the Press Release:
This is truly an album made together with the fans: It features 28 songs selected by fan club members to commemorate Koda’s special 25th anniversary year, including the full version of the new song ‘UNICORN’ and the first CD release of ‘BLACK WINGS’.
In addition, the limited edition version available from mu-mo shop and to fan club members includes the latest collection in the popular remix series ‘Driving Hit’s 10’ as a third disc, allowing fans to enjoy Koda’s classic songs reborn with all-new arrangements.
The DVD and Blu-ray also feature a selection of live performances of songs from the best-of album, making for a cool live video collection. Koda’s most stunning live performances fill this extra-special set. Through smash after smash, ‘LIVE IN METAVERSE ~THE BEST~’ is a fresh chance to experience the unique presence of J-pop diva Kumi Koda. Don’t miss this front-row seat at Koda’s incredible hits concert of 2093!
