Koda Kumi (or KODA) proved her skills when she released TAKE BACK back in 2000. Now being one of the top reigning divas in Japan, it's funn to see where she began. Everyone always wants her to come to America, but most forget that she had been here back in 2000 and 2001 (Trust Your Love was also released for U.S markets).TAKE BACK is one song that has never gotten old - 12 years and it can still be listened to as though it came out today. The dance mixes on this CD flow together amazingly and, whenever you put them on, it's difficult not to dance. My personal favourite has and always will be the C. "Tricky" Stewart Remix. Koochan's talent was shown at such a young age and she's able to sing just about any genre, so it's fun to go back to her roots with R&B and the mixes that followed it. Even before she found her ero-kakkoi (sexy-cute) image, she still loved to sing and that passion will always show.Fan or not, this CD has some sick dance tracks!
