Currently celebrating the 25th anniversary of her debut, Japanese pop icon Kumi Koda released a new best-of album titled ‘LIVE IN METAVERSE ~THE BEST~.’
This unusual hits collection is based on the concept of a “future best-of concert” to be held on December 6, 2093. Unlike a conventional best-of album, this special collection recreates the feel of a live concert, immersing listeners in the venue’s vibe and the audience’s cheers.
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 the 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. This extra-special set is packed to bursting with Koda’s most stunning live performances.
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!
Koda also recently announced a series of 25th-anniversary arena concerts to the delight of her fans. Look out for further announcements each month throughout this special anniversary year.
