Secret (Koda Kumi album)

Secret is the fourth studio album by Japanese R&B-pop singer Koda Kumi, released on February 8, 2006. It was a significant commercial success, reaching number one on the Oricon Weekly Albums Chart and remaining on the charts for a considerable period.

The album features a mix of R&B, pop, and dance-oriented tracks, showcasing Koda Kumi's versatility as a vocalist and performer. Several tracks from Secret were used as tie-in songs for various commercials, dramas, and films, further boosting its popularity.

Secret is notable for solidifying Koda Kumi's "ero-kawaii" (erotic-cute) image, a style that combined elements of sensuality and cuteness, which became a defining characteristic of her public persona and musical releases during this period of her career. The album helped to establish her as one of the leading female artists in the Japanese music industry.
