"Freaky" (stylized as FREAKY) is the 36th single by Japanese singer Koda Kumi, released on June 27, 2007. The single took the #1 spot on the Oricon charts, making it her fourth #1 single, and charted for fifteen weeks. [1]
"Freaky" is Japanese R&B-turned- pop star Kumi Koda's thirty-sixth single under the Avex sub-label Rhythm Zone. It charted #1 on the Oricon Singles Charts, making it her fourth to do - the others being you, feel and Yume no Uta/futari de.... It remained on the charts for fifteen weeks with over 250,000 shipped. "Freaky," the title track, was certified platinum for downloads by RIAJ. [2] [3]
The single came in CD and CD+DVD, with limited editions for both. The limited editions contained a fold-out promotional poster. The CD+DVD version harbored instrumentals for the four tracks on the single, while the CD only carried remixes. [4]
While the song contained four separate tracks, it was only listed as a double a-side, due to "Sora" and "girls" not having corresponding music videos and being listed as b-sides. On the corresponding album for the single, Kingdom; however, "Run For Your Life" was omitted from the CD portion.
Initially, "Run For Your Life" was not going to be on the single and, instead, would have been the song " anytime," which was released as a single seven months later. This is most apparent in the music video, whereas both "Run For Your Life" and "anytime" were filmed at the same location in California. A reason for the switch was never released, though fans speculated it was to give Kumi a ballad to be released during the winter months, whereas Ai no Uta was released in early Autumn. [5]
"Freaky" was used as the song to advertise Honda's Honda ZEST SPORTS vehicle. [6]
"Sora" (空 / Sky) was used as the television advertisement for Toshiba's mobile fanfun SoftBank 815T. [7] [8]
"Run For Your Life" was used to advertise makeup company KOSE's new Visee line. [9]
"girls" was used as the theme song for Koda Kumi's new pachinko game SANKYO FEVER LIVE IN HALL. [10]
Freaky was released in four editions, two regular editions and two first press editions:
First Press editions of both the CD and CD+DVD versions contained a foldout promotional poster.
