Gentle Words is Japanese singer-songwriter
Background and release
Gentle Words is Japanese singer-songwriter
Due to the low chart ranking of the single and its predecessor, "Come with Me", Koda Kumi fell into a depression, feeling as though she was unable to create a song without a famous composer's help. However, she began to turn her frame of mind around, believing that when she finally made it, people wouldn't think she made it just because of a tie-in, but instead, because she was in the song. She then decided that she would continue and not let anything hold her back. Koda stated that "I vowed to myself to continue to run towards my dream."[5]
Usage in media
"Gentle Words" was used in the advertisement for SATO Healthcare's sinus gel Stona.[6][7]
