Information

BUT/Aishou is Kumi Koda's first single to bring in the era of Kingdom and charted #2 on Oricon. The single was of a limited release and was released the same day as her third compilation album, Best ~Bounce & Lovers~. One week later, an "analog version" was released, which contained the "Drum n' Bass" remix.[2] This was the only edition to carry the remix.

Kumi described the song BUT as having the overall message of embracing who you are and not being afraid to show the world the real you. The music video had many homosexual overtones and, due to this, she became a gay rights activist among fans.

BUT was used as the theme song to the Japanese editions of the film Step Up.[3] Aishou became the theme to the drama Ai no Rukeichi.[4]BUT is certified triple platinum as a ringtone and platinum as a digital download to cellphones by the RIAJ: 3x platinum for ringtone and platinum for cellphone.[5][6] Aishou is certified platinum for downloads, and the single is certified gold for 100,000 copies shipped to stores.[7][8]

Music video

The music video for BUT consisted of Kumi being chained to the ceiling by a pulley. She attempted to break free of the chain and celebrates when she does. Once free, she becomes more provocative and descends in an elevator to a new room. Throughout the video, there are hints of homosexuality, including Kumi in close proximity to another woman. The overall theme was breaking from societal norms and being who you are.

The music video for Aishou was set in Feudal-era Japan within a shiro. The overall theme was of the passion she held with another person.[9]

Reception

BUT/Aishou garnered mostly positive reviews among North American fans upon its release. BUT was described as being "catchy," "refreshing" and an overall nice dance track, also critiquing the "explicit" imagery in the music video. Aishou was praised for her use of vocals and fans enjoyed the imagery used in the music video.[10]

While doing well in Japan, some fans critiqued the song for its overuse of auto-tune, claiming it made Koda Kumi sound "robotic."[11]
