}}Coquillage: The Best Collection II (stylised as Coquillage~The Best Collection II~) is Kokia's second greatest hits album, released on December 2, 2009.[1]

Background

The album features material from her first album released under Anco&co management, Listen for the Love, in 2006, up to her digital single {{nihongo|"Kimi o Sagashite/Last Love Song"|君をさがして/last love song|Searching for You}}, released in August 2009. It follows her first greatest hits album, The Best Collection, by four years.

The album was released after two of Kokia's "Life Trilogy" digital singles, {{nihongo|"Kimi o Sagashite/Last Love Song"|君をさがして/last love song|I Search for You}} in August 2009, and {{nihongo|"Single Mother/Christmas no Hibiki"|single mother/クリスマスの響き|Echo of Christmas}} in November 2009.[2][3] None of the billed A-sides on these singles feature on the album (these were indended for Kokia's 11th studio album, Real World, in 2010), however one of the B-sides made it onto the album, Kokia's cover of Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" from "Kimi o Sagashite/Last Love Song."

Conception

Kokia selected songs for the album with the concept of songs that can "cleaning your heart."[4] She decided the title would be the French word for shell, coquillage, for several reasons. Firstly, it is a pun on her name ('coquillage' sounding like 'Kokia')[5] Secondly, it is thematically related to her first greatest hits album, The Best Collection, since pearls are formed within mollusc shells.[5] Kokia chose the album art to feature Sandro Botticelli's 1486 painting The Birth of Venus due to Venus due to the shell Venus stands on.[5]

|filename2=Kokia - Arigato (Coquillage).ogg|title2="Arigatō... (The Coquillage Edition)"|description2=The Coquillage version of "Arigatō..." was performed with only guitar backing.|format2=Ogg}}

Kokia chose at least one song from every original album release to feature on the album, along with four rarities/B-sides and two new recordings. "Atatakai Basho" and "Nukumori (Aigakikoeru)" are originally from Listen for the Love (2006), however the strings version was a special version recorded for Kokia's film Ojiisan no Tulip and released on her 2008 digital download EP rarities EP Love Tears.[6] "Ave Maria," "Chiisa na Uta" and "Everlasting" are from The Voice (2008). "Say Goodbye & Good Day," which appeared as the B-side to the lead single from The Voice, "Follow the Nightingale," and as a bonus track on the French version of the album also features on Coquillage. "Song of Pocchong (Shizuku no Uta)" was sourced from Kokia Meets Ireland (2008), and "Kokoro no Rōsoku" from Christmas Gift (2008). Two songs each from Kokia's 2009 albums were picked: "Dōke" and "Kono Mune no Kurushimi ga Itooshii Hodo ni Ikite" from Balance, and the acoustic version of "Infinity" from Balance, along with "Sekai no Owari ni."

"Candle in the Heart," the English version of "Kokoro no Rōsoku," was originally from Kokia's free release EP given out on the street of New York in 2008.[7] "What a Wonderful World" came from Kokia's digital single "Kimi o Sagashite/Last Love Song" in August 2009.[2]

Of the new recordings, "Inori" is a self-cover of the song "Inori" that Kokia wrote/produced for Ayahi Takagaki comes across Feldt Grace, a character single for Mobile Suit Gundam 00.[7][8] "Arigatō..." (originally released as a single in 1999 and re-recorded three times previously) is a new acoustic guitar version of the song.[5]

Promotion

In December after the album's release, Kokia held a six date tour in Japan, {{nihongo|Jū Ni Gatsu no Okurimono|12月の贈り物|December Present}}.[9]

Reception

The album charted for two days in Oricon's top 50 daily singles chart, as #27 and #48, before dropping off completely.[15] In the first week, the album reached #73 and sold 2,100 copies, significantly lower than Kokia's original albums released under Anco&co.[15] The album charted for a single more week at #250, selling a total of 2,700 copies.[15]
