'Hands' (stylized as 'hands') is Japanese R&B-turned-pop star Koda Kumi's 14th domestic single. The single charted No. 7 and remained on the charts for eight weeks.
Information
'hands' is Japanese singer-songwriter Kumi Koda's fourteenth single. It charted low in the top ten at No. 7 on the Oricon charts and remained on the charts for two months.
The single became her third to be released as both CD and CD+DVD. It was the end theme of ANB's television program 'Uchimura Produce ( / Uchimura PURODYUUSI).' The b-side, 'Through the Sky,' was the end theme of Nippon TV's informational program 'The Sunday (THE)' through the month of January.
The music video released on the single differed from the music video released on the corresponding album, 'secret,' which contained an "album version" that held different scenes. The "single version" was, however, placed on her first compilation album, 'Best ~first things~.'
Music video
The music video for 'hands' carried a theme of a woman trying to cope with her depression brought on by being in the spotlight and having everyone focused on her.
An alternate version to the video was placed on the corresponding album, 'secret.' This would make it the first time she released an "alternate version" of a music video. The "album version" featured different scenes, but still kept the camera close for a more intimate feeling.
