"Kiseki" (奇跡 / Miracle) is the thirteenth domestic single by Japanese singer-songwriter Koda Kumi. It was released on September 8, 2004, as the third single from her fourth studio album Secret (2005). The song reached No. 7 on Oricon and stayed on the charts for ten weeks.[1]

Information

"Kiseki" peaked in the top ten on Oricon, coming in at No. 7, and remained on the charts for ten weeks. The single became Koda's second single to be released in both CD and CD+DVD formats, her first being Love & Honey. The CD only version was of limited release, while the CD+DVD edition received a wider release through various retailers.[2][3]

Koda helped write the lyrics to both "Kiseki" and "life". "Love Holic" became the first song for which Koda herself wrote the full lyrics, not collaborating with another lyricist. The title track was a power ballad, with the accompanying b-sides being upbeat pop songs.
