There are at least two artists named Koda/倖田來未/Koda Kumi.
1) 倖田來未 (Koda Kumi)(Kumiko Kōda (神田 來未子), born November 13, 1982, is a famous female Japanese solo R&B and pop singer. She is the older sister of singer misono. She dreamed of becoming a singer ever since she was in elementary school. She auditioned alongside 後藤真希 for the 3rd generation of モーニング娘。 when she was seventeen, but didn’t make it. Coincidentally, Goto would join Avex Trax years later. She was noticed by Avex Trax, however, and was signed and began releasing pop music with an urban feel.
Koda officially debuted with the single TAKE BACK in December 2000 and later in May 2001, her second single, Trust Your Love, charting at #59 and #18 respectively. After two more singles, COLOR OF SOUL and So Into You, she released her first studio album affection in 2002, which charted at #12.
Despite her charting failures, 倖田來未 remained positive and released her fifth single, love across the ocean debuting at #19. This was another disappointment for Koda and her following single, m・a・z・e, charted even poorer at #25. Finally, some success came her way when she was asked to do the main songs of Final Fantasy X-2 with real Emotion/1000の言葉 (1000 words), while also providing the voice for the character Lenne in the Japanese version of the game and providing the motion capture for Yuna’s dance during the opening. This single proved to be a success, debuting at #3 and gaining her more recognition. Releasing her second studio album, grow into one, ensured 倖田來未 her first album to chart and continue the trend in the top ten, debuting at #9.

actually kumi kuu has had two recut (singles being released after the album was out) so it could be a recut, but considering it has 2 versions and is regular price i don't think it's a recut.

Japanese hardly ever make singles from the album after the album drops. I think we've got just about all the singles we're going to get from this album.
