On July 31, 2025, iconic J-Pop singer Koda Kumi released her highly anticipated book, 『倖田的ビューティ（BEAUTY）』. More than just a beauty manual, this intimate work celebrates her personal journey through beauty, self-acceptance, and the wisdom of age.

Published by Gentosha, this 184-page beauty book is centered around the theme: “Beauty grows when complimented.” Koda Kumi offers a warm, introspective take on self-care, drawing from over two decades in the entertainment industry.

Inside, she shares:

• Her skincare routines and makeup tips


• Exclusive photos from her personal and professional life


• Reflections on aging, motherhood, and body positivity

“I struggled with my insecurities for years. Now, I want to tell every woman: you can shine at any age.”

— Koda Kumi, in an interview with GINGER magazine

Alongside the standard edition (¥1,980), a limited deluxe version was released via her official fan club KODA-Gumi in April, and through the KK App in May.

This exclusive package includes:

• A collector’s box in blush pink


• A daily calendar featuring “beauty power words”


• An unpublished mini photobook


• A magnifying LED mirror — a backstage must-have

Retail price: ¥10,890

The book comes as part of Koda Kumi’s year-long celebration of her 25th anniversary in the music industry. Following her “BEST ~2000–2025~” album in March and ahead of her upcoming “De-CODE Tour” this fall, this beauty project adds a new layer to her artistic identity.

She’s no longer just a performer — she’s evolving into an empowering voice in beauty and self-love.

On release day, a short promotional video was shared across her official website and social media. The clip features Koda Kumi leafing through her own book in a soft-lit room, blending elegance and introspection.

Although no public launch event was announced, fans enthusiastically responded online, and Japanese media outlets quickly picked up the story.

“KODA-TEKI BEAUTY” is not about setting beauty standards — it’s about encouraging everyone to embrace their own. With honesty and warmth, Koda Kumi shares a beauty philosophy built on experience, resilience, and compassion.

Whether you're a long-time fan or someone seeking a refreshing take on self-care, this book offers gentle yet powerful guidance on aging, confidence, and inner beauty.
