Love Romance (stylized as Koda Kumi Love Romance Pachinko CR) is a special EP by Japanese artist Kumi Koda. The album was released as a promotional campaign for Sankyo's pachinko game, Love Romance, which is Koda Kumi's third installment (priors were Fever Live in Hall (2007) and Fever Live In Hall II (2009)).[1] She would collaborate with SANKYO again for the 2014 released of Fever: Legend Live. Koda Kumi released a promo for its official release on available pachinko games throughout Japan.[2]

The EP was only sold at promotional events. It only consisted of three previously released songs, but carried a new version for the music video of "Brave", which was originally on her Japonesque album.[3]

Music videos

[edit]

For the DVD, an alternate version of "Brave" was utilized, which was only featured in the Pachinko game.[4] The music video told the story of a mermaid, who fell in love with a human. Given a potion by a witch, she lives different lives with the man she fell in love with. The lives include an assassin who takes revenge on the ones who injured her lover, a genie who saves him from a possible execution and a fairy who meets him underneath the glow of moonlight.

During the gameplay, each song had differing videos:
