Black Cherry is Kumi Koda's fifth studio album and first original album since secret (2005). It charted at #1 on Oricon, continuing the artist's streak and staying at #1 for one month. It remained on the charts for sixty weeks. It was released in CD, CD+DVD and CD+2DVD with the latter being a limited edition that carried her movie debut Cherry Girl. The entire film's score was from the album.
Black Cherry is Kumi Koda's fifth studio album and seventh album overall. While it was only a year since her last studio album, secret, two compilation albums were released between secret and Black Cherry: Best ~first things~ (2005) and Best ~second session~ (2006).
It was released in CD, CD+DVD and CD+DVD. Each version contained different album artwork with Kumi donning different classical outfits on each cover. First Press editions of the album (all editions) carried three bonus tracks: the "English Version" of Twinkle (the original "Japanese Version" was on the Amazing Nuts! soundtrack - Taiwanese singer Show Luo also carried an English version on his album SPESHOW, which featured Kumi), the 2006 theme for the Crayon Shin-chan film GO WAY!!, and the "Red Cherry Version" of Won't Be Long (originally with Koda Kumi and EXILE). It also contained an access code to Koda Kumi's playroom, a chance to win album goods and the "Premium Making" of the music videos on the DVD.
Cherry Girl (film) was produced by the same team who created the drama Busu no Hitomi ni Koishiteru (ブスの瞳に恋してる / In Love with the Eyes of an Ugly Girl), which Koda Kumi had performed the theme, Koi no Tsubomi (2006). Milk Tea (ミルクティー / Miruku Tii) was the first time Koda Kumi wrote and composed a song that was featured on an album. The "Introduction" on the album was given a full version, Black Cherry, on her 2008 album, Kingdom.
