Eternity: Love & Songs is the first cover album by Japanese pop/R&B singer/songwriter Kumi Koda. It contains hip-hop and electronic arrangements of many older Japanese songs released between 1970 and 1990. The album charted at #3 on Oricon and remained on the charts for fourteen weeks. The release of the album was also to celebrate Koda Kumi's ten years as an artist.
Be My Baby (stylized as BE MY BABY) and Megumi no Hito (め組のひと / Best of Me) became the two promotional tracks for the album. A remix of Megumi no Hito can be found on Koda Kumi Driving Hit's 4 and a Be My Baby remix is found on Beach Mix.
The album is certified Gold for shipment of 100,000 copies.
