Ima Sugu Hoshii is Japanese singer-songwriter Kumi Koda's ninth single in her 12 Single Collection and twenty-seventh overall. The single debuted at #2 on the Oricon Singles Charts and too the fifth slot of the week, remaining on the charts for seven weeks. As with the majority of the singles in the collection, Ima Sugu Hoshii was limited to 50,000 copies.
Each single in the 12 Singles Collection had unique cover art based on certain cultures in various countries. The back cover of each single was a piece to a puzzle, which could only be completed by purchasing all twelve singles. The same was done for the obi strips, which contained a full image when arranged together in order. However, the obi strip image was omitted on the Hong Kong versions.
The song is a cover of the Sugar Soul song by the same name, originally released in January 1997 and later put on their album Those Days. Sugar Soul's DJ HASEBE and Aiko Machida reproduced the single with Kumi. However, the rap that Kumi performed for the bridge was not in the original song. Japanese rapper ZEEBRA wrote the lyrics for the rap. ZEEBRA had also worked with rapper KM-MARKIT during their time together in the Ubarian Gym, and who Kumi had worked with for her song "Hot Stuff" and KM-MARKIT's song "Rainy Day." Jewels from the sister duo the Heartsdales also assisted in writing the lyrics.
