Kingdom is the sixth studio album by Japanese singer-songwriter Kumi Koda. It was released on January 30, 2008, a week after her single anytime. The album debuted at #1 on the Oricon Weekly Charts with sales of 421,302. It remained on the charts for thirty-three weeks. The album was released in four editions: CD, CD+DVD, CD+2DVD and CD+2DVD+Poster, with limited editions of all versions carrying the bonus track Black Cherry.

Kingdom is Kumi Koda's sixth studio album and tenth album overall. It was released on January 30, 2008, a little over a year after her previous studio album Black Cherry. The album was her fourth consecutive album to claim the #1 spot on the Oricon charts, continuing her streak, which began in early 2005 with her Best ~first things~ album. It contained new material and was her first album to have music videos for every song - including the introduction. She would later do this again for her 2012 album Japonesque.
The album was available in four versions: CD, CD+DVD, CD+2DVD and a limited edition CD+2DVD+Poster. The first DVD featured sixteen music videos for each song on the album, including the music video for the non-album song Run For Your Life. The second DVD was of her Premium Live In Hall In Yokohama Arena concert, which was performed at the Yokohama Arena in Yokohama on June 20, 2007. The CD+2DVD edition contained a slip cover, three stickers of the different album covers and a booklet, which contained photos of the concert. The album's artwork was to symbolize Kumi's popularity in the Japanese music industry at the time, with Kumi donning a crown and sitting on a throne.
Kingdom was available in four editions:
