Chase (Koda Kumi song)

"Chase"
Song

"Chase" is Kumi Koda's 12th domestic CD single. The title song is the ending theme for ANB's program SAMAA〜to Yuka no ayashii××kashi chau no kayo!! (さまぁ〜ずと優香の怪しい××貸しちゃうのかよ!! / SUMMER〜Suspicious of Yuka xx What it Becomes!!). It reached #18 on Oricon and stayed on the charts for eight weeks.

Music video

The video features two thieves (both played by Koda Kumi): a jewel thief and a bank robber. The jewel thief takes on the job as a hotel maid, going into others' rooms and stealing their prized jewels. The bank robber is staying in the same hotel, unaware there are police searching for her downstairs in the lobby. When the jewel thief sees the police, she willingly accepts her arrest, only to see that the officers had found and arrested the bank robber, instead.

The ending scene leads in to Koda's next single, Kiseki.
