A short audio teaser of "Ko-so-Ko-so" was leaked online on June 28th, 2011 and the full song premiered on July 10th. The "making of" videos were uploaded to AVEX's YouTube as previews to the single. The music video For V.I.P was released August 1 and the rest of the PVs were released the 13th August.

"V.I.P." contains a short sample of American group Fort Minor's song "Believe Me".

Music videos [link]

Unlike 4 Hot Wave, only two of the four music videos are interconnected.

The PV for "V.I.P" features Kumi going to night club and dancing, later she is surrounded by two men who kiss her, later she pushes them away and the men leave her.

The PV and steamy video for "Ko-So-Ko-So" features Kumi with a female in bed who was present at the beginning and end of the "V.I.P." video.

The PV for "Poppin' Love Cocktail" was fillmed on a green screen and it premièred on 16 August, 2011. It features Kumi in a car and Teeda on a motorbike racing each other, then, they stop their cars and a train comes, then the scene changes to Kumi and Teeda dancing on top of the train, she then pushes Teeda into the sea. After it returns to the scene where they are riding across a beach, as they drive clouds are seen floating around them, then the songs ends. Also there are inter-cut scenes where Koda and Teeda are singing in front of a screen that shows the lyrics of the song.

The PV for "In the Air" features Kumi getting ready for her home-coming boyfriend.

50th single celebration [link]

To commemorate this being Koda's 50th single, "4 Times" will have four A-side tracks, similar to that of her hit 2006 summer single, titled "4 Hot Wave".[2]:

    Air (novel)

    Air, also known as Air: Or, Have Not Have, is a 2005 novel by Geoff Ryman. It won the British Science Fiction Association Award, the James Tiptree, Jr. Award, and the Arthur C. Clarke Award, and was on the short list for the Philip K. Dick Award in 2004, the Nebula Award in 2005, and the John W. Campbell Memorial Award in 2006.

    Ryman initially wrote a short story for The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction entitled "Have Not Have", which was included in the April 2001 edition (later reprinted in the June 2014 issue of Clarkesworld Magazine). This was expanded into a novel initially titled Air: Or, Have Not Have, and renamed to just Air in all editions since the first.

    Plot introduction

    Air is the story of a town's fashion expert Chung Mae, a smart but illiterate peasant woman in a small village in the fictional country of Karzistan (loosely based on the country of Kazakhstan), and her suddenly leading role in reaction to dramatic, worldwide experiments with a new information technology called Air. Air is information exchange, not unlike the Internet, that occurs in everyone's brain and is intended to connect the world. After a test of Air is imposed on Mae's unprepared mountain town, everyone and everything changes, especially Mae who was deeper into Air than any other person. Afterwards, Mae struggles to prepare her people for what is to come while learning all about the world outside her home.

    Hands (Dave Holland and Pepe Habichuela album)

    Hands is a 2010 album by English jazz double bassist Dave Holland and Spanish flamenco guitarist Pepe Habichuela. The unlikely pairing was arranged by Minuel Ferrand, the director of musical events for the Cultural Department of Andalusia. The first meeting took place in 2007, with four days of rehearsals, followed by three concerts. The group was expanded in May of 2008 and recorded Hands in March of 2009, and released on Holland's own label Dare2. Eight of the ten tracks on the album were written by Pepe Habichuela based on the flamenco tradition, while Holland contributes two originals.

    Reception

    The Guardian called Holland's sound, "a natural for this richly sonorous idiom". Chris May of All About Jazz called Hands, "an elegant, lyrical, rhythmically spicy blend of jazz and flamenco in which flamenco gets top billing. The Allmusic review by Chris Nickson awarded the album 4 stars stating "It's Habichuela's magical fingers that mesmerize, covering the scales as adroitly as any pianist and bringing a rich fullness and a stunning imagination to the sound. But what's really at work here is a group consciousness, an exploration of flamenco, and the listener shares Holland's journey. There's nothing here that's diluted - this is hardcore flamenco, very much the real thing - and the hard realism is one of the great pleasures."

    Hands In The Air

    by: The Waiting

    If I raise my hands just to lift the shade
    Will I reveal a sky heavy and gray?
    Will last night be a memory sweetly fading?
    How I hate a morning starting out this way
    On these lonely, raging mornings I would whip You if I could
    But You're on the mighty side of strong
    And the perfect side of good
    If I raise my hands will You grab my by the wrists
    And will You try to pull me from the fray?
    And even if my fingers join together into fists
    Will You hold me firmly anyway?
    Because I would try to escape You but for everyday I'm sure
    That You're on the huge side of big
    And the holy side of pure
    Okay
    Hear what I say
    As I raise my hands in surrender today
    Okay
    Here I will stay
    Hands in the air, singing have Thine own way
    If I raise my hands so weak and thin and frail
    Will You reveal the light of mercy in Your eyes?
    If I cry to You faintly will my feeble whisper fail?
    Or will it find its way to a reply?
    Because, now that I'm exhausted I think I'm ready to admit
    That I have spent all my resistance on someone I can't resist
    Light from my window sill, make my way to the door
    I hang my head and still, I know you're wanting more
    Over the threshold now, I move across the yard
    All that my will allows, my every step is hard
    Now in the garden I carve out six feet of space
    There make my will comply, lie down upon my face
    Been toe to toe too long, I'm tired of fighting You
    I see You were too strong 'cause I am black and blue
    But now I understand a loser's due to win
    How every dying man is sure to rise again
    So I raise my left hand one, I raise my right hand two
    Under the morning sun, my spirit cries to You
    Okay
    Hear what I say
    As I raise my hands in surrender today
    Right here
    Under the sun
    Hands in the air, saying Thy will be done
    I'm here
    Under the sun
    Hands in the air, singing Thy will be done Okay
    Here I will stay
    Hands in the air, singing have Thine own way
    Have Thine own way
