Real World (album)

Real World (stylised as REAL WORLD) is Kokia's 11th studio album, released on March 31, 2010. Kokia travelled to the Tunisian Sahara for inspiration for songs on the album. Because of this, much of the promotional material is themed around her trip to Tunisia, including the album booklet and the music video for "The Woman."

Background

Before the album, three digital singles were released over eight months. Dubbed the Life Trilogy (Life Trilogy ～いのちの3部作～), the three singles featured message songs for humanity."Kimi o Sagashite/Last Love Song" (君をさがして/last love song, I Search for You) was the first of these, released in August. "Kimi o Sagashite" asked the question "What is life, and why does it disappear/why does the end come?" in its lyrics. The second single was "Single Mother/Christmas no Hibiki" (single mother / クリスマスの響き, Echo of Christmas), released in December. "Single Mother" was an autobiographical story about the unreplaceable bonds Kokia has to her mother. The final, "Kodoku na Ikimono/Ano Hi no Watashi ni" (孤独な生きもの/あの日の私に, Lonely Living Things/To Me on That Day), was released in March two weeks before the album's Japanese release. The song has a message that people have the power to change sadness and loneliness with kindness.
