Trick (stylized as TRICK) is the seventh studio album released by J-Urban singer Koda Kumi. The album continued her #1 streak and stayed on the Oricon charts for twenty-nine weeks. It was released on January 28, 2009 and came in CD and CD+2DVD with the latter being a limited edition and the second DVD containing her LIVE DVD 「KODA KUMI SPECIAL LIVE “Dirty Ballroom” 〜One Night Show〜」. The limited editions of both versions carried the bonus track Venus, originally released by Shocking Blue in 1969.
On the first DVD, there are six secret videos, which could be accessed by clicking on Koda Kumi's left eye on the menu screen. On the second DVD, there is also a secret video accessed by clicking on the clown's nose. A full version for the introduction on the album was later performed during her Live Tour 2009 ~TRICK~.
Two new videos were made for the album: JUST THE WAY YOU ARE and show girl. There was also the "album version" of That Ain't Cool feat. Fergie, which carried more of a story compared to its single-released predecessor.
Trix may refer to:
Trix model construction sets were originally produced in 1931 by a Nuremberg company, Andreas Förtner (Anfoe). The German patent for the basic Trix pieces had been granted the previous year, in 1930.
The origin of the name Trix is uncertain; it has been suggested (by Adrie Wind) that it could have referred to the triple-hole configuration of the basic pieces.
A friendship between Stephan Bing, owner of Anfoe, and the English toy manufacturer W J Bassett-Lowke led to the founding of the London company Trix Ltd in 1932. In the United Kingdom, Trix sets challenged the British-invented Meccano model construction sets.
(See Trix (company) for details of the model electric trains that the German company also began producing in 1935).
Trix is a German company that originally made Trix metal construction sets. one of its co-founders was Stephan Bing, the son of the pioneer toy-maker industrialist Ignaz Bing. In 1935 the company began producing the electrically powered model trains that it became famous for, under the Trix Express label. Prior to the outbreak of World War II the Trix company produced a small range of fairly unrealistic AC powered three rail models running at 14 volts.
Unlike other manufacturers of the period, Trix allowed two trains to run on the same track simultaneously under independent control, one collecting current from the left rail and centre, the other from the right and centre. This system was known as 'Trix Twin'.
In the United Kingdom Trix models were distributed by Bassett-Lowke under the brand name 'Twin Train Table Railway', initially using German outline models painted in British colours, and from 1937 onwards relatively crude models of British locomotives and rolling stock.
