Information
Trick is Koda Kumi's seventh studio album and eleventh overall album. It continued her streak of No. 1 albums on the weekly Oricon Albums Charts, which began in 2005 with her compilation album Best ~first things~. Trick debuted at No. 1 on Oricon's Daily Chart with over 100,000 units sold in its first day. By the end of its first week, Trick sold over 253,000 copies, placing it at No. 1 on the charts, being her third album to reach the top spot. However, it was one of her lowest first week sales for a studio album since her 2005 album secret.
The album was released as CD and CD+2DVD. CD+2DVD was a limited release and carried the "Special Live "Dirty Ballroom" ~One Night Show~" concert she performed at Studio Coast in the Shin-Kiba district of Koto, Tokyo on October 23, 2008. The bonus secret feature on the second DVD could be accessed by clicking on the clown's nose on the menu screen, which was the rehearsals and setup for the show.
