15. EX TAPE
14. Interlude ~Bon Voyage~
13. Whatchu Waitin' On?
12. Stay
11. ESCALATE
10. No Man's Land
09. Driving
08. TABOO
07. V.I.P.
06. No way
05. WALK OF MY LIFE
04. BE MY BABY
03. Lollipop
02. Koishikute **
01. Alive **

Gosh, I actually cried a little (listening to Alive) trying to figure out where some of these go. When I read the Top 15 challenge, I immediately knew Alive and Koishikute go at the top of my list. Obviously, I still cry when I hear Koda sing Alive. Koishikute's intro is unforgettable for me. The rest of the song isn't the best, but it's the intro to Koishikute that makes it my #2.

I wish Koda had taken Interlude ~Bon Voyage~ and filled it out into a whole song. It's so short, but right up there with TABOO and Driving, which are to this day Koda's most solid pop tracks.

Anyway, I think I have a very balanced list spanning around 8 years of Koda's discography. Songs I want to be on this list but are ruined:

01. Passing By (Still can't stand the Michael Jackson wannabe.)
02. HURRICANE (Koda sounds so bored with this song, even though it's catchy.)
03. Ai no Ut.... JUST KIDDING!

Edit: I'm not a megafan of Koda like I am of KOKIA. I honestly couldn't do this list for KOKIA, who I would need around 70 spots to list favorites. But I hope my list is rather broad for her career. I know she's made some great music prior to Kingdom and Black Cherry, but I was introduced to her during her 12 weeks single releases.
