ギュッと絞った juice グッと飲み干す your body
もっと deep inside of me 遠くへ行こう

Oh, oh, oh, oh 食べたいでしょう?
じっと見つめたまま もっと play with my mind
ずっとココにいたいなら やり方あるでしょ?
そっと耳元で whisper, don't tell 誰も知らない
密会現場でちょっと 遊んでみない?

The song "JUICY" by Koda Kumi is a sensual and provocative track that explores the themes of desire and passion. The lyrics suggest that the singer is inviting a lover to come closer to her and indulge in their desires. The repetition of the word "juicy" in the chorus reinforces the sexual undertones of the track, while the imagery of drinking a squeezed juice emphasizes the need for the lover to consume her passion.
The first verse employs the metaphor of drinking to describe the lover's consumption of her passion, and urges him to explore deeper within her to find more. The second verse suggests that the singer desires a clandestine encounter with her lover, away from prying eyes, and encourages him to play with her mind. The lyrics of the chorus and bridge throughout the track emphasize the physicality of their desire – from whispered secrets to exploding candles, all building towards a climactic moment of ecstasy.
In conclusion, "JUICY" by Koda Kumi is a sultry ode to lust and the physical expression of desire. The track uses sensual lyrics and metaphors to entice the listener, inviting them into a world of unbridled passion and pleasure.

この時期は、めちゃくちゃ売れていて
12週連続リリースシングルを経て
その後のシングルも大ヒットし
ドラマの主題歌にもなって
ただでさえ忙しいくぅちゃんなのに
そこで満足せずむしろ今こその気持ちで
一曲、一曲の作品を全力で制作し
まだまだ倖田來未の
未知の世界の引き出しを開き
さまざまな倖田來未を魅せてくれる。
それは、長い下積み時代の経験を
無駄にせず、むしろ活かして
チャンスを逃さず握りしめて這い上がり
倖田來未にしかなし得ない
夢へのチケットであったからであろう。
だから見てる方も飽きないんだなー！と
20周年を振り返り改めて思う。
『4 hot wave』のMVの内容は
「JUICY」「With your smile」「I'll be there」「人魚姫」の順番に繋がっている。
