"Won't Be Long" is a collaboration single by Japanese group Exile and singer-songwriter Koda Kumi. It debuted on No. 2 on Oricon and stayed there for the weekly ranking, bringing its monthly rank to No. 6.
Won't Be Long feat. Koda Kumi is Japanese band Exile's collaborative effort with Japanese R&B-turned-pop artist Kumi Koda. It charted No. 2 on Oricon and remained on the charts for over six months.[1] Due to the high ranking and length on the charts, the single took No. 6 on the monthly charts.
Won't Be Long is a cover of the same song, originally released by Japanese band Da Bubble Gum Brothers on August 22, 1990.[2]
Prior to the single's physical release, it reached one million downloads. Due to Koda Kumi being, at the time, Avex's most popular artist, the single charted higher than the original release.[3]
Despite Takahiro joining Exile as a new vocalist around the time of the single's release, the song did not feature him and only featured Shun. The song was unveiled on December 30, 2006, during the 48th Japan Record Awards, but still omitted Takahiro.[4][5]
In 1990s, Kwok Cheung Lee (李國祥) from Hong Kong covered this song with Cantonese and Mandarin-Chinese versions – "全為了你" (All for you) and "充滿光彩" (Fulfilled colors).
American vocal group Rockapella accompanied the Bubble Gum Bros. in a Christmas concert special in 1992. The song was also released on Rockapella‘s first studio album, To N.Y.
Koda Kumi also released two solo versions on her album Black Cherry (2006): Won't Be Long [Red Cherry Version] and Won't Be Long [Black Cherry Version]. Exile also had a different version on their album EXILE EVOLUTION (2007), this version featuring Japanese rapper NEVER LAND.
