"Chase" is Kumi Koda's 12th domestic CD single. It reached No. 18 on Oricon and stayed on the charts for eight weeks. Information. "Chase" is Japanese R&B-turned-pop singer-songwriter Kumi Koda's twelfth single. The single failed to chart in the top ten on Oricon, coming it at No. 18. Despite this, the single charted for eight weeks. The single continued her transition from an R&B artist to a pop artist, whereas both this song and her last single, "Love & Honey," were categorized under the pop genre. This is most notably due to  Love & Honey starting her new album era of "secret." The title song is the ending theme for ANB's program "Summer〜Suspicious of Yuka xx What it Becomes!!" Despite the a-side being "Chase," the single's artwork was inspired more by its b-side, "Heat," which featured reggae duo MEGARYU, composed of MEGA HORN and RYU REX. Music video. The video features two thieves (both played by Kumi): a jewel thief and a bank robber. The jewel thief takes on the job as a hotel maid, going into others' rooms and stealing their prized jewels.

When the jewel thief sees the police, she willingly accepts her arrest, only to see that the officers had found and arrested the bank robber, instead. The ending scene leads into Kumi's next single, "Kiseki." Chart history. Peak position: #18 Sales. First week estimate: 11,764 Total estimate: 21,690 Alternate versions. Chase Heat feat. MEGARYU
