Winter of Love is Japanese singer Kumi Koda's seventh compilation album, released under Rhythm Zone. It was issued in CD, CD+DVD/Blu-ray and CD+Fan Club DVD editions.[1] The album features some of Kumi's top selling ballads, as well as two new songs. The track On And On was used as primary promotional song. The music video for On And On was the first music video strictly made for mobile phones.[2] Kumi premiered the music video during a live broadcast on her official LINE account on 19 January 2016.[3] It was released worldwide the following day. The full video kept the cellphone aesthetic, but was rendered to fit full screen.[4]
