- Information
"HOCUS POCUS" is the fifth album released by Kimura Kaela. The album was released in two editions: a limited edition CD+DVD version and a normal CD only edition. The limited edition DVD comes with music videos for all of the album's singles, a special scene from Kimura's return to Saku Saku, and a making of the BANZAI video. The song "Butterfly" was used as a digital single to help promote the album and it received a music video (which is not featured on the limited DVD).
When asked about the album's title Kimura said that she chose it because "it seems like spell", which sends out the message of you can change the person you are by your own power. This is Kimura's first album that does not have an overall theme. Since debutting five years ago, she has gone through different hardships, but she has learned to accept the change and have a positive outlook. The lyrics on the album resemble those feelings and are meant to make you feel good.
