"Twinkle" is a pop song by Koda Kumi. The song is found on her fifth studio album Black Cherry as track #16. The song was first released in Japanese and is part of the soundtrack to the Japanese anime OVA Amazing Nuts!. It was then released in English as a bonus track to Black Cherry, with the album's PV featuring an appearance by Taiwanese singer Show Luo. Koda performed Twinkle at the Black Cherry tour in Japanese, while later in Taiwan in 2009 performing it in English with Show Luo himself. The Japanese version made it into her official discography when a Koda-only, Japanese cut of the PV was released on the second disc of the Black Cherry concert DVD.
