K.K.K.K.K.

K.K.K.K.K. is the second studio album by Japanese musician Kahimi Karie. It was originally released in July 1998 on Crue-L Records in Japan. In 1999, it saw release in the United States on Le Grand Magistery, with four bonus remixes added to the track listing. It was Karie's second and final album to be made readily available in the United States, a year after the release of her well-received self-titled compilation.
