KOKIA updates - new releases (November 2024)

KOKIA has updated her official web page with new information about her recent single and upcoming new album. Here are the updates to keep you in the loop.

Arigatou... (KOKIA's version)

(October 1 blog entry & October 3 news)

KOKIA recorded her song Arigatou... ('Thank you...') again for a digital single, this time labeling the version 'KOKIA's version'. The single was available starting midnight from the night rolling into October 2.

The single is available via various online sources here. She also produced a music video to go along with the single, which can be found on her official YouTube channel.

Essence -25th Anniversary All Time Best-

(October 3 news & October 3 blog entry)

On November 20, 2024, KOKIA's best album Essence -25th Anniversary All Time Best- will be released. Unlike many of her most recent releases, this album will be available in general music stores and not her official web shop. The full tracklist is also available (I'll include it at the end of this entry).

Several websites have also posted about the album, some including extras:

The HMV website offers a special first come, first served postcard if y you pre-order the album via their shop.

Tower Records has a special in-store event on November 27, 2024 at their Umeda NU Chayamachi store in Osaka, Japan. If you purchase your copy of the album there, you will receive a ticket for event admission and for an autograph session (both first come, first serve, with the former given out once per order, and the latter for every album purchased). The event will open at 19:00 and start at 19:30. Purchasers will also get a postcard as long as supplies last.

Additional events

General ticket sales for her November 2 strings concert SHI-NA-RU at Suntory Blue Rose have started, so the release month of her new album. The concert features KOKIA with just piano, violin and cello, themed around Arigatou... (her gratitude). The concert is being prepared as a replacement for her big hall concerts in spring, which she didn't get to do this year.

KOKIA's album shares its name with KOKIA's new radio show, KOKIA's the Essence of Music, which started airing Sunday, October 6, 2024 from 1:30 to 2:00 AM (technically early Monday morning), and is a weekly radio show.

How to Build a Successful Music Career in the Digital Era

The music industry has transformed significantly over the years, with technology taking center stage in shaping how artists create, promote, and monetize their work. As an artist, thriving in this digital-first world requires a mix of talent, strategy, and adaptability. From crafting impactful videos to mastering your sound online, there are endless opportunities to enhance your reach and success. This article explores the essential tools and techniques every musician should embrace to carve a niche in the competitive music scene.

Creating the Perfect Visuals: Elevate Your Music with Videos A music video is more than just a visual accompaniment to your song—it’s a storytelling tool that lets your audience connect with your art on a deeper level. Planning an effective music video shot requires creativity and precision. Start by identifying the theme and mood of your song. Do you want a vibrant, energetic vibe or something more introspective and emotional? Once your concept is clear, focus on selecting the right location, props, and equipment to bring your vision to life. Collaborating with skilled videographers can ensure your video aligns with industry standards while reflecting your unique style.

Mastering Your Tracks with Online Tools Quality audio is non-negotiable for any artist hoping to stand out. The good news is that you don’t need access to expensive studio equipment to achieve professional-grade sound. With tools that allow you to master audio online free, you can fine-tune your tracks with ease. These platforms are designed to analyze your audio files and apply adjustments like compression, equalization, and limiting to ensure your songs sound polished and radio-ready. The accessibility of online mastering tools has democratized music production, allowing indie artists to compete with major labels on quality.

TikTok: A Game-Changer for Music Promotion Social media is one of the most powerful tools in an artist’s arsenal today, and TikTok leads the pack when it comes to music promotion. Understanding how to set up my TikTok account is the first step toward building a strong presence on the platform. Once your account is set up, you can create engaging content such as behind-the-scenes clips, trending challenges, and teaser videos for your music. TikTok’s algorithm favors creative and authentic content, making it easier for emerging artists to gain visibility and go viral.

Maximizing Revenue Through Streaming Platforms While streaming platforms have made music more accessible to listeners worldwide, understanding streaming payouts is essential for maximizing your earnings. Each platform has its own royalty structure, so it’s important to research which ones align with your goals. For instance, Spotify offers valuable exposure, while Bandcamp allows for direct sales. By diversifying your streaming strategy, you can build multiple income streams while expanding your reach. Transparency about payouts is growing, giving artists more control over their revenue.

Your Signature Track: The Key to Recognition Every artist dreams of creating that one track that resonates universally and showcases their unique sound. Your Artist’s Title Song plays a pivotal role in defining your brand as a musician. This signature piece often serves as an introduction to new listeners, so ensure it captures the essence of your artistry. Once you’ve identified your standout track, promote it across multiple channels—from social media platforms to live performances—to build recognition and grow your fan base.

Conclusion: Take Charge of Your Musical Journey The digital era has leveled the playing field, giving artists of all backgrounds the chance to shine. Success in today’s music industry depends on a combination of talent, technology, and strategic planning. By investing in quality audio, creating engaging visuals, leveraging social platforms, and understanding the financial aspects of streaming, you can establish a lasting career. Remember, your journey as an artist is unique, so stay true to your vision while embracing the tools available to you.

Tips for Filling Seats at Your Live Events

Promoting a live show is an art in itself. Whether you're an emerging artist or a seasoned performer, filling seats and selling tickets requires a well-thought-out strategy. In today’s competitive music scene, simply announcing your gig isn’t enough—you need to actively engage with your audience and create a buzz that makes people want to attend. This blog post will guide you through effective techniques to promote your gigs and ensure that you are filling seats at your live events and your live shows are packed.

Understand Your Audience

The first step in promoting your live show is understanding your target audience. Knowing who they are, what they like, and where they spend their time is crucial to crafting a promotion strategy that resonates.

**1. Identify Your Core Fans:**

Your core fans are the people most likely to attend your shows. These might be your social media followers, people who have attended your previous gigs, or listeners who regularly stream your music. Understanding their demographics—age, location, interests—helps you tailor your promotional efforts.

**2. Segment Your Audience:**

Not all fans are the same. Some may prefer intimate acoustic sets, while others might be drawn to high-energy performances. Segment your audience based on their preferences, and target your promotions accordingly.

Utilize Social Media

Social media is one of the most powerful tools for promoting live shows. It allows you to reach a broad audience, create excitement, and engage with fans in real time.

**1. Create a Social Media Plan:**

Develop a content calendar that outlines what you’ll post in the weeks leading up to your show. Include announcements, behind-the-scenes content, teasers, and reminders. Use a mix of posts—videos, images, stories, and live streams—to keep your audience engaged.

**2. Leverage Multiple Platforms:**

Different social media platforms cater to different audiences. Use Instagram and TikTok for visually appealing content, Facebook for event pages and ads, and Twitter for real-time updates. Tailor your content to fit the platform’s strengths.

**3. Engage with Your Followers:**

Don’t just post and forget. Engage with your followers by responding to comments, answering questions, and encouraging them to share your content. The more interaction you have, the more likely your posts will reach a wider audience.

**4. Use Paid Advertising:**

Consider investing in paid social media ads to reach a larger audience. Platforms like Facebook and Instagram allow you to target specific demographics, interests, and locations, making your ads more effective.

Collaborate with Influencers and Local Media

Collaborating with influencers and local media can significantly boost your show’s visibility.

**1. Partner with Influencers:**

Identify local influencers or bloggers who resonate with your music style and have a following that matches your target audience. They can promote your show through their platforms, offering authentic endorsements that can drive ticket sales.

**2. Reach Out to Local Media:**

Contact local radio stations, newspapers, and music blogs to feature your upcoming show. An interview, a feature story, or even a simple event listing can help get the word out to potential attendees.

**3. Offer Press Passes:**

Invite journalists, bloggers, and influencers to attend your show for free in exchange for coverage. This not only increases your show’s visibility but also provides you with content that can be used to promote future events.

Create Compelling Promotional Content

The content you create to promote your live show should capture the essence of your performance and entice people to attend.

**1. Design Eye-Catching Posters:**

A well-designed poster can grab attention and convey the vibe of your show. Include essential details like the date, time, venue, and ticket information, and make sure the design aligns with your brand.

**2. Share Teasers and Trailers:**

Create short video teasers or trailers that give a sneak peek of what attendees can expect. Whether it’s a snippet of a rehearsal, behind-the-scenes footage, or highlights from past shows, these teasers can build anticipation.

**3. Highlight Special Features:**

If your show has unique elements—like special guests, a new setlist, or a themed performance—make sure to highlight these in your promotional materials. Give potential attendees a reason to feel they can’t miss this particular event.

**4. Utilize Email Marketing:**

Don’t underestimate the power of email marketing. Send out newsletters to your mailing list with all the details of your upcoming show, including links to buy tickets. Personalize the emails to make your fans feel special and valued.

Engage with Your Local Community

Connecting with your local community can be a great way to fill seats for your live show.

**1. Partner with Local Businesses:**

Team up with local businesses to cross-promote your show. For example, you could offer ticket discounts to customers of a nearby café or give away tickets through a local boutique. These partnerships can help you tap into new audiences.

**2. Perform at Local Events:**

If possible, perform at local events or festivals in the weeks leading up to your show. This can help you gain exposure and promote your gig to a wider audience.

**3. Hand Out Flyers:**

Old-school promotion still has its place. Hand out flyers at local hotspots, music stores, and events. Make sure your flyers are visually appealing and include all the necessary details.

Incentivize Ticket Sales

Creating incentives can motivate people to purchase tickets in advance.

**1. Early Bird Discounts:**

Offer discounted tickets to those who buy early. This not only encourages early sales but also helps you gauge interest and plan accordingly.

**2. Group Discounts:**

Offer discounts for group purchases to encourage people to bring friends. This can be particularly effective for shows in larger venues.

**3. Exclusive Perks:**

Provide exclusive perks for advance ticket holders, such as early entry, meet-and-greet opportunities, or merchandise discounts. These added incentives can make your show more appealing.

**4. Run Contests and Giveaways:**

Hold contests on social media where fans can win free tickets or backstage passes. This not only drives engagement but also spreads the word about your show.

Conclusion

Promoting a live show requires creativity, strategy, and a deep understanding of your audience. By utilizing social media, collaborating with influencers, creating compelling content, engaging with your local community, and offering incentives, you can effectively promote your gigs and ensure that your shows are well-attended. Remember, the key to successful promotion is consistent effort and genuine connection with your audience. With the right approach, you can turn your live performances into must-attend events that fans eagerly anticipate.

From spearheading the iconic Bombay Vikings to becoming a celebrated Bollywood playback singer, Neeraj’s journey is a fascinating narrative of adaptation and innovation.

Neeraj Shridhar’s musical odyssey began in the late 1990s with the formation of Bombay Vikings, a band known for its innovative fusion of Western pop influences with Indian melodies. At a time when independent music was in its infancy in India, Bombay Vikings became a trendsetter.

Neeraj’s unique approach involved reimagining classic Hindi songs with modern beats, retaining their essence while making them appealing to younger audiences.

Social Media Presence:

In addition to streaming platforms, Neeraj embraced social media as a tool to connect with fans. Platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter allowed him to share updates, interact with listeners, and promote his latest projects. This direct engagement fostered a sense of community among his followers, strengthening his digital footprint.

Collaborations and Innovations:

Neeraj also collaborated with digital content creators and influencers, leveraging their platforms to introduce his music to niche audiences. This strategy underscored his adaptability and willingness to explore new avenues for growth.

The court ruled 6-3 for designer Lorie Smith, saying she can refuse to design websites for same-sex weddings despite a Colorado law that bars discrimination based on sexual orientation, race, gender and other characteristics. The court said forcing her to create the websites would violate her free speech rights under the Constitution’s First Amendment.

Gorsuch and the other 6 essentially state that “to force all manner of artists, speechwriters, and others whose services involve speech to speak what they do not believe on pain of penalty". This is absolutely bonkers and has too much scope.

Yeah, no, were aren't talking about using artistry to give or endorse an opinion in anyway, shape or form.

This is about providing any form of artistic expression to the public, as a private business. This is straight up suggesting that based on their identity as a same sex couple, something that is innate, like race, is a reason to refuse a service.

What you are effectively suggesting (and what Gorsuch is also suggesting) is that creatives can and should discriminate with their artistic expression (in essence, selling Nazi flags, KKK emblems, etc. would not only be legally acceptable, as it already is, but those same people can turn around and promote homophobia and racism by ensuring that they don't have to work or associate themselves with those that they hate, and vice versa).

This would allow public networks (Looking at Fox News) to say some of the most blatantly racist, sexist, homophobic, classist bullshit you'll ever hear.

Why? Because they hide behind the same 1st Amendment protection of free expression, and would be allowed to block out any form of dissent as disagreement, and legally not be seen as discrimination.

Radio, TV, Music, no matter what people use to express themselves - all have been given the freest of passes to use business and their words to discriminate. And you fucking see this as a good thing. Jesus.

Listen to Bagedai below https://open.spotify.com/album/1m6W0qEGxlLvYDiYLoj1AN Follow Bagedai on Facebook Spotify Youtube Instagram What is your stage name?  Bagedai. Is there a story behind your stage name? Bagedai, also known as "Beautiful Homeland," is the first piece of land the Wa ancestors stepped on after leaving Sigangli. It is the heartland of the Wa people, nurturing the bloodline of the tribe which was given birth along with the creation epic of Sigangli, with every mountain and tree carrying the mysterious power of ancient traditions. Bagedai is the cradle of Wa culture, the Wa people formed tribes and spread out from Bagedai, each creating their own homes. No matter where the Wa people go, they never forget their homeland. Bagedai is the shared home of all Wa people, just as the band members come from the same place but have different professions, coming together to protect and promote our culture. Where do you find inspiration? The tunes we sing are the ones we've heard our elders hum since childhood. During our free time, the band members gather to chat, have drinks and share our ideas, which also sparks inspiration. Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry? Ximeng is a small county where many talents have emerged, like Yan Yong, the bassist of the Shanren, and Amei, the lead singer of Sigangli. We are influenced by these predecessors and want to join the music industry to let more people know about Ximeng and Wa culture. [caption id="attachment_56440" align="alignnone" width="2000"] We are influenced by these predecessors and want to join the music industry to let more people know about Ximeng and Wa culture.[/caption] How did you learn to sing/write/to play? The band members gather together, share our thoughts on a particular tune of Wa, and each member contributes their ideas. Once everyone agrees, we finalize the song's writing. What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform? Our first concert was at the Nanman Music Festival in Xishuangbanna, where Kawa also performed. How could you describe your music?

Wa music is primitive and simple, while beautiful and captivating. Its unadorned tunes and rugged style make it unique. Life in Awashan, including love, marriage, labor, harvest and celebrations, is the best musical score, with each chapter full of joy. Describe your creative process. Everyone shares their thoughts on how to express the song's true meaning. We practice multiple times to find the best way to perform the song, and that's how we complete it. What is your main inspiration? Many released songs are what we've heard since childhood. There are many captivating tunes in Wa culture, but few people sing them now. We want to protect and promote these tunes so everyone can hear these heart-touching songs. What are your interests outside of music? We cook traditional Wa dishes together. https://open.spotify.com/artist/19b8Lt7dRQLf4BCwMVWUWJ If it wasn't a music career, what would you be doing? The five female lead singers work in the county's ethnic cultural troupe. Among the musicians, there is inheritor of intangible cultural heritage, and others work in institutions or play in other bands in Kunming. What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music? In the beginning, we didn't receive much support and encouragement from people around us, which was quite disheartening. If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be? We hope more people will support ethnic and original music, making it more popular and step onto the world stage. What are your plans for the coming months? We have some regular performances coming up. Additionally, we will have a small-scale live house tour outside Yunnan in September. This tour will be interesting, because we will reduce the number of performers on stage, which originally consists of 12 people in most large-scale stage. While ensuring the quality of the live performance, we are trying to fit the live house setting. This is a challenge, but if it works well, we hope to bring our music to more live houses and bars, which offer more intimate and atmospheric environment for the audience. We also plan to hold an album release presser for our self-titled album "Bagedai" in our hometown, Ximeng County. Do you have any artistic collaboration plans? If possible, I hope the band can perform overseas, so more people can learn about Wa tunes and the efforts that we are making to preserve our ethnic culture. What message would you like to give to your fans? Bagedai hopes to inspire more young people of ethnic minorities to learn and inherit their own ethnic culture. We want to tell them, only they can represent their ethnicity. By understanding the world through ethnic music, the world is also allowed to better understand ethnic minorities.

Leveraging Playlists to Boost Your Music Career

In today’s digital age, playlists have emerged as powerful tools for artists to connect with audiences, build their fan base, and achieve success in the music industry. Unlike traditional radio or album releases, playlists provide a dynamic platform where music discovery is driven by user preferences, algorithmic suggestions, and curated recommendations. For emerging musicians, understanding how to utilize playlists effectively can be a game-changer. This article explores the nuances of getting your music on playlists, the strategies involved, and how it aligns with other crucial aspects of building a music career.

The Power of Playlists in Music Discovery Playlists are no longer just a way for listeners to organize their favorite tracks; they are a cornerstone of music discovery. Platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube curate playlists that cater to specific moods, genres, and activities. These curated collections introduce millions of users to new artists every day. For musicians, landing a spot on a popular playlist can dramatically increase streams, attract new fans, and even lead to opportunities for live performances and collaborations. Getting your music on playlist is one of the most effective ways to ensure your tracks reach a wider audience.

Types of Playlists and Their Importance Understanding the types of playlists available can help you decide where to focus your efforts. Editorial playlists, created by streaming platforms, are among the most coveted spots for any artist. These playlists are curated by in-house music experts and often receive millions of followers. Algorithmic playlists, like Spotify’s Discover Weekly, are personalized for individual users based on their listening habits, providing another avenue for exposure. Lastly, user-generated playlists, though smaller in scale, can still significantly impact an artist’s reach when shared among niche communities.

Strategies to Get Featured on Playlists While the prospect of being included in high-profile playlists may seem daunting, there are actionable steps musicians can take to increase their chances. The first step is creating high-quality music that resonates with listeners. Once you have a standout track, understanding whats an electronic press kit becomes essential. An EPK helps showcase your work to playlist curators by providing a professional overview of your music, biography, and promotional materials.

Building relationships with curators is another key aspect of playlisting. Many independent curators are open to submissions, and platforms like SubmitHub make it easier to connect with them. Personalizing your pitch and explaining why your track fits their playlist theme can make a significant difference. Additionally, engaging with fans and encouraging them to include your music in their playlists is an organic way to boost visibility.

Maximizing Impact Through Consistency Consistency is critical when it comes to maintaining playlist momentum. Once you’ve managed to secure a spot on a playlist, continuing to release high-quality tracks ensures you stay relevant. Uploading new tracks regularly to platforms like SoundCloud can also enhance your presence. Learning how to upload tracks on SoundCloud effectively ensures that your music reaches the right audience, increasing the chances of playlist placement. Use proper tagging, write engaging descriptions, and ensure that your tracks are well-mixed and mastered.

The Role of Visuals in Playlist Marketing The importance of visuals cannot be overstated in the digital music landscape. A compelling album cover can make your track stand out in a crowded playlist. Avoiding a generic album cover and investing in unique, high-quality artwork that reflects your music’s essence can attract more listeners. Visuals create a cohesive brand identity, making your music more memorable to playlist audiences.

Conclusion Playlists are a vital component of a successful music marketing strategy. They provide an avenue for discovery, enable connection with fans, and can serve as a launching pad for broader opportunities. By understanding how to get your music on playlist, utilizing tools like electronic press kits, and maintaining a strong visual identity, artists can significantly enhance their reach and influence. The path to success in the music industry may be challenging, but leveraging playlists effectively can take your career to new heights. How do you approach playlisting?

ANUMBEROFNAMES - Sharevari

shari vari @ the scene (1982)

Sharevari: The Disco Single that Foreshadowed Detroit Techno

A Number Of Names is Sterling Jones and Paul Lesley, two Black men from Detroit who worked with a third artist called Roderick Simpson to make “Sharevari” (the song has since appeared as “Share Vari” - the label of the original single has no spacing and A Number Of Names appears as ANUMBEROFNAMES). The group would press the single to a vanity label called Capriccio Records in 1981. A Number Of Names only recorded one other song, “Skitso” in 1982, for a Canadian label. The A-side of “Sharevari”, the vocal version, is an Italo Disco styled synth-pop fantasia with a first person narrator in a bad pan-European accent talking about his glamorous night life.

---------------

Two recordings by Detroit artists introduced the earliest beginnings of techno as its own style and genre. This track and "Alleys of your mind" by Cybotron are the two in question. In essence, this track is regarded by many as being the very first Detroit Techno track to hit the streets. The name Sharevari evolved from the legendary Charivari parties that began attracting a cult following in 1980 and was a tribute to Detroit's high school party scene. The track name was altered slightly to avoid any possible conflict with the Charivari party promoters. Apparently (source Techno Rebels The Renegades Of Electronic Funk book), the legendary radio jock Charles Johnson, also known as "the Electrifying Mojo" (or simply Mojo) was in the crowd the night Sharevari was first played at a Charivari party. He convinced A Number Of Names to come down to his show on radio station WGPR. Although there were only three writers credited on the record (Paul Lesley, Sterling Jones and Roderick Simpson), a virtual army of band members showed up and crammed into the DJ booth. According to Mojo, they said "What do we call ourselves? We don't have a name". Mojo said, "How may of you are there? Quite a few - why don't your call yourselves A Number Of Names?". Mojo played the record and people went crazy over it. A Number Of Names (now so called) were actually pushing a different song "Skitso" but he said "Sharevari is the one I am going to play". And so this record became one of the most important records in the evolution of techno music. A true seminal release. You will also notice that the catalogue number is P-928, which is a reference to a Porsche 928 as referred to in the lyrics of this record. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeF0xTdHPfA
