The official KOKIA thread
 

is it ok to speak about KOKIA? I saw that there used to be KOKIA thread in this official.... but I did not find... >.< but ok, how about her newest collaboration in peace road?

any comment about KOKIA? :D

i heard she parted with her record label?

dunno very well, but What I am sure is that she part from motherland (the company which makes her official site)..... recently she takes a part on peace road... I dunno whether it is a new song or not, but according to happii kokia@bravejournal >.< :)

consider me an active user to this thread from now on... i will reply later on...

thnak you for creating this!

edit:


PEACE ROAD is not her latest stuff... this is even older than pearl (27th july 2005), but i have put it in the front of my web because it's been so difficult to get this stuff, and it's a highly desired stuff... but i will put it in the download section soon, as there is new stuff i have got recently that i think it's interesting too.

the latests things kokia is doing are.... collaboration with another choir,

but i have no sample yet to offer.... i have just realised it's the song, yuukyuu no mori (she already sang this one for her single TIME TO SAY GOODBYE), sung with a choir, and there's a cd, but no mp3 yet...

besides, shes making some concerts, call keep moving, there are vol.1 vol.2 & vol.3...

vol1. has already been held, on 14th june, and it was agreat success. you can see some samples of that wonderful show in the KOKIA official web www.kokia.com

+ interview, could you tell me what it says ?

my gosh... long time no reply in here... .thx for everyone :D KOKIA.. where is the new reklease? want it soooo much:D

me too!! ><

KOKIA has announced in latest radio interviews that her new album will be our in next spring, we will have to wait a little more

but there are some surprises in that interview, such as two new songs and a lovely cute thing she does

you can download the interview at my web

enjoy!

It comes from www.kaze.fr (french anime DVD release society).
It says that the new album will be release in France on novembre 29th and its name is Ai ga Kikoeru.

I think it's official.

where are the official sources?

KOKIA is in Ireland at the moment...

Kaze is the official source !

Kaze is Wasabi Record : Kaze released DVD & Wasabi Record released CD.
Wasabi Record will release "Ai ga Kikoeru" in Europe.

I'm new here, hello everyone ~ ^______^

It's really hard to find KOKIA's stuff. I just have 1 album Trip Trip and I really want more. I know here is not a place to request, but may anyone can make my wish com true? >.<

I love KOKIA's voices. Special, I think that. Her PV is simple but nice (sure, KOKIA is cute ^^) Her style music is quite strange, I think different with other artists, but good. She wrote all her lyrics and also composed her songs, right? *So admire*

@Ayesha: I go to your site, wonderful. I like much. But some of your upload stuffs in RS link and I can't download. May you give me a favor to re-upload in MU or SS link? Thanks you very much.

umm, i tihnk i have just some rapsidshare links there....

edit oops, the main links of album are RS hehe, because they are the most downloaded, the links do not exprie, that's why i hadn't re upload them on MU

edit2: well, they are INDEED expired!! LOL

i will check for them and make megaupload links, ok? but mp3 are priority, if you have a special request of lives, please, make it in the guestbook, i don't want to include them in this thread ^^

thank you very much for your comments! i really appreciate them!

and yes, you are quite right about all the kokia statements!

@ Gally : ummm, this is so strange... i wish it becamse true, perhaps she want to make a surprise... i want' to incude this in my web, but ui have to re arrange things... well, i suppose i can wait a little more ^^

Ayesha: thank you, really thank you (hugs ayesha) :love I will complete my KOKIA's stuff :yes

you're welcome!

Here is some fresh news about the album :

and if you know where to look for, you will listen the whole album ;)

Listen the hole album will be my birthday present, I want to wait ! ;)

i did record it from that site, but i have just listen to a universe (i couldn't help repeating that song and puttin into my iPod since i listen to it, it's an AMZING song) and why do I sing? the piano part is gorgeous!

apart from that, i knew the two songs fro birthday presen.. and some parts of the others, but not WHOLE album. I also wanted to wait!!!

by the way, i have read your message in animellusion, i think it's a good idea to preserve the album. you can read my opinion in my last entry, related with the album, in my web happii KOKIA

Thank you ! Really ! :luv2

You know, in France, the album cost only 16 euro on the internet and 20 euro in a shop. The box contains the CD, a great booklet with lyrics in romaji + translation in english and in french + a poster.
It is very cheap for that quality !
So I've asked to all french board I knew to forbid download links to this album and they all agree.

I don't asked here because I think the board is to big to forbid that link but if AHS agree with the idea, it will be really nice.

For those who want to try before buying go to Radio Nozomi (the first J-Pop radio) or Official french website ("discographie" part).

well, in act it costs 34 euros with all the taxes and sending costs... but yes, it's really cheap, because te quality is high. i wish i could buy ir cheaper, or you know, if you order sveral, it will be cheaper...

anyway, i don't think that the album will be post here because i have posted several times rare songs of kokia in the dl's section and there has not been much fuss about it.

Oooh, nice...thanks for the heads up! I'd buy it just for "The story of two daughters" :luv2

she told the story in the concert, the story of that song. it's very touching, the song taks about her mother and her sister.

Dont forget the new album out in May.

ohhh, so it won't be distributed via shops... just her site... i hope it's easy for overseas fans to get it!

u CAN ORDER it off Cdjapan.

i was refering to the DVD

3 new concerts in Europe :

- KOKIA “Best of” - La Mutalité (Paris / France) - 22 March 2008

i will try to go to the paris ones!

Ooh, that might be over spring break for me next year...it'd be cool if I could go! :D

this time i'm gonna promote myself LOL

DVD is available for japanese people :

http://annoyume2.ocnk.net/product/15

that's supose to be sold overseas, but i have tried to make all the process and it gives an error at the end

i'm working on a guide to buy it

but i have not published it because the last step fails...

Not yet : to get that link, from Kokia's website, there is a notice :

-> 現在の所、こちらで販売しているKOKIAグッズは海外への発送は取り扱っておりません。
-> Currently, we are unable to ship the KOKIA goods sold in this section overseas

So we have to wait ... :(
But, there is a lot of people who are keeping an eye on her website. I suppose Radio Nozomi will give us a guide to buy it when the DVD will be available for us (in french, but I can try to translate it with my awful english :D :tomato ).

:idea

AKIBADO can order and ship it !!
but il will be 30% more expensive ...

I have sent a mail to Nippon Export.
They can ship the DVD to us (Europe, America...)
BUT:
We have to pay:
- Price of DVD: 5080 yen
- Standard delivery charge from Anco(Kokia) to Nippon Export: 1215 yen
- The commission payable for using their services:950 yen
- Standard delivery charge from Nippon Export to us (SAL or EMS) [for exemple: 1290 yen to France with SAL]

So, the price is (for France or Europe (for exemple)): 8535 yen

I think it's quite expensive...:grumpy

For Akibado => It's more expensive (commission fee: 1200 yen)

I hope that it will release in Europe (soon)...:rolleyes

i began a guide too,


(i began it because i don't know where i read it that good would be shipped overseas.. - if i find it again i'll post it here)

But i have not uploaded since the final step gives error.. and therefore, i haven't get to buy iy

besides,it says it won't be shipped until the 14th of may onwards...

personally, i'm rather upset with this thing. We have waited for 5 months, and when it finally arrives, we cannot but it. It should have been distributed in fnac too...

Thank you very much for the info ¤¤Keiko¤¤! And welcome to the forum ^^

I do hope we have a different method to get the DVD...

sorry sorry! I.m back! I lost this thread and the other!! T_T

well wha tI have to say about "inochi no hikari" is that I love the new song is mellow and it sounds as if it was released from the album "Aigakikukeru" but it also sound like her old stuff...

I love that it´s only piano! you can listen to her voice really nice!


:P it took me cute some time :P

I DL this at night!

thankS! :D

Ai ga Kikoeru is now sold in Belgium for only 15,90 euros :yes

so that's why KOKIA said in her blog aigakikoeru was sold all over Europe - i was a little surrpised, ithought it was a a misundertood translation...


but it's sold in real shops???

EDIT:

i searched for it

fnac belgium

Yes, I have buy my own album in this shop ^^
I was a real surprise to find the cd to the entrance of the shop who is one of the biggest of Belgium!

wah!!!! so cool!!! hope more people buy it!!!

All of that !
Try this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k44LAvUWW8Y

*goes directly to my ipod*

haha, you're kinda excited! i understand it hehe

that video was posted inher video section, in her official web. it's only available in wmv quality, but... it's better than nothing, don't you think so? the sound quality of the wmv hosted in her web are not really bad ^^

i have the mp3 rip in my nano

do you mind uploading the .wmv ? T_T I visit her site and I think the link is down.. unless I clicked somehting else?

or do you mind sharring the link from the site? maybe I clicked something else n_n

thanks!

this is her official site

this is the video section

you'll find the video almost at the bottom!

(i suppose we are referring to "il mare dei souni")

yeah I visited there...

I was talking about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k44LAvUWW8Y x_x is the same?

I think this version of Dandelion was on her old Victor Entertainement website ...

Look at it in www.dailymotion.com
sometimes, it propose to download the video ...

BTW, it seems that the video is available in Jewel~best video collection~
-> http://www.jvcmusic.co.jp/-/Discogra.../VIBL-322.html

Ayesha : how did rip WMA video ? I just can rip AVI video :/

yes, dandelion PV is available in the jewel collection.

it seems the videos are no longer available to download from dailymotion...

and the available video in jvc web is just a sample of the video...

try veoh!
http://www.veoh.com/videos/e133929Q5...646433&rank=16


you mean how to rip wmv video?
it's easy, i use flashget,

in the video scren press right button, copy te url, and then paste in the flashget application, in the proper place (edition > paste url) it's easy!

I see thanks guys! but.. one question.. that Dandelion PV is the only one out there? I thought it was like... a special clip or something.

i don't undertand you ^^uu

(say it in spanish, if you want!)

btw, if you keep enjoying KOKIA so much, you'll have to change your nick!

I've tried! xD minKokiAYuko xD it dosen't sound as bad! xD...

que si solo hay un video de Dandelion? por que como el clip decia abajo "victor entrenatimen" pensé que era un especial o algo u_u

no, victor entertainment es la discografia de KOKIA (bueno, era, porque ahora es medio independiente o algo asi, el caso es que el aigakikoeru en japon se lo ha editado victor, un poco rara la cosa...)

solo hay un video de dandelion, pues.

I see thanks! awesome! =D I was planning on buying the DVD anyway... but now I have even better reasong to buy it! :D

thanks!

it's a nice DVD!!!

btw, i have written a spanish review of the album, i have put in in a spanish blog (elblogdelny.com) and today, i have posted in happii KOKIA.

so.. what do you thnk about KOKIA's film - Grandfather's Turip??

I think is so emotional! so touching and i love the aesthetics of the film, so pure and calm...

puuuhh ... heavy stuff ... good voice ... so professional ... I was blown away by that video

I'll download that saturday, thanx ;)

awesome I will check it out!.. actually I saw it a couple of days but I didn't read it xD

thanks!

she's de best isnçt she? :lech

^well if you say so :)

:think

she's good ... But I can't say she's the best 'cause I didn't heared really much ... sorry ... :( ... don't hit me :(

^ well I not meant compering to other artists what I try to say is that she´s really goo at what she does! and she has an amazing voice!

n_n

^hell yeah she's really good ... currently I'm trying to get some of her albums and singles ... is there a downloadble disco only here on AHS?

^ I see.. mmh.. not that I recall.. BUT you can visit ayesha's page there you can DL the albums and other stuff, you can read more about it at her site! n_n

the link is on her profile!

^well thank you but I've done a little searching and found her disco in a dc++ hub ... thank you anyway

^ sure no prob! hope you enjoy it! =D

and besides, the full disco is not longer available to download in my web... tons of material (rare and many of tehm "must download"), but not her official discography. but of course, it can be founded some where...

^well i give the "must downloads" a try ... thank you very much

This woman is amazing! I just discovered her and now I have alot of material to listen to. =) Yay! I had to order her new album after hearing Hope of an ugly ducklin'. Her voice just pulls emotions from me and it's a joy to listen to. It's also killing me cuz I want to listen to the new album on my zen, but I'm waiting for it to come in. GRrr! Dang snail mail.

^ you're really happy to discover KOKIA! i'm glad! you'll enjoy the musci more now! hehe

I have "Grandfather Tulip" ! Thank you for sharing Ayesha !
